The thing is that the SELinux support in OpenWRT needs this improvement in procd, otherwise it won't work at runtime as nothing will be loading the SELinux policy. Regarding the flash space, RAM and CPU overhead, I'm not sure it's that relevant: the SELinux packaging I've done makes it completely optional, so you only have an impact of flash space, RAM and CPU if you enable SELinux support. If you don't, then your OpenWRT system is exactly like it was before. > > + pkg_search_module(SELINUX REQUIRED libselinux) > > This looks like a missing dependency. Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean here. Or maybe you're saying that there is no libselinux package in OpenWRT ? That is true, and will be part of my patch series to OpenWRT adding all the packages related to OpenWRT support. > > fprintf(stderr, "Cannot load SELinux policy, but system in enforcing mode. > > Halting.\n"); > > Just a side note, halting in the context of running on the router means > flashing of factory image.

Do you have more details about entering failsafe mode ? How do you do that ?
