 Hi,
 
 does anything break, or is it just a spurious AVC denial? 

Hi,

I didn't look, and as I didn't enable selinux in enforcing mode due to
others issues, I do not know if it break irqbalance. Looking closely,
there is no call to getsched in the irqbalance source code.

And to be honest, I have no idea how I could measure irqbalance effects,
given I have a single processor server running debian.

I do not think that's a big deal security wise to allow it
( https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/selinux/2011-July/013978.html ), 
but I do not know if irqbalance need it to work.  Fedora do seems to have a 
different policy, and do not have the issue. 


 If no
 important functionality of irqbalance is lost, it may not be worth
 fixing this in stable, we could just forward a fix upstream and wait
 until it trickles back to debian.

Well, the less AVC it generate, the better it is for debugging of
selinux policy.
