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 of problem:
Do RDMA migration, migration succeeds, but there is audit error on target host.

Version-Release number of selected component:
qemu-kvm-4.2.0-17.module+el8.2.0+6141+0f540f16.x86_64
selinux-policy-3.14.3-41.el8.noarch
libvirt-6.0.0-17.module+el8.2.0+6257+0d066c28.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup rdma migration env

2. Start a vm, and do migration:
# virsh migrate rhev qemu+ssh://*****/system  --live --verbose --p2p --listen-address 0.0.0.0 --migrateuri rdma://192.168.100.8
[100%]

3. After migration completes, check audit message on target host:
# ausearch -c qemu-kvm -m avc

Hi,
  Can you check your /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf,  you may need to add /dev/infiniband stuff to cgroup_device_acl, in my config I have:

cgroup_device_acl = [
    "/dev/null", "/dev/full", "/dev/zero",
    "/dev/random", "/dev/urandom",
    "/dev/ptmx", "/dev/kvm",
    "/dev/rtc","/dev/hpet",
   "/dev/infiniband/rdma_cm",
   "/dev/infiniband/issm0",
   "/dev/infiniband/issm1",
   "/dev/infiniband/umad0",
   "/dev/infiniband/umad1",
   "/dev/infiniband/uverbs0"
]


(the /dev/mapper/control is weirder though)

This is tracked in bug 1822522. Nevertheless, it's still weird.
Comment 4 Dr. David Alan Gilbert 2020-05-07 14:39:39 UTC 
Also, which RDMA card is this? I see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1786670 but that seems to only by Intel Omni path
Comment 5 Fangge Jin 2020-05-08 02:31:57 UTC 
1) I have cgroup_device_acl configured correctly, or migration will fail.

2) The RDMA card I used is:
3b:00.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27700 Family [ConnectX-4]
Comment 8 John Ferlan 2021-09-09 18:23:25 UTC 
Bulk update: Move RHEL-AV bugs to RHEL9. If necessary to resolve in RHEL8, then clone to the current RHEL8 release.
Comment 9 RHEL Program Management 2021-10-09 07:27:08 UTC
