This doesn't work as implemented, I think.
What I would have preferred and what I tried to explain in the
earlier review was:
Keep the dentry stashing global since it is only needed for
init_ima_ns.
Then struct ima_namespace becomes way smaller and simpler.
If you do that then it makes sense to remove the additional
dget() in securityfs_create_dentry() for non-init_ima_ns.
Then you can rely on auto-cleanup in .kill_sb() or on
ima_securityfs_init() failure and you only need to call
ima_fs_ns_free_dentries() if ns != init_ima_ns.
IIuc, it seems you're currently doing one dput() too many since
you're calling securityfs_remove() in the error path for non-
init_ima_ns which relies on the previous increased dget() which
we removed.
If you really want to move the dentry stashing into struct
ima_namespace even though it's really unnecessary then you may as
well not care about the auto-cleanup and keep that additional
ima_fs_ns_free_dentries(ns) call in .kill_sb(). But I really think
not dragging dentry stashing into struct ima_namespace is the
correct way to go about this.
We, unfortunately, do have one case we can't avoid stashing for the
policy file. It's this code in ima_release_policy:
#if !defined(CONFIG_IMA_WRITE_POLICY) &&
!defined(CONFIG_IMA_READ_POLICY)
securityfs_remove(ns->dentry[IMAFS_DENTRY_IMA_POLICY]);
ns->dentry[IMAFS_DENTRY_IMA_POLICY] = NULL;
What it does is that in certain config options, the policy file entry
gets removed from the securityfs ima directory after you write to it.
This is what I have incremental to v5 that corrects all of this. It
actually keeps every dentry reference (including init_user_ns ones) at
1 so they can be reaped on unmount. For the remove case it does
d_delete and then puts the only reference. This means
securityfs_remove() works for the namespaced policy file as well.
I fixed it now as well but do another dget() on securityfs_removed() for
ns != init_user_ns. Ok, I will add what you have below.
I also got rid of the spurious initialized check in ima_securityfs_init
because it prevents you doing a mount;umount;mount on securityfs within
a namespace.
There's still the problem that if you write the policy, making the file
disappear then unmount and remount securityfs it will come back. My
guess for fixing this is that we only stash the policy file reference,
create it if NULL but then set the pointer to PTR_ERR(-EINVAL) or
something and refuse to create it for that value.
What about boolean to remember this? I just added this.
