Fixed In Version: kernel-2.6.32-131.5.1.el6 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
When using certain SELinux policies, such as the MLS policy, it was not possible to properly mount the cgroupfs file system due to the way security checks were applied to the new cgroupfs inodes during the mount operation. With this update, the security checks applied during the mount operation have been changed so that they always succeed, and the cgroupfs file system can now be successfully mounted and used with the MLS SELinux policy. This issue did not affect systems which used the default targeted policy.
