Subject: [PATCH] selinux: make return code consistent with conflicting context= settings on same superblock
Date: Wed, 8 May 2013 14:40:20 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1368038420-19879-1-git-send-email-jlayton@redhat.com> (raw)
Commit 094f7b69ea73 adds a new check to ensure that when we clone an
existing superblock that the contexts match properly. We do however have
another place where you can hit similar problems in
selinux_set_mnt_opts. That function returns -EINVAL, whereas
selinux_sb_clone_mnt_opts returns -EBUSY in this situation.
I think -EBUSY is probably more descriptive of the situation here. The
context= option would have worked had the superblock not already been in
use. Fix selinux_set_mnt_opts to return -EBUSY instead of -EINVAL in
this situation.
