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.

config.json for failing container

podman, built from recent master (aba3a8423682635f98e4e3fd4d9a3e5a36667aeb) on rhel8:

    testuser$ podman  run --rm alpine_labels date
    Error: container create failed: cannot specify gid= mount options for unmapped gid in rootless containers
    : internal libpod error

Works fine with podman-1.0.0-2.git921f98f.module+el8+2785+ff8a053f.x86_64

At Matt's suggestion, looking at the OCI spec yields:

    $ jq . < ~/.local/share/containers/storage/overlay-containers/f292eae1edd581dda6db479b10a4184004f89b9c2533484d8bd64cb3c01098ad/userdata/config.json | grep -5 gid=
            "nosuid",
            "noexec",
            "newinstance",
            "ptmxmode=0666",
            "mode=0620",
            "gid=5"           <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
          ]
        },
        {
          "destination": "/dev/mqueue",
          "type": "mqueue",

(full config.json attached, after processing with jq to make it readable)

Those values suspiciously match ones in vendor/github.com/opencontainers/runtime-tools/generate/generate.go

A container created by older podman (1.0.0-2.etc, see above) does not contain the string 'gid=' in its config.json

FWIW the same podman produces a similar config.json on f29 (containing 'gid=') but on this system it works fine.

Comment 1 Ed Santiago 2019-03-27 19:38:51 UTC
runc-1.0.0-54.rc5.dev.git2abd837.module+el8+2769+577ad176.x86_64

Comment 2 Giuseppe Scrivano 2019-03-27 20:58:54 UTC
do you have multiple UIDs configured for the user (via /etc/subuid)?

If so, then it is a bug in runc, already fixed upstream: https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/pull/1862

Comment 3 Ed Santiago 2019-03-27 21:04:35 UTC
/etc/sub[ug]id are both: podmantest:100000:65536

Should I (can I) change component on this to runc?

Comment 4 Giuseppe Scrivano 2019-03-27 21:08:36 UTC
yes please, we will probably need to rebase runc as well once we rebase podman

proposed backport

I've attached the backport for the upstream patch that fixes the issue

Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2019-04-03 21:44:53 UTC
We need a whole new version of runc.  Lets grab the latest release.

Can reproduce with give runc and podman version. Test with following package and it works well. Details:

$ podman  run --rm alpine date
