Current SELinux policy in RHEL and Fedora doesn't allow the creation of TAP devices. A tap device is used by dpif-netdev to create internal devices. Without this patch, adding any bridge backed by the userspace datapath would fail. This doesn't mean that we can run Open vSwitch with DPDK under SELinux yet, but at least we can use the userspace datapath.

Not sure how relevant that is for OVS but that macro expands to a little more function calls than what you have below. Maybe we don't need it, if what you have just worked. --- selinux/openvswitch-custom.te | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/selinux/openvswitch-custom.te b/selinux/openvswitch-custom.te index 47ddb562c..98de89c98 100644 --- a/selinux/openvswitch-custom.te +++ b/selinux/openvswitch-custom.te @@ -5,8 +5,11 @@ require { type openvswitch_tmp_t; type ifconfig_exec_t; type hostname_exec_t; + type tun_tap_device_t; class netlink_socket { setopt getopt create connect getattr write read }; class file { write getattr read open execute execute_no_trans }; + class chr_file { ioctl open read write }; + class tun_socket { create }; } #============= openvswitch_t ============== @@ -14,3 +17,5 @@ allow openvswitch_t self:netlink_socket { setopt getopt create connect getattr w allow openvswitch_t hostname_exec_t:file { read getattr open execute execute_no_trans }; allow openvswitch_t ifconfig_exec_t:file { read getattr open execute execute_no_trans }; allow openvswitch_t openvswitch_tmp_t:file { execute execute_no_trans }; +allow openvswitch_t self:tun_socket { create }; +allow openvswitch_t tun_tap_device_t:chr_file { ioctl open read write }; -- 2.11.0 _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
