Hi,

Right now LSM_AUDIT_DATA_PATH type contains "struct path" in union "u" of
common_audit_data. This information is used to print path of file 
at the same time it is also used to get to dentry and inode. And this
inode information is used to get to superblock and device and print
device information.

This does not work well for layered filesystems like overlay where dentry
contained in path is overlay dentry and not the real dentry of underlying
file system. That means inode retrieved from dentry is also overlay
inode and not the real inode.

seliux helpers like file_path_has_perm() are doing checks on inode retrieved
from file_inode(). This returns the real inode and not the overlay inode.
That means we are doing check on real inode but for audit purposes we
are printing details of overlay inode and that can be confusing while
debugging.

Hence, introduce a new type LSM_AUDIT_DATA_FILE which carries file
information and inode retrieved is real inode using file_inode(). That
way right avc denied information is given to user.

For example, following is one example avc before the patch. 

type=AVC msg=audit(1473360868.399:214): avc:  denied  { read open } for  pid=1765 comm="cat" path="/root/git/selinux-testsuite/tests/overlay/container1/merged/readfile" dev="overlay" ino=21443 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:test_overlay_client_t:s0:c10,c20 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:test_overlay_files_ro_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0

It looks as follows after the patch.

type=AVC msg=audit(1473360017.388:282): avc:  denied  { read open } for  pid=2530 comm="cat" path="/root/git/selinux-testsuite/tests/overlay/container1/merged/readfile" dev="dm-0" ino=2377915 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:test_overlay_client_t:s0:c10,c20 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:test_overlay_files_ro_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0 

Notice that now dev information points to "dm-0" device instead of "overlay"
device. This makes it clear that check failed on underlying inode and not
on the overlay inode.

Hi Vivek,

Sorry for the delay, this fell through the my normal filters as it
didn't go to the SELinux and/or audit mailing list.  However, this
patch looks reasonable to me and I think it is something we want in
4.9 with the rest of the LSM/overlayfs bits.  I'm building a test
kernel right now and assuming all goes well, I'll push this up to
James since it looks like we've got another week before the merge
window opens.

FYI, the testing went well so I just sent another pull request to
James for v4.9.
