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 Fangge Jin 2021-09-03 13:30:05 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2000410 +++

Description of problem:

using virt-qemu-run to start guest with specified root dir and luks image failed with error "No current identity to elevate"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-7.6.0-2.module+el8.5.0+12219+a5ea13d2.x86_64



How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.prepare a qcow2 luks image
#qemu-img create --object secret,id=sec0,data=123456 -f qcow2 -o encrypt.format=luks,encrypt.key-secret=sec0 /var/lib/libvirt/images/luks.qcow2 1G

2.Prepare secret xml and secret value:
#cat /xml/secret.xml
  <secret ephemeral='no' private='yes'>
         <description>LUKS Sample Secret</description>
         <uuid>f981dd17-143f-45bc-88e6-ed1fe20ce9da</uuid>
         <usage type='volume'>
            <volume>/var/lib/libvirt/images/luks.img</volume>
         </usage>
      </secret> 

#cat /xml/secret-value
123456

3.Prepare a guest xml with the luks image:
#cat /tmp/vm1.xml
...
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2' cache='none' io='threads' copy_on_read='off'/>
      <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/luks.qcow2' index='1'>
              <encryption format='luks'>
        <secret type='passphrase' uuid='f981dd17-143f-45bc-88e6-ed1fe20ce9da'/>
</encryption>
     </source>
...
</disk>
...

4. Start guest with specified root dir and luks image:
# virt-qemu-run -s /xml/secret.xml,/xml/value -d -v -r /tmp/test1 /tmp/vm1.xml

Actual results:

virt-qemu-run: 127: initializing libvirt 259671
virt-qemu-run: 1719: initializing signal handlers
virt-qemu-run: 1807: preparing event loop thread
virt-qemu-run: 1999: opening secret:///embed?root=%2Ftmp%2Ftest1

virt-qemu-run: cannot start VM: internal error: No current identity to elevate
virt-qemu-run: 452573: cleaned up, exiting


Expected results:
Start guest successfully and show verbose output.

Start vm without specified root dir has same issue
