E.g.: $ matchpathcon /run/lock/subsys /dev/mqueue /run/lock/subsys <> /dev/mqueue <> We still need to be able to create them. In this case selabel_lookup_raw() returns ENOENT. We should then skip setfscreatecon(), but still return success. It was broken since c34255bdb2 ("label: unify code to make directories, symlinks"). --- diff --git a/src/shared/selinux-util.c b/src/shared/selinux-util.c index 1eddd17d2..6bd3bf1c8 100644 --- a/src/shared/selinux-util.c +++ b/src/shared/selinux-util.c @@ -332,9 +332,13 @@ int mac_selinux_create_file_prepare(const char *path, mode_t mode) { r = selabel_lookup_raw(label_hnd, &filecon, newpath, mode); } - if (r < 0 && errno != ENOENT) + /* No context specified by the policy?
