Agreed. I am waiting to see if this patch is going to work in the event 
of connection reset/time out (in situations when the connection needs to 
be re-established - with/without closing the tun device and possibly 
re-establishing the ip address, routing and all other parameters) - in 
that case the tun kernel module should already be loaded so if anything 
goes wrong I am expecting 'relablefrom' avc to pop up. If not, then all 
is well and I am applying this patch permanently.
