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 of problem:

Currently overlayfs does not work with selinux. By default selinux is enabled and if user chooses to use overlay as graph driver, there will be issues.

Additional info:

Sally we already do this for BTRFS, you should just search the code and make the same change.

submitted https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/16025

sally, has it been merged into docker we ship in rhel? MODIFIED flag means that patch has been committed in the source tree of redhat rpm.

Or rather, an rpm build has been done and rpm is available for testing. Then we will call it MODIFIED.

Sorry for the confusion!  Dan also pointed out my misuse of 'MODIFIED'..
Now I know :)

https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/16025 merged

Fixed in docker-1.9
