SELinux errors: invalid context & inode_doinit_with_dentry: context_to_sid() returned 22

[Vladimir G. Ivanovic]

I posted this message to the fedora-list mailing list, but I haven't
as of yet gotten any answer. Could someone here shed some light on the
errors I'm seeing?

Thanks.

   Subject: SELinux errors

   I'm getting lots of errors like:

   /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts:  line 1851 has invalid context
system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t
   /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.homedirs:  line 14 has invalid
context user_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t

   when I run "rpm -V selinux-policy-targeted". (As far as I can tell,
   every non-null, non-comment line in /etc/..../files/* generates an
   error.) 

   In my syslog I have thousands of errors like:

   Oct 26 00:21:16 bach kernel: inode_doinit_with_dentry: 
context_to_sid(system_u:object_r:policy_src_t:s0) returned 22 for dev=sda4 ino=1145588
   Oct 26 00:21:16 bach kernel: inode_doinit_with_dentry: 
context_to_sid(system_u:object_r:policy_src_t:s0) returned 22 for dev=sda4 ino=266929

   which I assume are related.

   I've tried reinstalling the RPMs selinux-policy-targeted and
   selinux-policy-targeted-sources, and then booting with selinux=0,
   running "fixfiles relabel" and then rebooting normally. No change.

   I've tried googling, but I didn't find anything. Any advice (other
   than turning SELinux off)?

   Thanks.
