From 4083e4d76b61bc9eb40583f941412c1ea1a0285b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Walters Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2014 03:29:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] selinux: Don't attempt to load policy in initramfs if it doesn't exist Currently on at least Fedora, SELinux policy does not come in the initramfs. systemd will attempt to load *both* in the initramfs and in the real root. Now, the selinux_init_load_policy() API has a regular error return value, as well as an "enforcing" boolean. To determine enforcing state, it looks for /etc/selinux/config as well as the presence of "enforcing=" on the kernel command line. Ordinarily, neither of those exist in the initramfs, so it will return "unknown" for enforcing, and systemd will simply ignore the failure to load policy. --- src/core/selinux-setup.c | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/core/selinux-setup.c b/src/core/selinux-setup.c index 7a32ed5..9a5d6b2 100644 --- a/src/core/selinux-setup.c +++ b/src/core/selinux-setup.c @@ -58,6 +58,13 @@ int selinux_setup(bool *loaded_policy) { cb.func_log = null_log; selinux_set_callback(SELINUX_CB_LOG, cb); + /* Don't load policy in the initrd if we don't appear to have + * it.
