Subject: [PATCH 2/2] selinux: stop passing MAY_NOT_BLOCK to the AVC upon follow_link
Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2018 10:10:56 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181212151056.2938-2-sds@tycho.nsa.gov> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181212151056.2938-1-sds@tycho.nsa.gov>

commit bda0be7ad9948 ("security: make inode_follow_link RCU-walk aware")
switched selinux_inode_follow_link() to use avc_has_perm_flags() and
pass down the MAY_NOT_BLOCK flag if called during RCU walk.  However,
the only test of MAY_NOT_BLOCK occurs during slow_avc_audit()
and only if passing an inode as audit data (LSM_AUDIT_DATA_INODE).  Since
selinux_inode_follow_link() passes a dentry directly, passing MAY_NOT_BLOCK
here serves no purpose.  Switch selinux_inode_follow_link() to use
avc_has_perm() and drop avc_has_perm_flags() since there are no other
users.
