[PATCH v3 04/19] fs/kernel_read_file: Remove FIRMWARE_PREALLOC_BUFFER enum

From: Kees Cook <hidden>
Date: 2020-07-24 21:38:41
Also in: linux-efi, linux-integrity, linux-kselftest, lkml, selinux, stable
Subsystem: driver core, kobjects, debugfs and sysfs, exec & binfmt api, elf, extended verification module (evm), filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), firmware loader (request_firmware), integrity measurement architecture (ima), security subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Greg Kroah-Hartman, "Rafael J. Wysocki", Danilo Krummrich, Kees Cook, Mimi Zohar, Roberto Sassu, Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Luis Chamberlain, Russ Weight, Dmitry Kasatkin, Paul Moore, James Morris, "Serge E. Hallyn", Linus Torvalds

FIRMWARE_PREALLOC_BUFFER is a "how", not a "what", and confuses the LSMs
that are interested in filtering between types of things. The "how"
should be an internal detail made uninteresting to the LSMs.

Fixes: a098ecd2fa7d ("firmware: support loading into a pre-allocated buffer")
Fixes: fd90bc559bfb ("ima: based on policy verify firmware signatures (pre-allocated buffer)")
Fixes: 4f0496d8ffa3 ("ima: based on policy warn about loading firmware (pre-allocated buffer)")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Acked-by: Scott Branden <scott.branden@broadcom.com>
Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <redacted>

To aid in backporting, this change is made before moving
kernel_read_file() to separate header/source files.
