[PATCH 6.18 43/52] selinux: allow multiple opens of /sys/fs/selinux/policy

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

6.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stephen Smalley <stephen.smalley.work@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit a02cd6805562305f936e807da83e253b719dd965 ]

Currently there can only be a single open of /sys/fs/selinux/policy at
any time. This allows any process to block any other process from
reading the kernel policy. The original motivation seems to have been
a mix of preventing an inconsistent view of the policy size and
preventing userspace from allocating kernel memory without bound, but
this is arguably equally bad. Eliminate the policy_opened flag and
shrink the critical section that the policy mutex is held. While we
are making changes here, drop a couple of extraneous BUG_ONs.
