Was RAWIP on purpose here?
Nope, a mistake on my part that I hadn't caught yet.  Thanks.

IIUC it is possible for multiple processes to attach to the same
tun device.  Will it get confusing/incorrect to have each attach
potentially (if tasks have different sids) relabel?
I may be reading the code wrong, but in drivers/net/tun.c:tun_attach() the 
code checks to see if the TUN device is already in use and if it is then the 
attach fails with -EBUSY (check where the tun_device->tfile is examined).  I 
Ah yes, you're right - I saw the check for (ifr->ifr_flags & IFF_TUN_EXCL) in
the attach path in tun_set_iff, and missed this one.
believe this should ensure that only one process at a time has access to the 
TUN device so we shouldn't have to worry about a TUN socket getting relabeled 
while it is currently in use.  As far as persistent TUN devices getting 
relabeled when a new process attaches to them, that is what we are trying to 
accomplish here so that the network traffic being sent via the TUN device is 
labeled according to the currently attached process; this is consistent with 
how SELinux currently labels locally generated outbound traffic - outbound 
packets inherit their security label from the sending process via the 
originating socket/sock.
Ok, thanks.  To my untrained eye the class addition looks right too, so
with the trivial change:
