Re: [PATCH v6 4/8] selinux: Convert from sb_mount to granular mount hooks

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Critical] The patch series unregisters the `sb_mount` and `move_mount` LSM hooks in SELinux and AppArmor, replacing them with new granular hooks (`mount_bind`, `mount_new`, etc.). However, it completely fails to update the VFS layer (`fs/namespace.c`) to actually call these new `security_mount_*` wrappers. Because the VFS still calls the legacy `security_sb_mount()` and `security_move_mount()` functions, and the LSMs no longer provide handlers for them, the LSM framework silently defaults to returning 0 (success). This causes a total bypass of all mount permission checks for both SELinux and AppArmor.

--- Patch [4]: [PATCH v6 4/8] selinux: Convert from sb_mount to granular mount hooks ---

selinux: Convert from sb_mount to granular mount hooks

This commit replaces the monolithic selinux_mount hook with granular
mount hooks such as mount_bind, mount_new, and mount_remount. It removes
the legacy sb_mount and move_mount hooks from the selinux_hooks array.

[Severity: Critical]
Are there accompanying changes to the VFS layer in fs/namespace.c to actually
call these new security_mount_* wrappers?

If sb_mount and move_mount are unregistered here, but the VFS still calls the
legacy security_sb_mount() and security_move_mount(), will the LSM framework
silently default to returning 0 (success) because the handlers are gone?

Could this result in a complete bypass of all mount permission checks for
SELinux?
