selinux and tmpfs message

[Jason Dravet]

When I boot rawhide I see the following selinux messages.  Why is tmpfs 
listed twice?

SELinux: initialized (dev dm-0, type ext3), uses xattr
-->SELinux: initialized (dev tmpfs, type tmpfs), uses transition SIDs
SELinux: initialized (dev debugfs, type debugfs), uses genfs_contexts
SELinux: initialized (dev selinuxfs, type selinuxfs), uses genfs_contexts
SELinux: initialized (dev mqueue, type mqueue), uses transition SIDs
SELinux: initialized (dev hugetlbfs, type hugetlbfs), uses genfs_contexts
SELinux: initialized (dev devpts, type devpts), uses transition SIDs
SELinux: initialized (dev eventpollfs, type eventpollfs), uses 
genfs_contexts
SELinux: initialized (dev inotifyfs, type inotifyfs), uses genfs_contexts
-->SELinux: initialized (dev tmpfs, type tmpfs), uses transition SIDs
SELinux: initialized (dev futexfs, type futexfs), uses genfs_contexts
SELinux: initialized (dev pipefs, type pipefs), uses task SIDs
SELinux: initialized (dev sockfs, type sockfs), uses task SIDs
SELinux: initialized (dev proc, type proc), uses genfs_contexts
SELinux: initialized (dev bdev, type bdev), uses genfs_contexts
SELinux: initialized (dev rootfs, type rootfs), uses genfs_contexts
SELinux: initialized (dev sysfs, type sysfs), uses genfs_contexts
SELinux: initialized (dev usbfs, type usbfs), uses genfs_contexts

Thanks,

I'd guess because it's mounted twice, but ICBW.

Yes, SELinux prints one of these messages for each such mount, and in
this case you are likely getting one for the /dev mount and one for
the /dev/shm mount.  

$ grep tmpfs /proc/mounts

You are right, the output from grep shows /dev and /dev/shm.  I thought it 
might a bug.

Thank you both for the explaination.
