[PATCH]Introduce generalized hooks for getting and setting inode secctx.

[David P. Quigley]

This patch set does two things. First it factors the section of vfs_setxattr
that does the real work into a helper function. This allows LSMs the ability 
to set the xattrs they need without hitting the permission check inside
vfs_setxattr each time. Second it introduces three new hooks
inode_{get,set}secctx, and inode_notifysecctx.

The first hook retreives all security information the LSM feels is relavent in
the form of a security context. The second hook given this context can sets
both the in-core and on-disk store for the particular inode. The third hook is
used to notify the in-core inode of a change to it's security state.

This is the fourth revision of this patch set which takes into account
concerns by Casey Schaufler, and Christop Hellwig.

[PATCH 1/2] VFS: Factor out part of vfs_setxattr so it can be called from the SELinux hook for inode_setsecctx.

[David P. Quigley]

This factors out the part of the vfs_setxattr function that performs the
setting of the xattr and its notification. This is needed so the SELinux
implementation of inode_setsecctx can handle the setting of it's xattr while
maintaining the proper separation of layers.

[PATCH 2/2] LSM/SELinux: inode_{get,set,notify}secctx hooks to access LSM security context information.

[David P. Quigley]

This patch introduces three new hooks. The inode_getsecctx hook is used to get
all relevant information from an LSM about an inode. The inode_setsecctx is
used to set both the in-core and on-disk state for the inode based on a context
derived from inode_getsecctx.The final hook inode_notifysecctx will notify the
LSM of a change for the in-core state of the inode in question. These hooks are
for use in the labeled NFS code and addresses concerns of how to set security
on an inode in a multi-xattr LSM. For historical reasons Stephen Smalley's
explination of the reason for these hooks is pasted below.

Quote Stephen Smalley

inode_setsecctx:  Change the security context of an inode.  Updates the
incore security context managed by the security module and invokes the
fs code as needed (via __vfs_setxattr_noperm) to update any backing
xattrs that represent the context.  Example usage:  NFS server invokes
this hook to change the security context in its incore inode and on the
backing filesystem to a value provided by the client on a SETATTR
operation.

inode_notifysecctx:  Notify the security module of what the security
context of an inode should be.  Initializes the incore security context
managed by the security module for this inode.  Example usage:  NFS
client invokes this hook to initialize the security context in its
incore inode to the value provided by the server for the file when the
server returned the file's attributes to the client.

Cristoph, Casey -- any chance of getting ack or nack on this before the 
merge window closes?

Thanks.

No concernes about this patch, but as usual strong objections against
introducing it without the actual user.

Ok, we might put them into a labeled-nfs tree rather than pushing them to 
mainline at this stage.

Re: [PATCH]Introduce generalized hooks for getting and setting inode secctx.

[Dave Quigley]

My main goal here is to get labeled-nfs in to mainline in chunks instead
of throwing massive 25+ patch sets at you later on. People are far less
likely to review patch sets when they are massive so I figured a series
of smaller chunks would attract more attention. I have no problem
working off of a labeled-nfs tree with this patches applied to it but
I'd like to avoid getting stuff reacked every time I post it.

These patches don't appear to cause any harm, but I remain
unconvinced regarding the approach you're taking.
