On live migration with --p2p like: $ virsh migrate --live --p2p kvmguest-bionic-normal \ qemu+ssh://10.6.221.80/system We hit an apparmor deny like: apparmor="DENIED" operation="file_inherit" profile="/usr/sbin/libvirtd" pid=23477 comm="ssh" family="unix" sock_type="stream" protocol=0 requested_mask="send receive" denied_mask="send" addr=none peer_addr=none peer="unconfined" The rule is not perfect, but can't be restricted further at the moment (new upstream kernel features needed). For now the lack of a profile on the peer as well as comm not being a conditional on rules do not allow to filter further.
