Subject: [PATCH] fs: call security_d_instantiate in d_obtain_alias V2

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.
