Subject: [PATCH v2] overlayfs: caller_credentials option bypass creator_cred
Date:   Mon, 18 Jun 2018 12:27:19 -0700
Message-Id: <20180618192726.67981-1-salyzyn@android.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

All accesses to the lower filesystems reference the creator (mount)
context.  This is a security issue as the user context does not
overlay the creator context.

A module bool parameter and mount option caller_credentials is added
to set the default, and to act as a presence check for this "feature".
The module parameter is used to change the default behavior, But
since I can not break user API, I have to preserve the original
behavior as default.

On MAC security model expect to set the caller_credentials to Y as
part of early initialization to preserve security model when the
option of iether caller_credentials or creator_credentials is not
explicitly specified in the mount.

v2:
- forward port changed attr to stat, resulting in a build error
- wording in commit message was too adversarial and needed correction
