They don't really conflict, and actually to really support things well for smack we probably need something like your patches. At the same time a patch written without dealing with s_user_ns is going to going to fail to take a lot of important details into account. Right now after fixing the mount namespace issues the top priority is to work through the details and get s_user_ns implemented. By that I mean some version of patch 1 of Seth's series. s_user_ns fundamentally changes how the concepts are represented in the kernel in a way that is easier to secure, and that fundamentally better matches things. And sigh. This review has shown we don't quite have all of the details worked out. > If your approach here is to treat user ns mounted filesystem as if they > didn't support xattrs at all then my patches don't conflict here any > more than Smack itself already does. The end game if people developing smack choose to play, is to figure out how to store your unmapped labels in a filesystem contained by a user namespace and a smack label namespace root. > If the filesystem will get a default (e.g. by smack* mount options) > label then this label will co-work with Smack namespaces. A default, but I don't know if it will be smack mount options that will give that default. The devil is in the details and there are a lot of details.
