Description Subhendu Ghosh 2016-01-12 19:24:07 UTC 
The RHEL 7.2 recommend configuration is disable SELinux for the Docker daemon. Need to remove this restriction for Docker.
Comment 1 Mike McGrath 2016-01-14 13:47:34 UTC 
I know we have customers looking to use overlayfs and having to disable SELinux makes for a bad security story for us.

Comment 7 Miklos Szeredi 2016-06-30 18:18:14 UTC 
This won't make it to 7.3 as patches are not ready yet.

However things are progressing nicely and the feature should be ready for upstream kernel 4.8 or 4.9.
