[RFC] Changes to the LSM file-related hooks for 2.5.58

From: Stephen D. Smalley (sdsat_private)
Date: Tue Jan 14 2003 - 11:08:16 PST

  • Next message: Stephen D. Smalley: "[RFC][PATCH] Restore LSM hook calls to setpriority and setpgid"

    This patch contains several changes to the LSM file-related hooks for
    2.5.58, split out from the lsm-2.5 BitKeeper tree.  This patch can be
    further split into a separate patch per change if desired.  Logically,
    the changes are:
    
    1) Add a security_sb_kern_mount hook call to the do_kern_mount
    function.  This hook enables initialization of the superblock security
    information of all superblock objects.  Placing a hook in
    do_kern_mount was originally suggested by Al Viro.  This hook is used
    by SELinux to setup the superblock security state and eliminated the
    need for the superblock_precondition function.
    
    2) Remove the security_inode_post_lookup hook entirely and add a
    security_d_instantiate hook call to the d_instantiate function and the
    d_splice_alias function.  The inode_post_lookup hook was subject to
    races since the inode is already accessible through the dcache before
    it is called, didn't handle filesystems that directly populate the
    dcache, and wasn't always called in the desired context (e.g. for
    pipe, shmem, and devpts inodes).  The d_instantiate hook enables
    initialization of the inode security information.  This hook is used
    by SELinux and by DTE to setup the inode security state, and
    eliminated the need for the inode_precondition function in SELinux.
    
    3) Add a security_file_alloc call to init_private_file and create a
    release_private_file function to encapsulate release of private file
    structures.  These changes ensure that security structures for private
    files will be allocated and freed appropriately.
    
    If anyone has any objections to these changes, please let me know.
