I don't agree with the homedirreader and homedirwriter concepts.  I think the appropriate way is to abstract all of this noxattr home dir access is to do this for all of the existing interfaces.  I would have done this in the first place, if there wasn't the problem with nested conditionals.

So for example, take userdom_list_user_home_content.  The ideal would be

interface(`userdom_list_user_home_content',`
        gen_require(`
                type user_home_t;
        ')

        allow $1 user_home_t:dir list_dir_perms;

        tunable_policy(`use_nfs_home_dirs',`
                fs_read_nfs_files($1)
        ')

        tunable_policy(`use_samba_home_dirs',`
                fs_read_cifs_files($1)
        ')
')

But since this would cause problems if calls to this interface were in a conditional, we couldn't do this.  I'd be fine taking an attribute style implementation like you have in this patch, but it would have to be for all of the relevant existing interfaces.  That should have the benefit of eliminating all of the use_nfs_home_dirs and use_samba_home_dirs strewn all over the policy.  If you skip the relabel, filetrans, domtrans, and dontaudit interfaces, I came up with 19 interfaces.

One other comment on the homemanager stuff.  I don't think it is as
easy to say just if you use a userdom_*_home interface, since in a lot
of cases confined domains might only be allowed to manage a labeled
file in the homedir.  For example sshd_t can only read ssh_home_t but
would still be a userhomereader.

I'm going to have to do more thinking about this.  Instead of running into the nested conditionals problem, its going to run into the problem of type_attributes in conditionals.
