Subject: [PATCH 1/3] evm: calculate HMAC after initializing posix acl on tmpfs
Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2013 10:56:25 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1371740187-11989-1-git-send-email-zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
Included in the EVM hmac calculation is the i_mode. Any changes to
the i_mode need to be reflected in the hmac. shmem_mknod() currently
calls generic_acl_init(), which modifies the i_mode, after calling
security_inode_init_security(). This patch reverses the order in
which they are called.
