Subject: [PATCH testsuite] tests/mac_admin: skip all tests on NFS
Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2025 13:33:20 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250624173319.23880-2-stephen.smalley.work@gmail.com> (raw)
NFS does not truly support setting / getting of undefined
contexts. While some of the tests currently pass,
they trigger kernel error messages like the ones below:
nfs_setsecurity() system_u:object_r:UNDEFINED:s0 31 security_inode_notifysecctx() -22
nfs_setsecurity() system_u:object_r:UNDEFINED:s0 31 security_inode_notifysecctx() -22
nfs_setsecurity() unconfined_u:object_r:UNDEFINED:s0 35 security_inode_notifysecctx() -22
If we wanted this to work over NFS, we would need further changes to
the kernel. For now, skip all the mac_admin tests to avoid log spam.
This is similar to handling in other test scripts like
tests/capable_file/test.
