SELinux Issue - git status fatal: Out of memory? mmap failed: Permission denied
I have Centos 7.9 server running with Apache and Git, however if I do a
[root@a]# git status
fatal: Out of memory? mmap failed: Permission denied
But if Disable or Permissive the SE-Linux via below commands it start working fine.
setenforce Permissive
Any idea on how to fix this issue permanently with SELinux enabled?

The problem is this file you're mapping:
/www/site/.git/index
This file has the type httpd_t
however that isn't actually a legitimate file type but is a process (or domain type as its known) instead.
You should probably set the context of /www
as being httpd_sys_content_t
or if you want to allow the webserver to write to it httpd_sys_content_rw_t
.
If I had to guess, I'm going to assume you did a chcon -t httpd_t
on /www
in error.
The best approach to fix this properly will be to reset and restore the file contexts:
# semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t '/www(/.*)?'
# restorecon -rv /www
This should set the correct context and prevent future context mishaps.
Then test the git status
again to check it worked.
