Commit 379c0ce4bfed introduced a call to umount(/dev) performed inside the namespace that we run QEMU in. As a result of this, on machines using AppArmor, VM startup now fails with internal error: Process exited prior to exec: libvirt: QEMU Driver error: failed to umount devfs on /dev: Permission denied The corresponding denial is AVC apparmor="DENIED" operation="umount" profile="libvirtd" name="/dev/" pid=70036 comm="rpc-libvirtd" Extend the AppArmor configuration for virtqemud and libvirtd so that this operation is allowed.
