    • Known Issue
    • When using the SELinux Enforcing mode, crypto passthrough won't work.
    • Proposed
    • s390x

      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      Use mediated devices for vfio_ap (crypto device passthrough to KVM guests)

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      selinux-policy-40.13.7-1.el10.noarch
       

      How reproducible:

      100%

      Steps to reproduce

      All of the following steps will fail with enforcing. Switch between enforcing and permissive to record each step.

      1.  # cat vfio_ap_nodedev.xml 
        <device>
        	<!-- same parent device for all -->
        	<parent>ap_matrix</parent>
        	<capability type="mdev">
        		<type id="vfio_ap-passthrough"/>
        		<uuid>d36d7d0f-cf3d-4fef-bb9c-ed393954996b</uuid>
        		<attr name="assign_adapter" value="0x01"/>
        		<attr name="assign_domain" value="0x0012"/>
        	</capability>
        </device>

      2.  virsh define nodedev.xml - libvirt will report a device was defined, let it's name be nodedev
      3.  virsh start nodedev
      4.  virsh destroy nodedev
      5. virsh undefine nodedev

      Expected results

      all steps succeed with enforcing

      Actual results

      each step fails with enforcing but succeeds with permissive

      Additional info

      Full workflow with nodedev-define nodedev-start nodedev-destroy nodedev-undefine switching between enforcing and permissive
