Block volume skipped when privileged_without_host_devices=true

[sepich]

Description of problem

I'm able to do steps mentioned in
kata-containers/runtime#1354 (comment)
to get local block volume mounted to pod as /dev/xda.
But when I enable privileged: true on the pod - then /dev/xda disappears.
I'm having privileged_without_host_devices=true on containerd side.

Expected result

Block Volume mounted to privileged Pod should not be filtered out.

Actual result

privileged=true, privileged_without_host_devices=true:

root@test:/# lsblk
NAME      MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
pmem0     259:0    0  254M  0 disk

root@test:/# ls /dev/xda
ls: cannot access '/dev/xda': No such file or directory

privileged=true, privileged_without_host_devices=false:

/dev/xda

Further information

I'm trying to get docker working in kata. I was able to create custom kernel with overlayfs support, but it is too slow on kataShared mount. So, I want to use local block volume for scratch space. In this case both privileged and block volume should be working at the same time. As kata is being explored for untrusted workload, having privileged_without_host_devices=false is not an option in this case.
Thank you.

[ariel-adam]

@snir911 is this the same issue you are hitting?

[ariel-adam]

Relevant document for the logic used with kata privileges: in https://github.com/kata-containers/documentation/blob/master/how-to/privileged.md, updated for this topic here: kata-containers/documentation#529

[sepich]

Please note that this issue is not about "gain access to mount any block device from the host".
It is about "specific BlockVolume mounted to pod happen to be privileged".
Also i've retested with v2.0.1 and there is no such issue there.

[ariel-adam]

Appreciated the details Alex.
To clarify, in what version did you hit this problem?

[sepich]

There is kata-collect-data.sh attached, it has been latest deb available at that time: 1.12.0~rc0

[snir911]

When i used privileged=true, privileged_without_host_devices=false i hit kata-containers/kata-containers#1342 , any idea why it didn't happen here?

BTW in regards to you overlay use case I'd also refer to this option

[sepich]

We use containerd, not crio.
Thank you for idea of mounting /var/lib/docker as tmpfs, unfortunately it is not an option for us.

[egernst]

Privileged isn’t part of runtime spec, nor is it something that the kata runtime has visibility on. I’m wondering if there’s an issue in containerd side where it removes ALL host devices (including the explicit one you added) when the priv w no-host-devices flag is set, instead of just the ones that were implicitly added w priv flag.

[egernst]

I think this should resolve the issue you are seeing @sepich :
containerd/cri@98f8ec4

What version of CRI/Containerd are you running? Can you please test w/ latest from release 1.4?

[sepich]

Confirming that no issue on containerd v1.4.3
