Description Alex Stupnikov 2022-08-29 15:04:40 UTC

Description of problem:
When systemd-hostnamed service is restarted or hostnamectl command is issued, the child of systemd (which will later be systemd-hostnamed) remounts all file systems read-only (MS_RDONLY) as per service unit policy (ProtectXXX stanzas). SELinux blocks ostnamed from remounting container_ro_file_t filesystems.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 8.2, RHEL 8.4 (reproduced on both)


How reproducible:
Restart systemd-hostnamed service or issue hostnamectl command on host with podman containers and container_ro_file_t mounts (RHOSP Compute nodes specifically).

Actual results:
SELinux is preventing ostnamed from remounting container_ro_file_t filesystems

Expected results:
SELinux is allowing ostnamed from remounting container_ro_file_t filesystems

Additional info:
Will provide in private follow-up
