[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#908362: VMs fail to start with "Kernel does not provide mount namespace: Permission denied"

[Michael Biebl]

Package: libvirt-daemon-system
Version: 4.6.0-2
Severity: grave

Hi,

with the kernel update to 4.18, I'm no longer able to start any VMs via
libvirt/virt-manager. I get the following error:

Error starting domain: internal error: child reported: Kernel does not provide mount namespace: Permission denied

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 89, in cb_wrapper
    callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 125, in tmpcb
    callback(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/libvirtobject.py", line 82, in newfn
    ret = fn(self, *args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 1508, in startup
    self._backend.create()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 1080, in create
    if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: internal error: child reported: Kernel does not provide mount namespace: Permission denied

If I disable AppArmor, I can successfully start the VMs.
Since AppArmor is enabled by default, I think the RC severity is
justified.
I've CCed the AppArmor maintainers, as I'm not sure if this is a bug in
this package or apparmor. Please reassign if necessary.

Regards,
Michael
