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.

Description Vitaly Kuznetsov 2016-02-17 15:43:01 UTC 
Description of problem:
This is RHEL7 clone of the following Fedora BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1241636

I plan to upgrade hyperv-daemons package switching hypervvssd and hypervkvpd daemons to using char devices instead of netlink to communicate with kernel. To support the change I need to grant the following:

/usr/sbin/hypervvssd needs to access /dev/vmbus/hv_vss (open, read, write)

/usr/sbin/hypervkvpd needs to access /dev/vmbus/hv_kvp (open, read, write)

audit2allow generates the following:
#============= hypervkvp_t ==============
allow hypervkvp_t device_t:chr_file { read write open };

#============= hypervvssd_t ==============
allow hypervvssd_t device_t:chr_file { read write open };

This is sufficient but seems to be to permissive, not sure if we can assign different labels to /dev/vmbus/hv_* devices but if it's the case we can limit each daemon (hypervvssd, hypervkvpd, hypervfcopyd) to accessing its own char device.
Comment 2 Milos Malik 2016-02-19 08:08:11 UTC 
How are these devices created? Do I need to load some kernel module?
Comment 3 Vitaly Kuznetsov 2016-02-19 10:07:59 UTC 
These devices are created by hv_utils kernel module but your VM needs to run on a Hyper-V host with Guest integration services enabled. Virt QE (in CC: for this BZ, yacao@, leiwang@,...) can provide a VM for testing, I guess. You'll also need to use an updated kernel to see hv_kvp and hv_vss devices, I plan to put the required patches with https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1074407 backport. I'll provide a brew build and hyperv-daemons build for early testing shortly.
Comment 5 Mike McCune 2016-03-28 23:00:31 UTC 
This bug was accidentally moved from POST to MODIFIED via an error in automation, please see mmccune with any questions
Comment 10 xuli 2016-07-19 03:00:23 UTC 
Verify Pass on latest build.
Host: Windows server 2016 TP5
Guest:RHEL7.3 Gen1 (3.10.0-469.el7.x86_64) 
hyperv-daemons-0-0.28.20160216git.el7.x86_64

Verify steps are same with comment 7 described, also do function test of hyperv-daemons, including hypervkvpd, hypervfcopyd,hypervvssd related test cases.
Cover the scenarios mentioned:
1) Be able to get IP information from your host for both static and DHCP cases.
2) Be able to set IP ('ip injection').
3) Be able to set 'Failover IP'.

Note: for different ausearch log after ip-injection, which is tracked by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1349356, so close this bug.
