There was a problem hiding this comment.
The situation is somewhat more complex than described here. See SELinuxProject/selinux-kernel#2 for discussion of safety and use of genfscon. The kernel mechanism itself does not limit use of genfscon to only these cases; one can for example use it to label an initramfs-based rootfs, or a squashfs or even technically ext4 (but the latter wouldn't be safe).

Partial paths can be used generally for virtual kernel filesystems, e.g. cgroup2, securityfs, selinuxfs, and not just for the proc filesystem. The genfscon statement supports an optional filetype specifier. Signed-off-by: Christian Göttsche <[email protected]>
