Description Michael Hampton 2016-12-07 02:12:01 UTC
Description of problem:
Still an issue in latest selinux-policy 3.13.1-225.

Reproduced with:

dnf -y install ksm
systemctl start ksmtuned
SELinux is preventing ksmtuned from 'write' accesses on the directory ksm.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that ksmtuned should be allowed write access on the ksm directory by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'ksmtuned' --raw | audit2allow -M my-ksmtuned
# semodule -X 300 -i my-ksmtuned.pp
