This fix is committed, but not released. so all supporting version are affected. [1] - man 5 proc -------------------------------------------------------------------------- /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max (since Linux 2.5.34) This file specifies the value at which PIDs wrap around (i.e., the value in this file is one greater than the maximum PID). PIDs greater than this value are not allocated; thus, the value in this file also acts as a system-wide limit on the total number of processes and threads. The default value for this file, 32768, results in the same range of PIDs as on ear‐lier kernels. On 32-bit platforms, 32768 is the maximum value for pid_max. On 64-bit systems, pid_max can be set to any value up to 2^22 (PID_MAX_LIMIT, approximately 4 million). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Test Case] 1. making pid over 6 digits #!/bin/bash for i in {1..1000000} do touch t done 2. snap install --dangerous core_16-2.29.4.2_amd64.snap ( snap core 16-2.30 avoids using /proc/PID/cmdline, so need to use older version 3. you can see DENIED msgs in syslog 4. change /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/kernelvars 5. service apparmor restart 6. service snapd restart 7. DENIED is gone This is one way, can't reproduce this issue again even if you change back to original kernelvars, and restart snapd OR instead of Seyeong's touch approach, things can be manually change to 7 digits range via sysctl as long as the values are below approximately 4 millions : Example: $ sysctl -w kernel.pid_max=3000000 $ sysctl -w kernel.ns_last_pid=1000000 [Regression] * This is a minor/trivial fix which changes the pid regex only, allowing 7 digits PID instead of only 6 digits PID, we don't think there is any potential regression. * If a regression arise, which we highly doubt, one can quickly revert the change manually and restart the service by modifying "/etc/apparmor.d/tunables/kernelvars" file to its original state (before this SRU).

This Ubuntu 17.04 system has: kernel.pid_max = 4194303 And is showing type=1400 audit(1505588857.828:792): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="libvirt-55e9e12c-e6dc-4f56-a547-8514cf7d9bf3" name="/proc/2168180/task/2769256/comm" pid=2168180 comm="qemu-system-x86" requested_mask="wr" denied_mask="wr" fsuid=111 ouid=111 Which should be matched by @{PROC}/sys/vm/overcommit_memory r, in /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/libvirt-qemu I'm seeing similar failures on 16.04 (2.10.95-0ubuntu2.7), 17.04 (2.11.0-2ubuntu4) and 17.10 (2.11.0-2ubuntu17) I am aware this is a non-default configuration, but I think this should work.
