Hi, Following are RFC patches to support SELinux with overlayfs. I started with David Howells's latest posting on this topic and started modifying patches. These patches apply on top of overlayfs-next branch of miklos vfs git tree. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git overlayfs-next These patches can be pulled from my branch too. https://github.com/rhvgoyal/linux/commits/overlayfs-selinux-mounter-next Thanks to Dan Walsh, Stephen Smalley and Miklos Szeredi for numerous conversation and ideas in helping figuring out what one reasonable implementation might look like. Dan Walsh has been writing tests for selinux overlayfs in selinux-testsuite. These patches pass those tests except one. I think that test/policy need to be fixed. https://github.com/rhatdan/selinux-testsuite/commits/master Posting these patches for review and comments. These patches introduce 3 new security hooks. - security_inode_copy_up(), is called when a file is copied up. This hook prepares a new set of cred which is used for copy up operation. And new set of creds are prepared so that ->create_sid can be set appropriately and newly created file is labeled properly. When a file is copied up, label of lower file is retained except for the case of context= mount where new file gets the label from context= option. - security_inode_copy_up_xattr(), is called when xattrs of a file are being copied up. Before this we already called security_inode_copy_up() and created new file and copied up data. That means file already got labeled properly and there is no need to take SELINUX xattr of lower file and overwrite the upper file xattr. So this hook is used to avoid copying up of SELINUX xattr. - dentry_create_files_as(), is called when a new file is about to be created. This hook determines what the label of the file should be if task had created that file in upper/ and sets create_sid accordingly in the passed in creds. Normal transition rules don't work for the case of context mounts as underlying file system is not aware of context option which only overlay layer is aware of. For non-context mounts, creation can happen in work/ dir first and then file might be renamed into upper/, and it might get label based on work/ dir. So this hooks helps avoiding all these issues. When a new file is created in upper/, it gets its label based on transition rules. For the case of context mount, it gets the label from context= option. Apart from hooks, also changed overlay code to not do getxattr checks on underlying inode so that overlay inode selinux label does not fail initializaiton. Any feedback is welcome.
