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.

Remove references to init_watch_path_type attribute
The original idea of using the init_watch_path_type attribute for
allowing systemd watch particular directories has never been brought
to life, so deprecating the init_watch_dir() interface and removing
all references to init_watch_path_type.

Remove all redundant watch permissions for systemd
Since systemd was allowed watch permissions for any directory,
file, or lnk_file in the non_security_file_type attribute,
individual interface calls are now redundant.

Allow systemd watch non_security_file_type dirs, files, lnk_files
In the systemd path unit files, any path can be used for watching.
In this commit the watch permission is allowed for any directory,
file, or lnk_file in the non_security_file_type attribute.
The files_watch_non_security_files() and
files_watch_non_security_lnk_files() interfaces were added.
