[RFC PATCH 1/2] LSM, anon_inodes: explicitly distinguish anon inode types

Ondrej Mosnacek omosnace at redhat.com
Wed Apr 21 17:14:45 UTC 2021


Add an enum to <linux/security.h> that allows LSMs to reliably
distinguish types of anon inodes created via anon_inode_getfd_secure()
and require callers of this function to pass the type as an argument.
For the single current user of this function (userfaultfd), add the
corresponding type and pass it in its anon_inode_getfd_secure() call.

While the "name" argument can be used to distinguish different types as
well, some users of anon_inode_getfd() put some additional information
here (e.g. KVM anon inodes), so using an explicit numeric identifier is
preferred to parsing this information from strings.

The new type information will be used by SELinux in a subsequent patch.
