[PATCH v7 07/16] LSM: Correct handling of ENOSYS in inode_setxattr

Casey Schaufler casey at schaufler-ca.com
Wed Aug 7 22:42:36 UTC 2019


The usual "bail on fail" behavior of LSM hooks doesn't
work for security_inode_setxattr(). Modules are allowed
to return -ENOSYS if the attribute specifed isn't one
they manage. Fix the code to accomodate this unusal case.
This requires changes to the hooks in SELinux and Smack.
