It's a restorecond bug. restorecon acted as if watch descriptors could never be reused. They weren't on old kernels and it's possible they are reused now. Restorecon was fixed. http://marc.info/?l=selinux&m=125380417916233&w=2 a change in the kernel caused a buggy userspace program to break. I know how to put the kernel back the way it was, but I don't know if we call this a regression, you guys tell me. -Eric -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
