Copying up xattrs is solely based on the security xattr name. For finer
granularity add a dentry parameter to the security_inode_copy_up_xattr
hook definition, allowing decisions to be based on the xattr content as
well.

What do you think about:

                      error = security_inode_copy_up_xattr(name, NULL, 0);

We need 'old'.

and then later...

                      error = security_inode_copy_up_xattr(name, value, size);

Are these parameter used to first query for the necessary size of the buffer and then provide the buffer to fill it? Or should the function rather take an existing buffer and realloc it if necessary and place the value of the xattr into it? Unfortunately this function currently returns '1' for 'discard', so returning the size of the xattr value from it maybe not ideal but it would require maybe yet another parameter that indicates what the size of the xattr value is.

I am asking because overlayfs uses mnt_idmap(path->mnt) and you
have used nop_mnt_idmap inside evm hook.
this does not look right to me?

Thanks,
Amir.
