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 Kaleb KEITHLEY 2017-11-09 12:57:38 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1511486 +++

Description of problem:

nfs-ganesha is a userspace NFS server daemon. With every release of selinux-policy-targeted we find new AVCs that need to be addressed.

We had a conversation with Dan Walsh, and we agreed that, just like knfsd, ganesha.nfsd should run in an unconfined domain.

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

Not sure why nfsd_t was chosen as a replacement for ganesha_t, because nfsd_t is not an unconfined domain. SELinux denials still appear (for example BZ#1628247) and the automated TC fails in certain old test phases.
Comment 15 Kaleb KEITHLEY 2018-09-12 16:32:55 UTC 
At the time that we (i.e. nfs-ganesha team) talked to Dan Walsh (2018-09-xx) he apparently thought it was an unconfined domain. Was that not the case?
Comment 17 Milos Malik 2018-09-25 09:14:02 UTC 
Because selinux-policy in RHEL-7.6 does not define aliases for ganesha booleans, following error messages appear:

  Installing : glusterfs-ganesha-3.12.2-20.el7rhgs.x86_64                 44/44 
ValueError: Boolean ganesha_use_fusefs is not defined
ValueError: Boolean ganesha_use_fusefs is not defined

Following SELinux types were defined in RHEL-7.5 but they are NOT defined in RHEL-7.6:

# seinfo -tganesha_var_run_t -x
ERROR: could not find datum for type ganesha_var_run_t
# seinfo -tganesha_tmp_t -x
ERROR: could not find datum for type ganesha_tmp_t
#

Because our automated TC for ganesha fails in 4 of 9 phases, I would really recommend to all interested parties to reconsider the purpose of this bug. The fails indicate that ganesha will be broken in certain use cases, if the fix goes out with RHEL-7.6 GA.
Comment 18 Milos Malik 2018-09-25 09:18:52 UTC 
Hi Dan, I would like to know your opinion about this bug. My reasons for FailedQA are written in comment#14 and comment#17.
Comment 19 Lukas Vrabec 2018-10-08 11:31:07 UTC 
Thanks Milos for heads up. 

Could somebody from ganesha help with testing this? 

Thanks,
Lukas.
