After updating my operating system, all containers starting with /usr/bin/systemd stopped working

Steps to reproduce the issue

install systemd package inside a container, then commit
start new image with /usr/bin/systemd or /sbin/init
upgrade Fedora ( host )

Describe the results you received

What packages did you update? podman, crun something else? It would help if you can narrow it down and share commands that you use so I can juts copy and paste in order to see if we can reproduce.

giuseppe · 2023-09-12T10:23:17Z

I've tried running a container with systemd, both as root and rootless on 6.6.0-0.rc0.20230908gita48fa7efaf11.10.fc40.x86_64 with Podman 4.6.2 and crun 1.9.

How was the image created? At least on Fedora, systemd is not installed at /usr/bin/systemd

rogeriojlle · 2023-09-14T17:19:50Z

One way to reproduce the error is like this:
create a Dockerfile with the following content:
The same occurs using Debian as a base

FROM ubuntu:20.04
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y systemd

after:

podman run --rm -ti <image> /sbin/init

or else:

podman run --rm -ti <image> /usr/bin/systemd

the result is the same:

[rogerio@desktop debianbug]$ podman run -ti --rm 0272436f6e49 /sbin/init
Error: OCI runtime error: crun: chmod `run/shm`: Operation not supported
[rogerio@desktop debianbug]$ podman run -ti --rm 0272436f6e49 /usr/bin/systemd
Error: OCI runtime error: crun: chmod `run/shm`: Operation not supported

At the moment I don't have an older version of my operating system available, currently this is it:

PLATFORM_ID="platform:f40"
PRETTY_NAME="Fedora Linux 40 (Workstation Edition Prerelease)"
Linux desktop 6.6.0-0.rc1.13.fc40.x86_64

@giuseppe Looks like a kernel regression maybe?

I see the same symptom on the CI image update PR in different tests: https://api.cirrus-ci.com/v1/artifact/task/6621245794418688/html/int-podman-rawhide-root-host-sqlite.log.html#t--Podman-run-with-volumes-podman-run-with-mount-flag--1

Error: OCI runtime error: crun: chmod `misc/tsget`: Operation not supported

Given the same works on f38 with the same crun the only logically thing is a kernel change that broke this:
the rawhide VM uses 6.6.0-0.rc2.20230919git2cf0f7156238.21.fc40.x86_64
f38 is on 6.5.4-200.fc38.x86_64

Could it be that crun is trying to change the permission of a symlink directly? IIRC the kernel changed the behaviour to block that.

commit 5d1f903f75a80daa4dfb3d84e114ec8ecbf29956 in the kernel, present in a release since Linux 6.6 doesn't allow anymore to change the mode of a symlink, so just ignore the failure. Closes: containers#1308 Signed-off-by: Giuseppe Scrivano <[email protected]>

giuseppe · 2023-09-22T09:37:28Z

yes that is related to a change in the kernel, opened a PR: #1309

Alright, so after all I figured out how to resolve this with Ubuntu containers. Here's my guide for the interested:

https://noobient.com/2023/11/15/fixing-ubuntu-containers-failing-to-start-with-systemd/

This is to workaround issues in the package shipped by the OS[1]. [1] containers/crun#1308 Closes-Bug: #2056210 Change-Id: I16f83d7e9cc127ce6997a85097d1517ce54fbefc

containers/crun#1308

Containers get stuck in the creating state. This is a known issue[1,2] and several workarounds are suggested in the ansible-collection-kolla bug report[3].
