audit.log

openQA test "support-server" is failing for Rawhide (FC27) for ppc64le arch

The reported failure message is not very helpfull
===
$systemctl restart tgtd.service
Job for tgtd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status tgtd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details
===

I do not know if the cause of the tgtd start failure is the captured avc error
as reported by grep output:
===
$grep -Hnr tgtd ./

Workaround for tgtd avc denial issue

I ran into this issue on F26 after patching and there seems to be no fix available from dnf.

So in case anyone else wants this resolved immediately here is how I did it, with the help of grift in #fedora irc channel on freenode network.

1. Download the file tgtd_bug1482382.cil
2. Run sudo semodule -i tgtd_bug1482382.cil
3. Restart tgtd service
