If its in permissive, you shouldn't get any failure that results in EPERM from 
SE Linux. But on second look, this AVC has a success=yes, so maybe not the 
smoking gun. If there was a corresponding AVC with success=no, then that 
would be notable.

AFAICT, there are 2 places where an access decision is made, audit_netlink_ok 
in kernel/audit.c. And the other place is selinux_nlmsg_lookup in 
security/selinux/nlmsgtab.c. I think you'd want to patch your kernel to 
printk its access decision results in both of those functions. That should 
tell us something about what's going on.
