[PATCH v3 3/6] security: Pass xattrs allocated by LSMs to the inode_init_security hook

Roberto Sassu roberto.sassu at huawei.com
Tue Apr 27 11:37:29 UTC 2021


In preparation for moving EVM to the LSM infrastructure, this patch
replaces the name, value, len triple with the xattr array pointer provided
by security_inode_init_security(), and the base slot in the xattr array
where LSMs can write xattrs.

This patch also introduces the new helper lsm_find_xattr_slot(), to help
LSMs find available slots in the xattr array (with a subsequent patch it
will be possible to reserve more than one slot). The helper takes three
arguments: the xattr array, the pointer of the base slot, whose value is
incremented each time the helper is called, and the end slot so that the
helper does not return a slot outside the array.

Finally, this patch modifies also SELinux and Smack to use the new helper.
