Danilo,

Has there any change been made recently in qemu or libvirt that requires access to /dev/mapper/control?

Are you aware of such change?

qemu-pr-helper is using this device.

Please check the bug is really fixed or an another issue.

There is a difference:
 * comment#0 shows an SELinux denial which contains svirt_tcg_t in the source context
 * comment#9 shows an SELinux denial which contains svirt_t in the source context
