Hm... seems that there was some massive overhaul in the VFS code right at the wrong moment... There are new hooks for mounting now and theThe mount changes have been in linux-next since before the last release ...quoted
code that our commit changes is now here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git/tree/security/selinux/hooks.c?h=for-next#n3131 It seems that the logic is still the same, just now our patch (or the VFS one) needs to be updated to change the above line as such (untested pseudo-patch): - if (fc->purpose == FS_CONTEXT_FOR_KERNEL_MOUNT) + if (fc->purpose == (FS_CONTEXT_FOR_KERNEL_MOUNT|FS_CONTEXT_FOR_SUBMOUNT))OK, so from tomorrow I will use that merge resolution. Someone needs to remember to tell Linus about this when the latter of the vfs and selinux trees reach him.I will, or at least I'll do my best to remember; since we only have a few more week until the merge window I like my odds. FWIW, I typically do a test merge on top of Linus' tree before sending the SELinux PR just to verify that everything is relatively clean and there are no surprises. Ondrej, please work with David Howells to ensure that submounts are handled correctly in his mount rework.
OK, I will verify that the SELinux submount fix rebased on top of vfs/work.mount in the way I suggested above passes the same testing (seliinux-testsuite + NFS crossmnt reproducer). I am now building two kernels (vfs/work.mount with and without the fix) to test. Let me know if there is anything more to do.
