Subject: [PATCH 0/4] devcg: Store local settings for each device cgroup
Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2013 11:34:10 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1376580854-30929-1-git-send-email-aris@redhat.com> (raw)
This patchset makes possible for device cgroups to store locally set rules to
be reapplied whenever possible. This is also desired when moving device cgroups
around.
Consider:
A
/
B
Behavior in both is deny. 'A' has this exception list:
b 1:* rw
c *:* rw
One can explicitely set on 'B':
b 1:5 r
If for some reason 'A' removes 'b 1:* rw', 'B' exception 'b 1:5 r' will be
removed because it's not allowed anymore and would be forever lost.
Now, consider that in the parent more fine grained exceptions were added:
b 1:1 r
b 1:2 rw
b 1:4 rwc
b 1:5 r
B would still be out of exceptions (we only propagate restrictions, not added
access).
With this patchset, the 'b 1:5 r' exception will be kept and whenever possible
(more specifically when the parent gets access to more devices) it'll be
re-evaluated and applied if allowed. In this specific case, since it's allowed
again, the exception 'b 1:5 r' will be reapplied to B.
This patchset is based on for-3.12 branch on Tejun's tree
(bd8815a6d802fc16a7a106e170593aa05dc17e72) and it's available for review on my
git tree:
