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:

(originally reported on the CentOS bug tracker and someone suggested that I should report here instead)

/sys/fs/cgroup is currently assigned the incorrect SELinux label of

system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0

but restorecon reports that it should be

system_u:object_r:cgroup_t:s0

restorecon is unable to fix the issue as it returns an error: Read-only file system


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

CentOS 7.2.1511

selinux-policy 3.13.1 (release 60.el7_2.3, Based off of reference policy: Checked out revision  2.20091117)


How reproducible:

always


Steps to Reproduce:

1. run ls -aZ /sys/fs/cgroup to verify directory has label of system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0

2. run sudo restorecon -v /sys/fs/cgroup to correct the label


Actual results:

You will see the following error message:

restorecon set context /sys/fs/cgroup->system_u:object_r:cgroup_t:s0 failed:'Read-only file system'


Expected results:

restorecon should have have corrected the label of /sys/fs/cgroup to system_u:object_r:cgroup_t


Additional info:

You can confirm the correct label here:

https://github.com/TresysTechnology/refpolicy/blob/778dfaf776800887d1f9c320a7ac6199139b694b/policy/modules/kernel/filesystem.fc#L14 [^]

I cannot remember. But I don't think so.

This should be fixed in systemd code. 

Michal, 
Could you add labeling for /sys/fs/cgroup dir cgroup_t ? 

Thanks.
