Even explicitly defined hooks directories may not exist under
some circumstances. It's not worth a hard-fail if we hit an
ENOENT in these cases.

obtaining containerstats requires the use of cgroups. at present,
rootless users do not have privileges to create cgroups. add an error
message that catches this for the varlink endpoint and return a proper
error.

The 'podman run --mount' flag previously allowed the 'ro' option
to be specified, but was missing the ability to set it to a bool
(as is allowed by docker). Add that. While we're at it, allow
setting 'rw' explicitly as well.

Previously, we use CreateConfig's Command to populate container
Command (which is used as CMD for Inspect and Commit).
Unfortunately, CreateConfig's Command is the container's full
command, including a prepend of Entrypoint - so we duplicate
Entrypoint for images that include it.
Maintain a separate UserCommand in CreateConfig that does not
include the entrypoint, and use that instead.

If a container is restored multiple times from an exported checkpoint
with the help of '--import --name', the restore will fail if during
'podman run' a static container IP was set with '--ip'. The user can
tell the restore process to ignore the static IP with
'--ignore-static-ip'.

This enables programs and scripts wrapping the podman command to handle
'podman rm' and 'podman rmi' failures caused by paused or running
containers or due to images having other child images or dependent
containers. These errors are common enough that it makes sense to have
a more machine readable way of detecting them than parsing the standard
error output.

As we previously removed our exit code retrieval code to stop a
memory leak, we need a new way of doing this. Fortunately, events
is able to do the job for us.
Signed-off-by: Matthew Heon <matthew.heon@pm.me>
the exit file
If the container exit code needs to be retained, it cannot be retained
in tmpfs, because libpod runs in a memcg itself so it can't leave
traces with a daemon-less design.
This wasn't a memleak detectable by kmemleak for example. The kernel
never lost track of the memory and there was no erroneous refcounting
either. The reference count dependencies however are not easy to track
because when a refcount is increased, there's no way to tell who's
still holding the reference. In this case it was a single page of
tmpfs pagecache holding a refcount that kept pinned a whole hierarchy
of dying memcg, slab kmem, cgropups, unrechable kernfs nodes and the
respective dentries and inodes. Such a problem wouldn't happen if the
exit file was stored in a regular filesystem because the pagecache
could be reclaimed in such case under memory pressure. The tmpfs page
can be swapped out, but that's not enough to release the memcg with
CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED=y.
No amount of more aggressive kernel slab shrinking could have solved
this. Not even assigning slab kmem of dying cgroups to alive cgroup
would fully solve this. The only way to free the memory of a dying
cgroup when a struct page still references it, would be to loop over
all "struct page" in the kernel to find which one is associated with
the dying cgroup which is a O(N) operation (where N is the number of
pages and can reach billions). Linking all the tmpfs pages to the
memcg would cost less during memcg offlining, but it would waste lots
of memory and CPU globally. So this can't be optimized in the kernel.
A cronjob running this command can act as workaround and will allow
all slab cache to be released, not just the single tmpfs pages.
rm -f /run/libpod/exits/*
This patch solved the memleak with a reproducer, booting with
cgroup.memory=nokmem and with selinux disabled. The reason memcg kmem
and selinux were disabled for testing of this fix, is because kmem
greatly decreases the kernel effectiveness in reusing partial slab
objects. cgroup.memory=nokmem is strongly recommended at least for
workstation usage. selinux needs to be further analyzed because it
causes further slab allocations.

1fe2965e4f (v1.4.4).
The upstream kernel commit used for testing is

In order to run Podman with VM-based runtimes unprivileged, the
network must be set up prior to the container creation. Therefore
this commit modifies Podman to run rootless containers by:
1. create a network namespace
2. pass the netns persistent mount path to the slirp4netns
to create the tap inferface
3. pass the netns path to the OCI spec, so the runtime can
enter the netns
