Hi,

When restoring files from backup, we do use an incorrect order of

Subject: [PATCH] ipatests: Fix incorrect order of operations when restoring
  backup

When restoring files from backup, we do use an incorrect order of
operations - we first restore SELinux context and then copy the
files from backup, when we need to do the exact opposite.

ACK -- having the files in place is definitely useful if we then want
to find them there.

However: since this is about restoring a backup, can't the backup
contain the extended attributes, so that the SELinux context gets
restored to the original state (which could be different from what
the restorecon will give you)?

Well, I guess you're the Beaker authority here. Is that necessary when restoring? The tests expect a "sane" state, and they return to that; using a somehow customized machine to test on is a bad idea anyway.
