[PATCH v2 -next 08/18] LSM: pass struct path to the inode fileattr hooks

[sashiko-bot at kernel.org]

> The inode_file_getattr and inode_file_setattr hooks are called from
> vfs_fileattr_get() and vfs_fileattr_set(), whose callers -- the
> FS_IOC_GETFLAGS, FS_IOC_SETFLAGS, FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and
> FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctls and the file_getattr(2) and file_setattr(2)
> syscalls -- all operate on a struct file or a struct path and had to
> derive the dentry and the idmap from it just for the fileattr helpers
> and the hooks.  Switch the helpers and the hooks, along with their
> SELinux implementations, to take a const struct path.
> 
> vfs_fileattr_get() and vfs_fileattr_set() are also called to forward
> fileattr operations to underlying inodes.  Such internal forwards are
> performed with kernel-side credentials (e.g. overlayfs uses its
> superblock creator credentials) and the user-facing operation was
> already checked by the hooks, so they must not invoke the security
> hooks a second time.  Add __vfs_fileattr_get() and __vfs_fileattr_set()
> [ ... ]
> hook-checked vfs_fileattr_get() and vfs_fileattr_set(), passing the
> struct path it already holds directly.
