Description Paul Holzinger 2021-07-15 16:08:09 UTC
Description of problem:
Starting and stopping rootless containers with cni networks connected at the same time is not race safe.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
v3.2.2

How reproducible:

Sometimes (depending on the system because it is a race condition)

Steps to Reproduce:
Concurrently start and stop some containers with cni networks as rootless.

Actual results:
It fails sometimes, after the first error all other podman start and stop commands will fail as well. The user has to clean XDG_RUNTIME_DIR in order to get it back working (e.g. systemd session logout or reboot)

Expected results:

Podman should be safe to use concurrently.

Additional info:
Upstream issues: https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/10930, https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/10922
Upstream PR to fix main branch: https://github.com/containers/podman/pull/10939

The upstream fix should be backported to v3.2.

Comment 1 Paul Holzinger 2021-07-16 08:38:57 UTC
Backport PR https://github.com/containers/podman/pull/10945 has been merged into v3.2.
