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 Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:irqbalance_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:irqbalance_t:s0 Target Objects Unknown [ netlink_generic_socket ] Source irqbalance Source Path irqbalance Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages SELinux Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-42.19-1.fc44.noarch Local Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-42.19-1.fc44.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 6.19.0-rc1-ea1013c15392+ #99 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Dec 18 00:20:56 +05 2025 x86_64 Alert Count 2 First Seen 2025-12-18 18:35:13 +05 Last Seen 2025-12-18 18:38:05 +05 Local ID 3a4d0b3d-62b0-4abc-8f84-7ca6a314ad9d Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1766065085.970:80): avc: denied { create } for pid=1519 comm="irqbalance" scontext=system_u:system_r:irqbalance_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:irqbalance_t:s0 tclass=netlink_generic_socket permissive=1 Hash: irqbalance,irqbalance_t,irqbalance_t,netlink_generic_socket,create Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-targeted-42.19-1.fc44.noarch Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.17.15 reason: SELinux is preventing irqbalance from 'create' accesses on the netlink_generic_socket labeled irqbalance_t. package: selinux-policy-targeted-42.19-1.fc44.noarch component: selinux-policy hashmarkername: setroubleshoot type: libreport kernel: 6.19.0-rc1-ea1013c15392+ component: selinux-policy
