1. Explain what the PR does
Fixes #5234.
This change makes ContainerPathResolver.GetHostAbsPath handle expected /proc//root access
failures more gracefully in the procfs fallback path.
Today, Tracee already skips stale or inaccessible cached PIDs when resolving a mount namespace root.
The gap was the fallback path: after GetAnyProcessInNS("mnt", mountNS) returns a PID, access to /
proc//root could still legitimately fail with:
Those cases are expected during event processing:
This PR changes that behavior so those expected failures are returned as ErrContainerFSUnreachable
instead of being treated as unexpected hard errors. Unexpected filesystem errors are still preserved
and returned.
The patch also preserves the underlying fs error chain in getProcessFSRoot, which is required for co
rrect errors.Is(..., fs.ErrPermission/fs.ErrNotExist) handling, and adds focused unit tests for:
"Replace me with
make check-proutput"2. Explain how to test it
Run the focused tests:
go test ./pkg/datastores/container -run 'TestPathResolver_(GetHostAbsPath_ExpectedProcFSRootErrors|
GetHostAbsPath_UnexpectedProcFSRootError)' -count=1
What to verify:
If you want to exercise the runtime path, run Tracee with exec hash enrichment enabled and trigger
short-lived container processes. The important behavior is that transient /proc//root permission
denied / not found failures in container path resolution are treated as expected unreachable-
container cases rather than surfacing as hard resolver errors.
