RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Bugzilla 1084052 0 unspecified CLOSED /run/lock missing, opencryptoki fails to install in Koji 2021-02-22 00:41:40 UTC

Description Jason Dillaman 2015-10-14 20:52:00 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1147248 +++

Description of problem:
Bug #1084052 adds the %post command "systemd-tmpfiles --create >/dev/null 2>&1 || :" in systemd-208-21.fc20.

Unfortunately, this removes permissions in /dev during a package upgrade.
The permissions of /dev/fuse are changed from 666 to 600. As a consequence, normal users cannot use fuse anymore.

A reboot or a downgrade to systemd <= 208-20 fixes this issue.

Using
"systemd-tmpfiles --create --exclude-prefix=/dev >/dev/null 2>&1 || :"
instead of
"systemd-tmpfiles --create >/dev/null 2>&1 || :"
would fix this problem.
However, I am not sure how it would affect the original issue reported in #1084052.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-208-21.fc20

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install fuse
2. yum install systemd-208-20 (or earlier) incl. dependencies
3. ls -l /dev/fuse
4. yum install systemd-208-21 (or later) incl. dependencies
5. ls -l /dev/fuse

Actual results:
$ ls -l /dev/fuse
crw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 10, 229 Sep 28 14:18 /dev/fuse
# update systemd
$ ls -l /dev/fuse
crw-------. 1 root root 10, 229 Sep 28 14:19 /dev/fuse

Expected results:
$ ls -l /dev/fuse
crw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 10, 229 Sep 28 14:18 /dev/fuse
# update systemd
$ ls -l /dev/fuse
crw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 10, 229 Sep 28 14:19 /dev/fuse

Additional info:

--- Additional comment from Jan Synacek on 2014-10-14 10:04:04 EDT ---

On my system, /dev/fuse is present in /run/tmpfiles.d/kmod.conf. It has a 'c' flag, meaning that the file should be created only if it doesn't exist. For some reason, its mode is still set.

Fix hopefully incoming.

--- Additional comment from Jan Synacek on 2014-10-29 09:11:58 EDT ---

The fix for this problem has two parts.

First, kmod needs to be patched to properly generate the tmpfiles.d configuration. Second, systemd-tmpfiles-setup-dev.service needs to be updated to include the --boot parameter (available in systemd v217).

Is Fedora 20 going to get systemd v217?  Because if not, I don't see the point in backporting the kmod fix.  And if not, then is there something systemd should revert so that F20 is actually fixed?

F20 is not going to get systemd-217 because it's too big of a change. But it gets some backported patches, this one will be included.

Do you have a timeframe?  The fixed systemd and kmod packages should be bundled in the same update in Bodhi so this isn't broken/fixed piecemeal.

I can do the backport of that single patch and build it, and then perhaps just reassign this bug to systemd so those maintainers can create the bodhi update?

Should be tonight.

Yes...

...but I can't do the update afaik, because I'm neither maintainer for kmod nor proven packager. Somebody else will have to do the update.

OK, builds complete:

F21: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=588917
F20: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=588919

--- Additional comment from Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek on 2014-10-30 01:24:31 EDT ---

So... If someone who can could create an F20 update using systemd-208-26.fc20 kmod-15-2.fc20. I guess I should apply for proven packager privileges for the next time.

systemd-216-7 is building now. It has fixes for this and the other bugs that were in the queue. I also added a requirement for kmod >= 18-4.

It would be great if you (or someone) could create an update for F21.

Bugs #1154126, #727499, #1157847, #1154768, #1159641, #1158206, #1151958, and this one (#1147248).

Hi Josh,
I canceled the update yesterday because sgallagh and adamw asked me to split out one patch as a separate update to fix the upgrade images. This smaller update went stable yesterday, so this one is good to go again. If you could release it:
 - kmod-18-4.fc21,systemd-216-9.fc21
 - #1154126, #1157847, #1154768, #1158206, #1151958 (slightly smaller then previously, because of the split, and also because I removed one patch which is a cleanup and can wait)

Thank you for your patience!

-10 only has this one patch:

- systemd-journald-flush.service hang caused a by a race with systemd-journald.service start is fixed by changing the latter to Type=notify.

As for -9:

- PackageKit.service is dropped from presets (#1154126)
- /dev/disk/by-path paths are again created for iscsi and other "well-known" scsi buses (#1157847)
- boot and shutdown timeouts remain disabled (#1154768)
- timers.target is not scheduled before basic.target to avoid a dependency loop during bootup when ntp is used (#1158206)
- Obsolete fi-latin1 Finnish keymap is dropped (#1151958)
- StartTimeout* options are ignored to avoid warnings if a patched fedup (from bug #1159292) was used in to upgrade which writes a custom /etc/systemd/system.conf to disable the start timeout.
- A mistaken assert that would cause an exception in systemd-python context manager code is removed.
- systemctl will guess the ".target" suffix when 'isolate' verb is used.
- shell completion suggestions will propose more units for 'start'/'restart' verbs.
- shell completion suggestions will be provided for 'set-default', 'get-default', 'is-system-running'.
- $NOTIFY_SOCKET is also set for control procs if NotifyAccess=all is specified in the service file.
- The mechanism with which systemctl asks for interactive authorization was changed to use the new d-bus flag for interactive authorization. Should not result in a visible change in behaviour.
- Hardware database entry is added for keys on compaq ku 0133 keyboards.
- Hardware database entry for Dell Inspiron 1520 is tweaked to avoid double keystrokes.
- Hardware database of Bluetooth companies is updated.
- A few (potential but unlikely to be hit) errors on out-of-memory conditions were fixed.
- Socket activation of systemd-journal-remote daemon is fixed.
- The --trust=all option of systemd-journal-upload works again.
- Socket symlinks now get proper SELinux labels.
- The shutdown process is quiet all the way into late shutdown.
- Compilation on hppa is fixed.
- Various man pages are updated and spelling fixes applied.
- System manager will not print status messages when passwords are being queried during boot.
- Other swap options from fstab, in addition to discard=..., will be passed to swapon. Currently none are supported, but this could be useful in the future if any are added.
- systemd-sysusers will not change the ownership and permissions on /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow when adding users (systemd-sysusers is not used by Fedora packages currently).
- Creation of a snapshot unit with an existing name will be properly refused.
- udev will not crash if an invalid log level is given on the kernel command line or in the config file.
- An error in the kernel-install script which caused it to exit with the message "Could not determine the kernel command line parameters" is fixed.
- Journal flushing was changed to by synchronous, so correct permissions are assigned to journal files, and the journal can be read by users in the systemd-journal and adm groups.

--- Additional comment from David Woodhouse on 2014-11-12 13:18:29 EST ---

During a 'dnf update' today which installed systemd-216-11.fc11 and kmod-18-4.fc21:

[dwoodhou@i7 ~]$ ls -l /dev/net/tun
crw-------. 1 root root 10, 200 Nov 12 18:11 /dev/net/tun
[dwoodhou@i7 ~]$ ls -l /dev/net/tun
crw-------. 1 root root 10, 200 Nov 12 18:11 /dev/net/tun

On another system I tried installing kmod-18-4.fc21 first just in case there were ordering issues which you'd forgotten to express in the RPM dependencies, and the permissions were reset there too.

--- Additional comment from Sergio Monteiro Basto on 2014-11-13 00:49:57 EST ---

yeah , this weekend /dev/fuse appears  without permissions when try run sshfs with my normal user 
I had done, this as root to fix it : 
chmod o+rw /dev/fuse
chmod g+rw /dev/fuse

but this happened after update systemd and other stable packages of fedora , without do a reboot and after wakeup from S3 , so a systemd update may need a reboot ? ...

--- Additional comment from Jan Synacek on 2014-11-13 01:33:18 EST ---

Did you reboot the system after the update?

--- Additional comment from David Woodhouse on 2014-11-13 06:12:13 EST ---

(In reply to Jan Synacek from comment #27)
> Did you reboot the system after the update?

No. The problem is "permissions are mangled during the upgrade". Hasn't a reboot *always* been sufficient to fix the permissions again? It's not clear what you expect to learn from your question. Do you think we might have made things *worse*, so a reboot no *longer* fixes the permissions? :)

--- Additional comment from Bruno Wolff III on 2014-11-13 10:14:08 EST ---

I haven't seen the issue crop up with /dev/snd recently. Was there just a one off fix for that or is something else going on with /dev/fuse?

--- Additional comment from Jan Synacek on 2014-11-14 02:33:24 EST ---

The fix should apply to all devices listed in /run/tmpfiles.d/kmod.conf. The fix was actually two patches (systemd and kmod) that had to be applied *both*. IIRC there was a short period of time when one of the packages was available for update but second wasn't, that shouldn't be the case anymore, though. And I'm not sure, by I think that for the changes to take full effect, you just have to reboot the machine.

--- Additional comment from David Woodhouse on 2015-01-07 06:52:51 EST ---

I just saw /dev/net/tun with permissions 0600 on two separate Fedora 20 systems after updating today. This bug doesn't seem to be fixed.

Comment 1 Jason Dillaman 2015-10-14 20:53:27 UTC
Reproduced this issue on RHEL 7.0 and 7.1 -- verified that /run/tmpfiles.d/kmod.conf is missing the exclamation mark.

Comment 3 Lukáš Nykrýn 2016-04-21 09:02:27 UTC
I believe 7.2 contains the fix mentioned in the fedora bug.
