Subject: [22/23] fs: call security_d_instantiate in d_obtain_alias V2
Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2011 16:55:59 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110325235638.765352236@clark.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110325235654.GA24416@kroah.com>
[-- Attachment #1: fs-call-security_d_instantiate-in-d_obtain_alias-v2.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1895 bytes --]
From: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>
commit 24ff6663ccfdaf088dfa7acae489cb11ed4f43c4 upstream.
While trying to track down some NFS problems with BTRFS, I kept noticing I was
getting -EACCESS for no apparent reason. Eric Paris and printk() helped me
figure out that it was SELinux that was giving me grief, with the following
denial
type=AVC msg=audit(1290013638.413:95): avc: denied { 0x800000 } for pid=1772
comm="nfsd" name="" dev=sda1 ino=256 scontext=system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=file
Turns out this is because in d_obtain_alias if we can't find an alias we create
one and do all the normal instantiation stuff, but we don't do the
security_d_instantiate.
Usually we are protected from getting a hashed dentry that hasn't yet run
security_d_instantiate() by the parent's i_mutex, but obviously this isn't an
option there, so in order to deal with the case that a second thread comes in
and finds our new dentry before we get to run security_d_instantiate(), we go
ahead and call it if we find a dentry already. Eric assures me that this is ok
as the code checks to see if the dentry has been initialized already so calling
security_d_instantiate() against the same dentry multiple times is ok. With
this patch I'm no longer getting errant -EACCESS values.
