[PATCH v8 4/5] bpf: Only enable BPF LSM hooks when an LSM program is attached

KP Singh kpsingh at kernel.org
Fri Nov 10 22:20:36 UTC 2023


BPF LSM hooks have side-effects (even when a default value is returned),
as some hooks end up behaving differently due to the very presence of
the hook.

The static keys guarding the BPF LSM hooks are disabled by default and
enabled only when a BPF program is attached implementing the hook
logic. This avoids the issue of the side-effects and also the minor
overhead associated with the empty callback.
