Subject: [PATCH v2 -next 05/18] LSM: pass struct path to the inode_setattr hook
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 20:54:11 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261015125425.3246251-6-caixinchen1@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261015125425.3246251-1-caixinchen1@huawei.com>

The inode_setattr hook is called from notify_change(), which now
holds a struct path and used to derive the idmap and dentry from it
just for the hook.  The other in-kernel caller, the fat and exfat
attribute ioctls, already holds a struct file and can pass its
f_path directly.

Convert the hook and its SELinux, Smack and EVM implementations to
take a const struct path.  The implementations derive the idmap and
dentry they still need from the path, so this is a purely mechanical
change with no behavior change.

Assisted-by: opencode: glm-5.3
