So, then it sounds like the test is not running properly and not
really testing what it intends to test (which I guess is consistent
with the fact that it triggered that BUG_ON -- the transaction is
malformed and failing early). It doesn't look like there is a
successful transaction that should have failed due to selinux policy
-- it looks like there is an invalid transaction that probably fails
earlier and doesn't return 103 (it probably returns 8 -- it would be
useful if the test script displayed the exit value that was detected
as a failure).

I don't think there is much I can do on this now given the apparent
flakiness, but I'm happy to help when there is a stable issue. I'll
look a little more at the test code to see if I can spot what is wrong
with the transaction.

Can I add a "Tested-by: Paul Moore <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>" on my patch
submission to fix the BUG_ON (the exact patch you tested) ?
