Subject: [PATCH -next -v2 8/8] selftests/lsm: add lockdown securityfs test
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 21:28:18 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110132818.2231593-9-caixinchen1@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110132818.2231593-1-caixinchen1@huawei.com>

Add a kselftest for the lockdown securityfs interface.  It checks the
read format, rejects unknown levels, verifies that an already locked
down kernel neither accepts the current level nor a lower one, and
checks that the level can be upgraded.  The test skips itself when
lockdown is not enabled, when not run as root, or when the file cannot
be opened for writing.

The upgrade test irreversibly raises the lockdown level, so the test is
built but not run by default; run "make run_lockdown_test" to execute
it, preferably on a disposable test system.

Enable CONFIG_SECURITY_LOCKDOWN_LSM in the selftest config fragment so
that the test has something to exercise.

Use the shared file read helper from common.c instead of duplicating it.
