Description jcos 2019-10-08 13:52:25 UTC
Description of problem:
Happened a few minutes after enabling numad for the first time, seems like perhaps an incompatibility between the default selinux setups of numad and flatpak

I've already added a local policy exception, but I figured  it was worth reporting.
SELinux is preventing numad from using the 'signull' accesses on a process.

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

If you believe that numad should be allowed signull access on processes labeled flatpak_helper_t 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 'numad' --raw | audit2allow -M my-numad
# semodule -X 300 -i my-numad.pp

Comment 1 jcos 2019-10-08 14:01:01 UTC
I actually ended up getting several more SELinux denials due to numad several minutes later:

commit bd635ce68d153487a98e9d725a4e895346987f9f (HEAD -> rawhide, origin/rawhide, origin/HEAD)
Author: Patrik Koncity <pkoncity>

    Update numad policy to allow signull, kill, nice and trace processes
    
    Numad is user-level daemon that provides placement advice and process
    management for efficient use of CPUs and memory on systems with NUMA topology
    Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1759561
    
    Allow capability sys_nice set real-time scheduling policies for calling process,
    and set scheduling policies and priorities for arbitrary processes
    Allow capability sys_ptrace to trace arbitrary processes
    Allow capability kill to kill processes
    Allow macro domain_signull_all_domains() to send a null signal to all domains
