All right, that kind of makes sense, but I'm still missing some pieces.

So we've set the transmute flag on the root inode. Files and directories created in the root directory get the same label, and directories also get the transmute attribute. That's all fine. What about an existing directory in the filesystem that already has a Slate label? I'm not getting what happens with this directory, or for new files created in this directory, which also relates to my other questions below. Also an aside - smk_access_entry looks weird. may is initialized to -ENOENT, and then rule_list is searched for a rule which matches the object and subject labels. Presumably it's possible that no rule could be found, otherwise the prior initialization of may is pointless. If this happens the following code treats it as though it always contains access flags even though it might contain -ENOENT. Nothing bad actually happens with a two's compliement representation of -ENOENT since it will just set a bit that's already set, but it still seems like it should have a may > 0 condition, for clarity if for no other reason. > > > inode->i_security = new_inode_smack(skp); > > if (inode->i_security == NULL) > > @@ -3175,6 +3188,11 @@ static void smack_d_instantiate(struct dentry *opt_dentry, struct inode *inode) > > break; > > } > > /* > > + * Don't use labels from xattrs for unprivileged mounts. > > + */ > > + if (sb_in_userns(inode->i_sb)) > > + break; > > + /* > > Again, use the label. Just check to make sure it's what you expect. What happens if it's not what I expect? smack_d_instantiate cannot fail ... so just use the default label? In that case why bother reading it at all?
