Subject: [PATCH] apparmor: lift path_name lookup in umount
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 14:03:09 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916170309.396648-1-murilo.almeida.dev@outlook.com> (raw)

Before this change, pathname lookup for umount permission checks was
performed inside profile_umount(). This mixed object-specific path
information with profile-specific path configuration.

PATH_IS_DIR describes the object being unmounted, while path_flags and
disconnected belong to the current profile. Keeping these inputs
together inside profile_umount() unnecessarily coupled pathname
resolution with the permission check. An existing TODO in
profile_umount() already called for lifting this lookup.

Separate pathname resolution from the mount permission check.
Calculate PATH_IS_DIR once in aa_umount(), since it is specific to the
object. Then, for each profile, combine it with profile->path_flags
when calling aa_path_name(), using profile->disconnected from the
current profile.

Move this per-profile pathname lookup into umount_path_perm() and pass
the resolved pathname to profile_umount().

Keep profile_umount() focused on checking the resolved pathname against
the mount policy: DFA matching, permission lookup, profile mode
handling, and the final AA_MAY_UMOUNT check.
