This is pretty much all my understanding on this issue is from this link:

Per sds:
https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/145034/

"CIL also deletes unused attributes from the kernel policy, which is a problem for the Android neverallow checking.  It considers an attribute that is only referenced by a neverallow rule to be unused since neverallows are not included in the kernel policy, so this drops data_file_type from the kernel policy.  But we then would lose checking of the various neverallows on data_file_type by CTS." - sds

Looking through the policy in file.te:

file.te:151:type app_data_file, file_type, data_file_type;
file.te:153:type system_app_data_file, file_type, data_file_type, mlstrustedobject;
file.te:169:type asec_apk_file, file_type, data_file_type, mlstrustedobject;
file.te:171:type asec_public_file, file_type, data_file_type;
file.te:173:type asec_image_file, file_type, data_file_type;
file.te:175:type backup_data_file, file_type, data_file_type, mlstrustedobject;

Data file type does have type associations, but it does NOT have allow rules.

So when this gets generated to cil, how is indicated in cil intermediary not
to discard that data_file_type attribute?
