Bug 743244

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/gnome-session-check-accelerated-helper from 'ioctl' accesses on the chr_file /dev/nvidiactl.

*****  Plugin restorecon (90.5 confidence) suggests  *************************

If you want to fix the label. 
/dev/nvidiactl default label should be xserver_misc_device_t.
Then you can run restorecon.
Do
# /sbin/restorecon -v /dev/nvidiactl

*****  Plugin device (9.50 confidence) suggests  *****************************

If you want to allow gnome-session-check-accelerated-helper to have ioctl access on the nvidiactl chr_file
Then you need to change the label on /dev/nvidiactl to a type of a similar device.
Do
# semanage fcontext -a -t SIMILAR_TYPE '/dev/nvidiactl'
# restorecon -v '/dev/nvidiactl'

*****  Plugin catchall (1.40 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that gnome-session-check-accelerated-helper should be allowed ioctl access on the nvidiactl chr_file 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:
# grep gnome-session-c /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
