Description Alan Pevec 2017-10-10 00:32:57 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1498797 +++

Description of problem:

openvswitch-2.8 fails to start with SELinux enforcing

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
  selinux-policy-3.13.1-283.5.fc27.noarch
  openvswitch-2.8.1-1.fc27.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:

# dnf install https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/openvswitch/2.8.1/1.fc27/x86_64/openvswitch-2.8.1-1.fc27.x86_64.rpm
# systemctl start ovsdb-server


Actual results:

ovsdb-server fails to start when SELinux is enforcing, on the first denied AVC.
Full list of AVCs w/ SELinux permissive is below [*]
NB this is just service start, there might be more in actual operation!
