AGL Compositor not able to access /dev/xen file

Won't Fix

Description

Hello, we are planning to run AGL in XEN hypervisor, and trying to enhance the AGL compositor via XEN functionality which requires to access the device node of /dev/xen/....  But per the test, the display account of AGL-compositor is disallowed to access /dev/xen/... We understood this issue may be per design, but as we are new to AGL so do not know how to grant AGL process with the permission to access /dev/xen/...  So the issue is submitted to request the AGL compositor to allow to access the user defined path such as /dev/xen/...

We ever tried to modify weston-init and add /dev/xen into tmpfiles.conf.in file, but not work, so can you advise us how to resolve the issue? Thanks a lot

Environment

XEN Hypervisor, AGL IVI, NXP i.MX8qm

Just close as won't fix, if it's still an issue for someone, they can reopen.

We no longer have SMACK and I suppose this isn't really an issue... so what's the follow-up with this?

Should I give this a try to see if it works now? Should I just close as won't fix? Should we wait until we have SELinux enabled?

Reopening - Since this issue is already assigned and has comments, I would like to keep this one open and close as the duplicate issue.
