Thanks!
Note, I think that we still have the SELinux issue we discussed in the
other thread:
rc = selinux_add_opt(opt, param->string, &fc->security);
if (!rc) {
param->string = NULL;
rc = 1;
}
SELinux returns 1 not the expected 0. Not sure if that got fixed or is
queued-up for -next. In any case, this here seems correct independent of
that:
