Title:
  include of dir fails when the number of files in the dir approaches or
  exceeds the processes fd limit

Status in AppArmor Linux application security framework:
  Confirmed
Status in “apparmor” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The apparmor parser handles directory includes in an odd way, where
  each file in the directory is opened and the pushed as a flex buffer
  state before any files in the directory are actually processed. The
  flex buffers and associated fds are then processed one by one and the
  <eof> handling pops the buffer (and closes the fd) to get to the next
  file to process.

  This means that if a directory contains a lot of files the include
  could fail as the parser will run out of available fds.
