Fyi - see: https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2018-May/346815.html for an explanation on the reason. I guess the POC ansible script reorders the path and that causes the system to pick up something incorrectly. That's at least Timothy's explanation. Try with that patch applied and see if it helps :) >> Aaron Conole (5): >> ovs-kmod-ctl: introduce a kernel module load script >> selinux: create a transition type for module loading >> selinux: tag the custom policy version >> selinux: introduce domain transitioned kmod helper >> rhel: selinux-policy to invoke proper label macros > >> debian/openvswitch-switch.install | 1 + >> debian/openvswitch-switch.manpages | 1 + >> rhel/openvswitch-fedora.spec.in | 12 +- >> rhel/openvswitch.spec.in | 12 +- >> selinux/.gitignore | 4 + >> selinux/automake.mk | 3 +- >> selinux/openvswitch-custom.fc.in | 1 + >> selinux/openvswitch-custom.te.in | 81 ++++++++++++- >> utilities/.gitignore | 1 + >> utilities/automake.mk | 5 + >> utilities/ovs-ctl.in | 32 +----- >> utilities/ovs-kmod-ctl.8 | 109 ++++++++++++++++++ >> utilities/ovs-kmod-ctl.in | 228 > +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ >> utilities/ovs-lib.in | 12 +- >> 14 files changed, 454 insertions(+), 48 deletions(-) >> create mode 100644 selinux/openvswitch-custom.fc.in >> create mode 100644 utilities/ovs-kmod-ctl.8 >> create mode 100644 utilities/ovs-kmod-ctl.in > >> -- >> 2.14.3 _______________________________________________ dev mailing list d...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
