@alexlarsson what about |
|
Do we know of a few existing issues that this fixes? |
|
I know about the above problem only, but that was reported pretty quickly to the redhat bugzilla, so i'm sure more things will show up. |
|
@crosbymichael irq looks iffy enought that we should probably also make that readonly |
|
@alexlarsson ok, can you update for irq? |
Some applications want to write to /proc. For instance:
docker run -it centos groupadd foo
Gives: groupadd: failure while writing changes to /etc/group
And strace reveals why:
open("/proc/self/task/13/attr/fscreate", O_RDWR) = -1 EROFS (Read-only file system)
I've looked at what other systems do, and systemd-nspawn makes /proc read-write
and /proc/sys readonly, while lxc allows "proc:mixed" which does the same,
plus it makes /proc/sysrq-trigger also readonly.
The later seems like a prudent idea, so we follows lxc proc:mixed.
Additionally we make /proc/irq and /proc/bus, as these seem to let
you control various hardware things.
