Comment 1 Ales Ledvinka 2012-08-06 16:04:29 UTC
host - f17 - permissive
guest level 1 - f18 - permissive (running the testsuite, libvirtd, dnsmasq and showing the suspicious usage message
guest level 2 - f17 - permissive (most likely not related and not running, the one being run by the tests nested inside the vm.)

Comment 2 Dave Jones 2012-08-06 16:44:15 UTC
annoying. I've been reporting this for over a year upstream. I'll push it again.

Comment 3 Josh Boyer 2012-08-10 14:05:13 UTC
Eric, I'm assuming you're going to get Dave's patch into the 3.6 kernel?

Comment 4 Josh Boyer 2012-08-21 17:18:55 UTC
I'm sure Eric won't let the ball drop for a third time.  I have faith in him.

In the meantime, I've added the patch to F18/rawhide.
