Description Jonathan Lebon 2019-10-04 15:03:40 UTC 
There is a kernel patch that was recently merged[1] that we'd really like to get into Fedora (and eventually RHEL) soon. This patch will fix multiple SELinux-related issues in Fedora CoreOS and RHEL CoreOS, as well as unblock further work on those platforms.

Unfortunately, being just recently merged after the 5.4 window, holding back these fixes and enhancements until 5.5 comes to Fedora will take much longer than we can wait for. Specifically, the stable release of Fedora CoreOS will be based on f31 (but released some time after Fedora 31 GA). Is there any way we can get this patch backported to the 5.4 and 5.3 kernels?

I can help with the backport and submit PRs to src.fp.o; but I just wanted to discuss here first.

Thanks!

Put this in F31 branch, should show up with the next build there. This will also be part of the F30 rebase which I'll see about doing this afternoon.

Comment 4 Ben Cotton 2020-11-03 15:37:46 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 31 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 31 on 2020-11-24.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '31'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 31 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
Comment 5 Ben Cotton 2020-11-24 20:24:13 UTC 
Fedora 31 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-24. Fedora 31 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
