Just installed 7.2, and I’m seeing this – is this a bug in the policy?

**************************
SELinux is preventing systemd-readahe from add_name access on the directory .readahead.new.

***** Plugin catchall_labels (83.8 confidence) suggests
*******************

If you want to allow systemd-readahe to have add_name access on the
.readahead.new directory Then you need to change the label on .readahead.new Do
# semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE ‘.readahead.new’
where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: device_t, init_var_run_t, readahead_var_lib_t, readahead_var_run_t, root_t, var_run_t. Then execute:
restorecon -v ‘.readahead.new’

***** Plugin catchall (17.1 confidence) suggests
**************************

If you believe that systemd-readahe should be allowed add_name access on the .readahead.new directory by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing:
# grep systemd-readahe /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
