I now have another issue. My binary fails to mmap a file within lkvm sandbox. The same binary works fine on host and in qemu. I've added strace into sandbox script, and here is the output:
[pid 837] openat(AT_FDCWD, "syzkaller-shm048878722", O_RDWR|O_CLOEXEC) = 5 [pid 837] mmap(NULL, 1048576, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 5, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) I don't see anything that can potentially cause EINVAL here. Is it possible that lkvm somehow affects kernel behavior here? I run lkvm as: $ taskset 1 /kvmtool/lkvm sandbox --disk syz-0 --mem=2048 --cpus=2 --kernel /arch/x86/boot/bzImage --network mode=user --sandbox /workdir/kvm/syz-0.sh On Mon, Oct 19, 2015 at 4:20 PM, Sasha Levin <sasha.le...@oracle.com> wrote: > On 10/19/2015 05:28 AM, Dmitry Vyukov wrote: >> On Mon, Oct 19, 2015 at 11:22 AM, Andre Przywara <andre.przyw...@arm.com> >> wrote: >>> Hi Dmitry, >>> >>> On 19/10/15 10:05, Dmitry Vyukov wrote: >>>> On Fri, Oct 16, 2015 at 7:25 PM, Sasha Levin <sasha.le...@oracle.com> >>>> wrote: >>>>> On 10/15/2015 04:20 PM, Dmitry Vyukov wrote: >>>>>> Hello, >>>>>> >>>>>> I am trying to run a program in lkvm sandbox so that it communicates >>>>>> with a program on host.
