RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Flavio Leitner 2016-01-28 13:53:51 UTC
Description of problem:
This is a bz to remind to update SELinux policies to allow OVS 2.5 to run without SELinux issues.

Comment 2 Aaron Conole 2016-03-21 18:11:45 UTC
Please test with SELinux enabled and report any problems in this BZ during ovs 2.5.0 testing.

Comment 3 Rick Alongi 2016-09-27 17:02:48 UTC
Marking this BZ as Verified since we make it a practice to always having SELinux set to "Enforcing" for all OVS vanilla tests (i.e. non-DPDK).  No SELinux issues have been observed using vanilla OVS.

NOTE: Per jhsiao, it is NOT possible to enable SELinux when using DPDK (this is a known issue).  It is set to "Permissive" for DPDK testing.  So this BZ verification applies only to vanilla OVS.
