[RFC PATCH 2/2] security, nfs: Provide a hook for fs_context security initialisation

David Howells dhowells at redhat.com
Wed Dec 8 18:25:15 UTC 2021


Provide a security hook through which an LSM can initialise its bit of the
fs_context struct set up during mount.  This provides a way to fix the
problem of an NFS automount not getting to share superblocks because the
security label from its parent doesn't propagate to the automount request.

Implement this hook for SELinux so that it copies the security labels from
the reference dentry (the mountpoint) into the fs_context LSM parameter
block.

Note that this may also be required for Smack.

Without this, fscache may fail to correctly bind the cache to the
superblock because it sees multiple superblocks with the same key when it
should only see one.

I think this behaviour is caused by the patch that added the
sb_mnt_opts_compat hook as this checks to see if the parameters match.

Fixes: 69c4a42d72eb ("lsm,selinux: add new hook to compare new mount to an existing mount")
