This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1839819 I've submitted a kernel patch upstream[1] that I'd like to consider for backporting to f32 (i.e. kernel-5.6). It's not yet merged upstream because it didn't make the merge window. I am filing this issue now so that we can prepare for backporting it when it is merged. There is work underway to also have it backported to RHEL. This patch is in essence similar to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1758597, but for *reading* SELinux labels rather than writing. Together these patches will unblock the ability for FCOS to reprovision the rootfs. Thanks! Patch: https://lore.kernel.org/selinux/20200528143938.209364-1-jlebon@redhat.com/ Ack from upstream: https://lore.kernel.org/selinux/CAHC9VhRy6hYVYTgxDxek+2Xv6tDbJy4GOGC3h2m5-VYDLG2iSA@mail.gmail.com/
This was merged upstream now: https://lore.kernel.org/selinux/CAHC9VhQs+PVbxMNh9s78yO_bGk_Feii4x=dVxZUcK=OoqP6sUw@mail.gmail.com/ Can we start the backport process?
Any way someone could take a look at this? The RHEL 8.3 version of this bug is moving forward, but we'd really like to do things properly and leverage this in Fedora CoreOS first before adding it to RHCOS. Happy to help, though not sure on what the procedure is here. I can submit a dist-git PR, but it seems like it's not used much overall? (Last merged PR was 7 months ago.)

I've pushed this to f31/f32 kernel builds so it will be in the next Fedora kernel, probably 5.7.9
Also a MR to ensure it's in 5.8 too and doesn't get lost on rebase: https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/507
This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '32'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 32 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
This was done.
