I'm not sure, I don't work with any of the code unfortunately.

Hi,
If inodes need to be 3-4 times greater than fd.file-max. Can you modify the current inode in the filesystem? Can you modify it on the fly? Or only in the creation of FS.

matchpathcon_filespec_destroy
matchpathcon_checkmatches(3) SELinux API documentation matchpathcon_checkmatches(3)
NAME
matchpathcon_checkmatches, matchpathcon_filespec_add, matchpathcon_filespec_destroy, matchpathcon_filespec_eval - check and report whether
any specification index has no matches with any inode. Maintenance and statistics on inode associations.
SYNOPSIS
#include <selinux/selinux.h>
void matchpathcon_checkmatches(char *str);
int matchpathcon_filespec_add(ino_t ino, int specind, const char *file);
void matchpathcon_filespec_destroy(void);
void matchpathcon_filespec_eval(void);
DESCRIPTION
matchpathcon_checkmatches checks whether any specification has no matches and reports them. The str argument is used as a prefix for any
warning messages.
matchpathcon_filespec_add maintains an association between an inode ino and a specification index specind, and checks whether a conflicting
specification is already associated with the same inode (e.g. due to multiple hard links). If so, then it uses the latter of the two speci-
fications based on their order in the file context configuration. Returns the specification index used or -1 on error.
matchpathcon_filespec_destroy destroys any inode associations that have been added, e.g. to restart for a new filesystem.
matchpathcon_filespec_eval displays statistics on the hash table usage for the inode associations.
RETURN VALUE
Returns zero on success or -1 otherwise.
