Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 1/8] ocfs2: Copy the xattr name in ocfs2_initxattrs
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 17:07:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915150739.284189-2-daniel@iogearbox.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260915150739.284189-1-daniel@iogearbox.net>
ocfs2_mknod() and ocfs2_symlink() ask for the security xattr up front
through a struct ocfs2_security_xattr_info, so that they can size the
transaction before setting it. ocfs2_initxattrs() duplicates the value
since the array security_inode_init_security() hands is freed on return,
but keeps the name pointer as-is, given so far every LSM stored a string
constant there. bpf_inode_init_xattr() places the name in the same
allocation as the value, which security_inode_init_security() frees on
its way out. Copy the name alongside the value and free both together.
This is the only special case wrt xattrs in the bpf_inode_init_xattr()
context.
