No executable bit on the checkpoint directory

[fduthilleul]

Some checkpointctl commands are failing on RHEL9 as the checkpoint directory has no executable bit set.

$ checkpointctl inspect checkpoint.tar --ps-tree --metadata
Error: unpacking of checkpoint archive failed: open /tmp/checkpointctl1110485167/checkpoint/core-1.img: permission denied

The same command is working when running as root

[lab-user@rhel9 ~]$ sudo checkpointctl inspect checkpoint.tar --ps-tree --metadata

Thanks for the report. I can reproduce this locally. Should be an easy fix by just setting the right bits after unpacking.

We probably should also take a look why CRI-O creates the directory with the wrong bits.
