Subject: [PATCH] selinux_restorecon: Do not exit on directory cycles
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 10:55:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <amHW-fFHM3pw-g3y@suse.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1553 bytes --]

All other failures are handled gracefully. Directory cycles can e.g.
happen on BTRFS filesystems with subvolumes. Skip them and continue
instead of exiting
