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.

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
f16fea666898dbdd7812ce94068c76da3e3fcf1e (v5.2-rc6).

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

...to work for specific edge cases with a simpler solution.
Re-reads hooks directories after any changes are detected by the watchers.
Added monitoring test for adding a different invalid hook to primary directory.
Some issues with prior code:
- ReadDir would stop when it encounters an invalid hook, rather than registering an error but continuing to read the valid hook.
- Wouldn’t account for Rename and Chmod events.
- After doing a mv of the hooks file instead of rm, it would still think the hooks file is in the directory, but it has been moved to another location.
- If a hook file was renamed, it would register the renamed file as a separate hook and not delete the original, so it would then execute the hook twice - once for the renamed file, and once for the original name which it did not delete.

When running in a new cgroup namespace, the current cgroup appears to

cgroups outside of its own subtree.
By default it uses --cgroup=host to keep the previous behavior.
To create a new namespace, --cgroup=private must be provided.

When we first began writing Podman, we ran into a major issue
when implementing Inspect. Libpod deliberately does not tie its
internal data structures to Docker, and stores most information
about containers encoded within the OCI spec. However, Podman
must present a CLI compatible with Docker, which means it must
expose all the information in 'docker inspect' - most of which is
not contained in the OCI spec or libpod's Config struct.
Our solution at the time was the create artifact. We JSON'd the
complete CreateConfig (a parsed form of the CLI arguments to
'podman run') and stored it with the container, restoring it when
we needed to run commands that required the extra info.
Over the past month, I've been looking more at Inspect, and
refactored large portions of it into Libpod - generating them
from what we know about the OCI config and libpod's (now much
expanded, versus previously) container configuration. This path
comes close to completing the process, moving the last part of
inspect into libpod and removing the need for the create
artifact.
This improves libpod's compatability with non-Podman containers.
We no longer require an arbitrarily-formatted JSON blob to be
present to run inspect.
