Subject: [PATCH v2] selinux: bpf: check SBLABEL_MNT before isec init
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 22:15:07 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260730221508.3846409-1-cmllamas@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <db6fe5d2d4081f20f85abc6020b831fd@paul-moore.com>
selinux_inode_init_security() marks the isec as initialized before
checking if mount labeling is supported (SBLABEL_MNT). This was fine
until commit 9722955b5430 ("bpf: Add simple xattr support to bpffs"),
where genfscon bpffs mounts fail the SBLABEL_MNT check as expected (no
xattrs) and yet leave the isec->initialized. This breaks subsequent
calls to inode_doinit_with_dentry().
Do the SBLABEL_MNT check before the inode security is initialized.
