[PATCH 3/5] security: Pass xattrs allocated by LSMs to the inode_init_security hook

Roberto Sassu roberto.sassu at huawei.com
Thu Apr 15 10:04:33 UTC 2021


In preparation for moving EVM to the LSM infrastructure, this patch adds
the full array of xattrs allocated by LSMs as a new parameter of the
inode_init_security hook. It will be used by EVM to calculate the HMAC on
all xattrs.

This solution has been preferred to directly replacing the xattr name,
value and len with the full array, as LSMs would have had to scan it to
find an empty slot.
