Description Mikhail 2025-12-18 13:41:43 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing irqbalance from 'create' accesses on the netlink_generic_socket labeled irqbalance_t.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that irqbalance should be allowed create access on netlink_generic_socket labeled irqbalance_t by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'irqbalance' --raw | audit2allow -M my-irqbalance
# semodule -X 300 -i my-irqbalance.pp
