+Subject: [PATCH] lockfile: Keep lockfile owned by root
+
+On Fedora 28, sanlock fails to create the lockfile before dropping
+privileges, because /run/sanlock is owned by sanlock, and selinux
+disables DAC_OVERRIDE.
+
+To allow root to create the lockfile before dropping privileges
+/run/sanlock is owned by group root, and group writable.  Since sanlock
+never write to the lockfile after dropping privileges, keep the lockfile
+owned by root.
+
+Here are /run/sanlock permissions with this change:
+
+$ ls -lhdZ /run/sanlock
+drwxrwxr-x. 2 sanlock root system_u:object_r:sanlock_var_run_t:s0 80 Nov 29 23:07 /run/sanlock
+
+$ ls -lhZ /run/sanlock
+total 4.0K
+-rw-r--r--. 1 root    root    system_u:object_r:sanlock_var_run_t:s0 5 Nov 29 23:07 sanlock.pid
+srw-rw----. 1 sanlock sanlock system_u:object_r:sanlock_var_run_t:s0 0 Nov 29 23:07 sanlock.sock
