[v12,2/5] Add flags option to get xattr method paired to __vfs_getxattr

Commit Message

Mark Salyzyn July 30, 2019, 5:28 p.m. UTC

Add a flag option to get xattr method that could have a bit flag of
XATTR_NOSECURITY passed to it.  XATTR_NOSECURITY is set in the
__vfs_getxattr path.

This handles the case of a union filesystem driver that is being
requested by the security layer to report back the data that is the
target label or context embedded into wrapped filesystem's xattr.

For the use case where access is to be blocked by the security layer.

The path then could be security(dentry) -> __vfs_getxattr(dentry) ->
handler->get(dentry...XATTR_NOSECURITY) ->
__vfs_getxattr(lower_dentry) -> lower_handler->get(lower_dentry)
which would report back through the chain data and success as
expected, but the logging security layer at the top would have the
data to determine the access permissions and report back the target
context that was blocked.

Without the get handler flag, the path on a union filesystem would be
the errant security(dentry) -> __vfs_getxattr(dentry) ->
handler->get(dentry) -> vfs_getxattr(lower_dentry) -> nested ->
security(lower_dentry, log off) -> lower_handler->get(lower_dentry)
which would report back through the chain no data, and -EACCES.

For selinux for both cases, this would translate to a correctly
determined blocked access. In the first corrected case a correct avc
log would be reported, in the second legacy case an incorrect avc log
would be reported against an uninitialized u:object_r:unlabeled:s0
context making the logs cosmetically useless for audit2allow.

v12 - Added back to patch series as get xattr with flag option.

v11 - Squashed out of patch series and replaced with per-thread flag
      solution.

v10 - Added to patch series as __get xattr method.
