Subject: [PATCH v12 3/5] overlayfs: handle XATTR_NOSECURITY flag for get xattr method
Date:   Tue, 30 Jul 2019 10:29:00 -0700
Message-Id: <20190730172904.79146-4-salyzyn@android.com>

Because of the overlayfs getxattr recursion, the incoming inode fails
to update the selinux sid resulting in avc denials being reported
against a target context of u:object_r:unlabeled:s0.

Solution is to respond to the XATTR_NOSECURITY flag in get xattr
method that calls the __vfs_getxattr handler instead so that the
context can be read in, rather than being denied with an -EACCES
when vfs_getxattr handler is called.

For the use case where access is to be blocked by the security layer.

The path then would be security(dentry) -> __vfs_getxattr(dentry) ->
handler->get(dentry...XATTR_NOSECURITY) ->
__vfs_getxattr(realdentry) -> lower_handler->get(realdentry) which
would report back through the chain data and success as expected,
the logging security layer at the top would have the data to
determine the access permissions and report back to the logs and
the caller that the target context was blocked.

For selinux this would solve the cosmetic issue of the selinux log
and allow audit2allow to correctly report the rule needed to address
the access problem.

v12 - Added back to patch series as get xattr with flag option.

v11 - Squashed out of patch series and replaced with per-thread flag
      solution.

v10 - Added to patch series as __get xattr method.
