Subject: [PATCH v4] Add security.* XATTR support for the UBIFS

From: Subodh Nijsure <[email protected]>

Also fix couple of bugs in UBIFS extended attribute length calculation.

Changes in v4:
Fix lock issues introduced in v3.
Tested with CONFIG_SECURITY enabled & disabled.

Changes in v3:
Remove #ifdef CONFIG_UBIFS_FS_XATTR

Changes in v2:
Instead of just handling security.selinux extended attribute handle
all security.* attributes.

TESTING: Tested on MX28 based platforms using Micron MT29F2G08ABAEAH4 NAND
With these change we are able to label UBIFS filesystem with
security.selinux and run system with selinux enabled.
This change also allows one to set other security.* extended
attributes, such as security.smack security.evm, security.ima
Ran integck test on UBI filesystem.
This patch set has been tested with CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y and other options
suggested in Submitchecklist

Should this check pushed town to __ubifs_getxattr/__ubifs_setxattr ?
Does an extended attribute in general with zero name length legitimate?
Did you check whether the generic code already performs this check?

You do not actually need these mutexes, because "inode" is new, it is
not added to any lists yet, so you own it entirely. Which means that you
do not even need to introduce this helper function - just call
'security_inode_init_security()' directly.

If you really want to move that check into __ubifs_get/setxattr we can
do that.
However the above implementation is consistent with ext2/ext3/ext4/jffs
implementation.
> Does an extended attribute in general with zero name length legitimate?
My preference would be to remain consistent with interpretation of other
file systems, in terms of what constitutes an
invalid parameter. ext* filesystems seem to be declaring a blank
extended attribute as invalid parameter. Man page for setxattr/getxattr
don't explicitly state as such though.
> Did you check whether the generic code already performs this check?
I didn't see a generic code that performs this check.

In this particular case kmalloc() failed and we are returning ENOMEM
error, and in case of success, we do free the allocated memory.

Okay, I can change the code to directly call the
security_inode_init_security().
I will wait couple days to see if there are other comments trickle in
before submitting v5.
It would great if someone else can run UBIFS with extended attributes
enabled and provide an ACK! ;-)

Yes, if other FSes have this check - please add it there.

OK, but on the other hand - how much sense does it make to have these
trivial wrappers? Should we have a wrapper per-check? :-)

BTW, to they have to be non-static?

Sure, let's add this check - I guess I was not careful enough and missed
it.

OK, thanks.

Indeed, sorry for silly question.

I will run it once you send the patch I cannot nit-pick on anymore (aka
perfect patch) :-)))

Thanks!
