I want to use SELinux in system container and only concern the function in the container.
this system container run in vm and every vm has only one system container.

How do I use now?
docker run ... system-contaier /sbin/init
after init is running ,the following service is also running:

#this is the part of service file which will run in container after starting the container.
..
semodule -R     #use the policy in container.
restorecon /     #if needed
..

this method seem to work if host os and the docker images use the same content for rootfs, but if host use
redhat7 and docker images use centos7, it will deny many normal operations , and this let some host service not work.

If SELinux is permissive in host and enforcing in container ,it will resolve my problem. Unfortunately,
there is no namespace for SELinux.
The LSM infrastructure is essentially a set of lists.
These lists are rooted globally, but there's no reason*
they couldn't be rooted in a namespace. That would give
each namespace the option of using whatever security
scheme was deemed appropriate. There are a number of
issues, such as namespacing policy, that would have to
be addressed, but the mechanism could work fine. I would
look at patches.

  claims about such a system. I would not expect that
  minor issue to slow demand or deployment any more
  than it has in the past.
Isolate SELinux is difficult and it has a lot of work to do, but is easier to isolate selinux_enforcing.

What do you think ?

Think you very much.
