Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 02/11] security: Add LSM_AUDIT_DATA_NS for namespace audit records
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 11:04:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312100444.2609563-3-mic@digikod.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260312100444.2609563-1-mic@digikod.net>

Add a new LSM audit data type LSM_AUDIT_DATA_NS that logs namespace
information in audit records.  Two fields are provided, matching the
field names of struct ns_common:

- ns_type: the CLONE_NEW* flag identifying the namespace type, logged in
  hexadecimal.

- inum: the proc inode number identifying a specific namespace instance.
  Namespace inode numbers are allocated by proc_alloc_inum() via
  ida_alloc_max() bounded to UINT_MAX, so the value always fits in 32
  bits.

A new audit data type is needed because no existing LSM_AUDIT_DATA_*
type carries namespace information.  The closest alternatives (e.g.
LSM_AUDIT_DATA_TASK or LSM_AUDIT_DATA_NONE with custom strings) would
either lose the namespace type or require ad-hoc formatting that
bypasses the structured audit data union.
