Subject: [PATCH] libselinux: set errno to EBADF on O_PATH emulation failure
Date: Wed,  6 Jul 2022 12:47:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220706104729.14975-1-cgzones@googlemail.com> (raw)

When the O_PATH emulation fails override the errno value to EBADF
instead of retaining the one from getxattr(2)/setxattr(2).

For example in the case of no procfs being mounted, e.g. inside of a
chroot, getxattr(2)/setxattr(2) fail with ENOENT.  This is confusing to
the caller as it seems the target of the operation does not exist, which
is not the case:

    setfiles: Could not set context for /:  No such file or directory

Fixes: a782abf2 ("libselinux: emulate O_PATH support in fgetfilecon/fsetfilecon")
