Attaching a newly created vhostuser port to a VM fails due to an apparmor denial internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'chardev-add': Failed to bind socket to /run/openvswitch/vhu838c4d29-c9: Permission denied In the case of a net device type VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_VHOSTUSER, the underlying chardev is not labeled in qemuDomainAttachNetDevice prior to calling qemuMonitorAttachCharDev. Label the chardev before calling qemuMonitorAttachCharDev, and restore the label when removing the net device.

It seems they would suffer the same problem when restoring the labels.

Is it safe to use qemuSecuritySetChardevLabel for a vhostuser net device? Is the underlying socket always in listen mode for these devices?

At least when adding an openvswitch vhostuser port to a running VM, the underlying socket has 'server=true' 2021-04-22 15:29:40.261+0000: 643: debug : qemuMonitorJSONCheckError:401 : unable to execute QEMU command {"execute":"chardev-add","arguments":{"id":"charnet1","backend":{"type":"socket","data":{"addr":{"type":"unix","data":{"path":"/run/openvswitch/vhu2fca98d5-52"}},"wait":false,"server":true}}},"id":"libvirt-689"}: {"id":"libvirt-689","error":{"class":"GenericError","desc":"Failed to bind socket to /run/openvswitch/vhu2fca98d5-52: Permission denied"}} Regards, Jim

But I view chardevs as runtime, fire and go things. I mean, you start a VM with a chardev, say an UNIX socket and its lifetime is identical to the VM lifetime. vhostuser on the other hand is handled by a third party daemon (typically OVS) and thus UNIX socket lifetime is different to VM lifetime. IOW, I worry that if we changed the UNIX socket label we might be preventing other VMs from connecting to it. And I don't even know if a single socket can be shared between two VMs. For instance, if OVS created an UNIX socket whether I can attach vhostuser interface to one domain and then to the other. Because if I could, then we should not change labels. Perhaps Laine can shed more light here.

I do understand that apparmor needs to add an entry to the VM's profile, but I worry that DAC and SELinux might screw things up. >> >>> So I think we should address this inconsistency in behavior.

This way we can have only AppArmor driver implement the callback leaving us with consistent behavior. Michal
