From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@huawei.com> In preparation for removing security_old_inode_init_security(), switch to security_inode_init_security(). Extend the existing ocfs2_initxattrs() to take the ocfs2_security_xattr_info structure from fs_info, and populate the name/value/len triple with the first xattr provided by LSMs. Supporting multiple xattrs is not currently supported, as it requires non-trivial changes that can be done at a later time.ocfs2 already defines ocfs2_init_security_get() as a wrapper around calling either security_old_inode_init_security() or security_inode_init_security(). Based on "si" one or the other hook is called. ocfs2_initxattrs is already defined. struct ocfs2_security_xattr_info si = { .name = NULL, .enable = 1, }; The main difference between calling security_old_inode_init_security or security_inode_init_security() is whether or not security.evm is calculated and written.
Uhm, it seems unfortunately more complicated. Calling security_old_inode_init_security() allows filesystems to get the xattr, do some calculations (e.g. for reservation) and then write the xattr. The initxattrs() callback to be passed to security_inode_init_security() is meant to let filesystems provide a filesystem-specific way of writing the xattrs, just after LSMs provided them. This seems incompatible with the old behavior, as a filesystem might need to do the calculations in the middle before writing the xattrs. The initxattrs() callback, when security_old_inode_init_security() was used, is just a way of emulating the old behavior, i.e. returning the xattr to the caller. It should be possible, I guess, to handle more xattrs but if the code was designed to handle one, it would be better if the filesystem maintainers add support for it. Thanks Roberto
Perhaps it is time to remove the call to security_old_inode_init_security() in ocfs2_init_security_get(). We need to hear back from the ocfs2 community. Mark? Joel? As noted previously this change affects mknod and symlinks. Mimiquoted
As fs_info was not used before, ocfs2_initxattrs() can now handle the case of replicating the behavior of security_old_inode_init_security(), i.e. just obtaining the xattr, in addition to setting all xattrs provided by LSMs. Finally, modify the handling of the return value from ocfs2_init_security_get(). As security_inode_init_security() does not return -EOPNOTSUPP, remove this case and directly handle the error if the return value is not zero. However, the previous case of receiving -EOPNOTSUPP should be still taken into account, as security_inode_init_security() could return zero without setting xattrs and ocfs2 would consider it as if the xattr was set. Instead, if security_inode_init_security() returned zero, look at the xattr if it was set, and behave accordingly, i.e. set si->enable to zero to notify to the functions following ocfs2_init_security_get() that the xattr is not available (same as if security_old_inode_init_security() returned -EOPNOTSUPP).
