If you have set a compatibility property on a zfs pool, it needs read access to the configured compatibilty file like:

# ls -lZ /usr/share/zfs/compatibility.d/openzfs-2.2-linux /usr/share/zfs/compatibility.d/openzfs-2.2
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root system_u:object_r:usr_t 584 Jan 11 03:05 /usr/share/zfs/compatibility.d/openzfs-2.2
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root system_u:object_r:usr_t  11 Jan 11 03:05 /usr/share/zfs/compatibility.d/openzfs-2.2-linux -> openzfs-2.2

This fixed it for me (requires reading symlinks and mmapping regular files):

gen_require(`
        type zfs_t;
        type usr_t;
')

# for reading compatibility file
read_lnk_files_pattern(zfs_t,usr_t,usr_t)
mmap_read_files_pattern(zfs_t,usr_t,usr_t)
