Re: [PATCH 2/3] SELINUX: Make selinux cache VFS RCU walks safe

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'll take a close look over the weekend, but I'm pretty sure this is
even more strict than it needs to be.  I looked at this a while ago
and the only RCU unsafe location I could find was in the generic LSM
'audit' code (nothing to do with the audit subsystem).  That code can
do a d = d_find_alias(); dput(d).  I don't think I realized the dput()
was not RCU safe at the time.  We use it to come up with a name of a
dentry that might have caused the denial (although obviously not
necessarily the right name)

I could just drop that piece of functionality (and rely on the audit
subsystem for the info), but I think I'd rather do it your way.  I
think I can push your flags a lot deeper than you have pushed them
(and remove them in some places you have included them).  Let me look
over the next day or two....
