Right now security_dentry_init_security() only supports single security label and is used by SELinux only. There are two users of of this hook, namely ceph and nfs. NFS does not care about xattr name. Ceph hardcodes the xattr name to security.selinux (XATTR_NAME_SELINUX). I am making changes to fuse/virtiofs to send security label to virtiofsd and I need to send xattr name as well. I also hardcoded the name of xattr to security.selinux. Stephen Smalley suggested that it probably is a good idea to modify security_dentry_init_security() to also return name of xattr so that we can avoid this hardcoding in the callers. This patch adds a new parameter "const char **xattr_name" to security_dentry_init_security() and LSM puts the name of xattr too if caller asked for it (xattr_name != NULL). Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- I have compile tested this patch. Don't know how to setup ceph and test it. Its a very simple change. Hopefully ceph developers can have a quick look at it. A similar attempt was made three years back. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-security-module/20180626080429.27304-1-zyan@xxxxxxxxxx/T/ --- fs/ceph/xattr.c | 3 +-- fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c | 3 ++- include/linux/lsm_hook_defs.h | 3 ++- include/linux/lsm_hooks.h | 1 + include/linux/security.h | 6 ++++-- security/security.c | 7 ++++--- security/selinux/hooks.c | 6 +++++- 7 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) Index: redhat-linux/security/selinux/hooks.c =================================================================== --- redhat-linux.orig/security/selinux/hooks.c 2021-09-28 11:36:03.559785943 -0400 +++ redhat-linux/security/selinux/hooks.c 2021-09-30 14:01:05.869195347 -0400 @@ -2948,7 +2948,8 @@ static void selinux_inode_free_security( } static int selinux_dentry_init_security(struct dentry *dentry, int mode, - const struct qstr *name, void **ctx, + const struct qstr *name, + const char **xattr_name, void **ctx, u32 *ctxlen) { u32 newsid;
