[PATCH 1/3] Fix apparmor issues for Xen

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In order for apparmor to work properly in Xen environments, the following
access rights need to be allowed:

 - Allow CAP_SYS_PACCT, which is required when resetting some multi-port
   Broadcom cards by writting to the PCI config space

 - Allow CAP_IPC_LOCK, which is required to lock/unlock memory. Without
   this setting, an error 'Resource temporarily unavailable' can be seen
   while attempting to mmap memory. At the same time, the following
   apparmor message is seen:

   apparmor="DENIED" operation="capable" parent=1 profile="/usr/sbin/libvirtd"
   pid=2097 comm="libvirtd" pid=2097 comm="libvirtd" capability=14
   capname="ipc_lock"

 - Allow access to distribution specific directories:
     /usr/{lib,lib64}/xen/bin
