How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run libguestfs-test-tool with SELinux enabled.

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-01-17 18:45:07 UTC
audit2allow suggests:

#============= svirt_t ==============
allow svirt_t user_tmp_t:file open;

I'm pretty sure we fixed this already in another bug.

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-01-17 18:59:06 UTC
Perhaps bug 860235 or bug 871749?

Comment 3 Miroslav Grepl 2013-01-18 10:13:55 UTC
Well this is the same issue which we have in the #871749 bug.

Comment 4 Daniel Berrangé 2013-01-18 10:18:22 UTC
What is the XML used for this guest ?

Attached is the output of libguestfs-test-tool which
contains the XML along with other details that may be
relevant.

Comment 6 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-01-18 10:50:27 UTC
XML was a bit hard to read.  Here it is formatted properly:

Comment 7 Daniel Berrangé 2013-01-18 10:55:35 UTC
Ok here is the XML disk path

    <disk type="file" device="disk">
      <source file="/home/rjones/d/libguestfs/tmp/libguestfsyZxbFW/snapshot1"/>
      <target dev="sdb" bus="scsi"/>
      <driver name="qemu" type="qcow2" cache="unsafe"/>
      <address type="drive" controller="0" bus="0" target="1" unit="0"/>
      <shareable/>
    </disk>

Now, I assuming that qcow2 file has a backing file of 

  /home/rjones/d/libguestfs/tmp/.guestfs-1000/root.7923

And when QEMU says

  could not open disk image /home/rjones/d/libguestfs/tmp/libguestfso7pUI1/snapshot1: Permission denied

it probably actually means

  could not open disk image /home/rjones/d/libguestfs/tmp/.guestfs-1000/root.7923

the strange thing is that libvirt relabels qcow2 backing files, so that shouldn't have 'tmp_t' context

Be interested to see the libvirt log output with   log_filters="1:security 1:qemu" set while starting this guest, to verify what libvirt has labelled.

Comment 8 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-01-18 11:21:13 UTC
FYI here are the labels on the files and directories:

Comment 10 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-01-22 18:09:17 UTC
Looks like the same problem occurs in libvirt.git:

*stdin*:4: libguestfs: error: could not create appliance through libvirt: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-kvm: -drive file=/home/rjones/d/libguestfs/tmp/libguestfs4zc4TQ/snapshot2,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,format=qcow2: could not open disk image /home/rjones/d/libguestfs/tmp/libguestfs4zc4TQ/snapshot2: Permission denied

Comment 11 Daniel Berrangé 2013-01-22 18:22:28 UTC
The log shows the following

Notice that it doesn't set the label on the backing store. Clearly this is wrong.

Comment 12 Daniel Berrangé 2013-01-22 18:26:55 UTC
I think the regression is caused by this change

commit 38c4a9cc40476bd2e598a1876b1254e88a09c760
Author: Eric Blake <eblake>
Date:   Tue Oct 9 16:08:14 2012 -0600

    storage: use cache to walk backing chain
    
    We used to walk the backing file chain at least twice per disk,
    once to set up cgroup device whitelisting, and once to set up
    security labeling.  Rather than walk the chain every iteration,
    which possibly includes calls to fork() in order to open root-squashed
    NFS files, we can exploit the cache of the previous patch.
    
    * src/conf/domain_conf.h (virDomainDiskDefForeachPath): Alter
    signature.
    * src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainDiskDefForeachPath): Require caller
    to supply backing chain via disk, if recursion is desired.
    * src/security/security_dac.c
    (virSecurityDACSetSecurityImageLabel): Adjust caller.
    * src/security/security_selinux.c
    (virSecuritySELinuxSetSecurityImageLabel): Likewise.
    * src/security/virt-aa-helper.c (get_files): Likewise.
    * src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c (qemuSetupDiskCgroup)
    (qemuTeardownDiskCgroup): Likewise.
    (qemuSetupCgroup): Pre-populate chain.


Previously virDomainDiskDefForeachPath would examine disk files to identify the backing stores. Now that method relies on disk->backingChain having been pre-populated.

The above change alters qemuSetupCgroup to invoke qemuDomainDetermineDiskChain, but this code will never run if cgroups are not active. This is the case for session libvirtd of course. I think the call to qemuDomainDetermineDiskChain needs to be moved out of the cgroups code, and into qemuProcessStart instead

Aha - that definitely explains it, and moving the pre-populate out of cgroup-specific stuff should indeed help.

Proposed patch:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-February/msg01174.html

Comment 16 Eric Blake 2013-02-21 20:18:31 UTC
Fix will appear in 1.0.3 at end of Feb; is that soon enough, or do we need a rawhide 1.0.2-3 build with this backported?

commit 82d5fe543720da6d83c1d6bfa1c347d7d9fda278
Author: Eric Blake <eblake>
Date:   Wed Feb 20 15:34:48 2013 -0700

    qemu: check backing chains even when cgroup is omitted
    
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=896685 points out
    a regression caused by commit 38c4a9c - libvirt only labels
    the backing chain if the backing chain cache is populated, but
    the code to populate the cache was only conditionally performed
    if cgroup labeling was necessary.
    
    * src/qemu/qemu_cgroup.c (qemuSetupCgroup): Hoist cache setup...
    * src/qemu/qemu_process.c (qemuProcessStart): ...earlier into
    caller, where it is now unconditional.

Comment 17 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-02-28 10:06:32 UTC
Eric, I will do the backport to Rawhide shortly.
