[PATCH 1/2] vfs,LSM: introduce the FS_HANDLES_LSM_OPTS flag

Fri Apr 9 11:12:53 UTC 2021


Add a new FS_HANDLES_LSM_OPTS filesystem flag to singal to VFS that the
filesystem does LSM option setting for the given mount on its own, so
the security_sb_set_mnt_opts() call in vfs_get_tree() can be skipped.

This allows the following simplifications:
1. Removal of explicit LSM option handling from BTRFS.

   This exists only because of the double-layer mount that BTRFS is
   doing for its subvolume support. Setting FS_BINARY_MOUNTDATA (to
   prevent VFS from eating away the LSM opts) and FS_HANDLES_LSM_OPTS
   (to prevent an extra security_sb_set_mnt_opts() call) on the outer
   layer and none of them on the lower layer allows to leave the LSM
   option handling entirely on VFS as part of the vfs_kern_mount() call.

2. Removal of the ugly FS_BINARY_MOUNTDATA special case from
   selinux_set_mnt_opts().

   Applying (1.) and also setting FS_HANDLES_LSM_OPTS on NFS fs_types
   (which needs to unavoidably do the LSM options handling on its own
   due to the SECURITY_LSM_NATIVE_LABELS flag usage) gets us to the
   state where there exactly one security_sb_set_mnt_opts() or
   security_sb_clone_mnt_opts() call for each superblock, so the rather
   hacky FS_BINARY_MOUNTDATA special case can be finally removed from
   security_sb_set_mnt_opts().

The only other filesystem that sets FS_BINARY_MOUNTDATA is coda, which
is also the only one that has binary mount data && doesn't do its own
LSM options handling. So for coda we leave FS_HANDLES_LSM_OPTS unset and
the behavior remains unchanged - with fsconfig(2) it (probably) won't
even mount and with mount(2) it still won't support LSM options (and the
security_sb_set_mnt_opts() will be always performed with empty LSM
options as before).

AFAICT, this shouldn't negatively affect the other LSMs. In fact, I
think AppArmor will now gain the ability to do its DFA matching on BTRFS
mount options, which was prevented before due to FS_BINARY_MOUNTDATA
being set on both its fs_types.
