comments:

sssd_read_public_files(iotop_t) needs to be wrapped in
optional_policy(`') since the sssd policy module, and functionality is
optional. we dont want this module to depends on the sssd module

You can remove the iotop_role(): its pretty useless.

you will probably want to allow the iotop_t domain dac_override , since
it will probably often be run from a unpriv user home directory rather
than /root

i am unclear as to why "files_read_etc_files(iotop_t)"  is needed. does
it read /etc/nsswitch.conf?

allow iotop_t self:netlink_route_socket create_socket_perms;
allow iotop_t self:netlink_socket create_socket_perms; <-- duplicate
allow iotop_t self:netlink_socket rw_socket_perms; <-- duplicate
allow iotop_t self:unix_dgram_socket rw_socket_perms;

i would probably used this instead:

allow iotop_t self:netlink_route_socket r_netlink_socket_perms;
allow iotop_t self:netlink_socket create_socket_perms;
allow iotop_t self:unix_dgram_socket create_socket_perms;
