Description Chris Murphy 2019-12-28 22:49:51 UTC
Description of problem:

Unable to startup VMs in virt-manager unless firewalld is stopped first.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firewalld-0.8.0-1.fc32.noarch
python3-firewall-0.8.0-1.fc32.noarch
python3-nftables-0.9.3-1.fc32.x86_64
nftables-0.9.3-1.fc32.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to create a VM using virt-manager
2. NAT is "inactive" probably due to prior errors, when virt-manager asks to make it active, it results in more errors (see screenshot). VM can't be started.
3.

Actual results:

VM can't be started.

Expected results:

libvirt should be able to make NAT active by default for VM's out of the box.

Comment 3 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2019-12-28 23:07:18 UTC
Proposed as a Blocker for 32-beta by Fedora user chrismurphy using the blocker tracking app because:

 Beta:
"The release must be able host virtual guest instances of the same release."

Basic says the release must install and boot as a guest of a host running the current release. So that doesn't apply.

Comment 4 Eric Garver 2020-01-06 14:13:38 UTC
The logs show initial firewalld errors:

  [   16.756380] fmac.local firewalld[838]: ERROR: 'python-nftables' failed: internal:0:0-0: Error: Could not process rule: Operation not supported
  ...
  JSON blob:
  {"nftables": [{"metainfo": {"json_schema_version": 1}}, {"add": {"table": {"family": "inet", "name": "firewalld"}}}, {"add": {"table": {"family": "ip", "name": "firewalld"}}}, {"add": {"table": {"family": "ip6", "name": "firewalld"}}}]}


These are the very first rules generated by firewalld and they're simply adding the top-level tables. This may be completely unrelated to libvirt. Getting EOPNOTSUPP at this point is weird.
There was also an AVC denial for modprobe. This might explain the EOPNOTSUPP:

  [   16.254448] fmac.local audit[932]: AVC avc:  denied  { nnp_transition } for  pid=932 comm="(modprobe)" scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:kmod_t:s0 tclass=process2 permissive=0


Can you try it again with setenforce=0 ?

Comment 5 Eric Garver 2020-01-06 14:14:38 UTC
I forgot to mention, you'll have to setenforce=0, then restart firewalld and libvirt before trying again.

Comment 6 Chris Murphy 2020-01-07 03:59:15 UTC
Confirmed, it boots with enforcing=0 or selinux=0.

    Allow init_t nnp domain transition to kmod_t
