[PATCH 1/5] security: allow finer granularity in permitting copy-up of security xattrs

Stefan Berger stefanb at linux.ibm.com
Tue Jan 30 21:46:16 UTC 2024


Copying up xattrs is solely based on the security xattr name. For finer
granularity add a dentry parameter to the security_inode_copy_up_xattr
hook definition, allowing decisions to be based on the xattr content as
well.
