xattr handlers: Simplify list operation

2015-12-14T00:46:12+00:00

Change the list operation to only return whether or not an attribute
should be listed.  Copying the attribute names into the buffer is moved
to the callers.

Since the result only depends on the dentry and not on the attribute
name, we do not pass the attribute name to list operations.

vfs: Distinguish between full xattr names and proper prefixes

2015-12-07T02:33:52+00:00

Add an additional "name" field to struct xattr_handler.  When the name
is set, the handler matches attributes with exactly that name.  When the
prefix is set instead, the handler matches attributes with the given
prefix and with a non-empty suffix.

This patch should avoid bugs like the one fixed in commit c361016a in
the future.

xattr handlers: Pass handler to operations instead of flags

2015-11-14T01:34:32+00:00

The xattr_handler operations are currently all passed a file system
specific flags value which the operations can use to disambiguate between
different handlers; some file systems use that to distinguish the xattr
namespace, for example.  In some oprations, it would be useful to also have
access to the handler prefix.  To allow that, pass a pointer to the handler
to operations instead of the flags value alone.

fs: Mark function as static in ext2/xattr_security.c

2014-03-03T10:30:59+00:00

Mark function as static in ext2/xattr_security.c because it is not
used outside this file.

This also elimiantes the following warning in ext2/xattr_security.c:
fs/ext2/xattr_security.c:45:5: warning: no previous prototype for ‘ext2_initxattrs’ [-Wmissing-prototypes]

ext2/3/4: delete unneeded includes of module.h

2012-01-09T12:52:10+00:00

Delete any instances of include module.h that were not strictly
required.  In the case of ext2, the declaration of MODULE_LICENSE
etc. were in inode.c but the module_init/exit were in super.c, so
relocate the MODULE_LICENCE/AUTHOR block to super.c which makes it
consistent with ext3 and ext4 at the same time.

security: new security_inode_init_security API adds function callback

2011-07-18T16:29:38+00:00

This patch changes the security_inode_init_security API by adding a
filesystem specific callback to write security extended attributes.
This change is in preparation for supporting the initialization of
multiple LSM xattrs and the EVM xattr.  Initially the callback function
walks an array of xattrs, writing each xattr separately, but could be
optimized to write multiple xattrs at once.

For existing security_inode_init_security() calls, which have not yet
been converted to use the new callback function, such as those in
reiserfs and ocfs2, this patch defines security_old_inode_init_security().

fs/vfs/security: pass last path component to LSM on inode creation

2011-02-01T16:12:29+00:00

SELinux would like to implement a new labeling behavior of newly created
inodes.  We currently label new inodes based on the parent and the creating
process.  This new behavior would also take into account the name of the
new object when deciding the new label.  This is not the (supposed) full path,
just the last component of the path.

This is very useful because creating /etc/shadow is different than creating
/etc/passwd but the kernel hooks are unable to differentiate these
operations.  We currently require that userspace realize it is doing some
difficult operation like that and than userspace jumps through SELinux hoops
to get things set up correctly.  This patch does not implement new
behavior, that is obviously contained in a seperate SELinux patch, but it
does pass the needed name down to the correct LSM hook.  If no such name
exists it is fine to pass NULL.
