The patch titled xattr.h: expose string defines to userspace has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was xattrh-expose-string-defines-to-userspace.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: xattr.h: expose string defines to userspace From: Eric Paris <eparis@xxxxxxxxxx> af4f136056c9 ("security: move LSM xattrnames to xattr.h") moved the XATTR_CAPS_SUFFIX define from capability.h to xattr.h. This makes sense except it was previously exports to userspace but xattr.h does not export it to userspace. This patch exports these headers to userspace to fix the ABI regression. There is some slight possibility that this will cause problems in other applications which used these #defines differently (wrongly) and I could JUST export the capabilities xattr name that we broke. Does anyonehave an idea how exposing these headers could cause a problem? Below is what is being exposed to userspace, included here since it isn't clear exactly what is going to be made available from the patch. /* Namespaces */ #define XATTR_OS2_PREFIX "os2." #define XATTR_OS2_PREFIX_LEN (sizeof (XATTR_OS2_PREFIX) - 1) #define XATTR_SECURITY_PREFIX "security." #define XATTR_SECURITY_PREFIX_LEN (sizeof (XATTR_SECURITY_PREFIX) - 1) #define XATTR_SYSTEM_PREFIX "system." #define XATTR_SYSTEM_PREFIX_LEN (sizeof (XATTR_SYSTEM_PREFIX) - 1) #define XATTR_TRUSTED_PREFIX "trusted." #define XATTR_TRUSTED_PREFIX_LEN (sizeof (XATTR_TRUSTED_PREFIX) - 1) #define XATTR_USER_PREFIX "user." #define XATTR_USER_PREFIX_LEN (sizeof (XATTR_USER_PREFIX) - 1) /* Security namespace */ #define XATTR_SELINUX_SUFFIX "selinux" #define XATTR_NAME_SELINUX XATTR_SECURITY_PREFIX XATTR_SELINUX_SUFFIX #define XATTR_SMACK_SUFFIX "SMACK64" #define XATTR_SMACK_IPIN "SMACK64IPIN" #define XATTR_SMACK_IPOUT "SMACK64IPOUT" #define XATTR_NAME_SMACK XATTR_SECURITY_PREFIX XATTR_SMACK_SUFFIX #define XATTR_NAME_SMACKIPIN XATTR_SECURITY_PREFIX XATTR_SMACK_IPIN #define XATTR_NAME_SMACKIPOUT XATTR_SECURITY_PREFIX XATTR_SMACK_IPOUT #define XATTR_CAPS_SUFFIX "capability" #define XATTR_NAME_CAPS XATTR_SECURITY_PREFIX XATTR_CAPS_SUFFIX Reported-by: Ozan Çaglayan <ozan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Mimi Zohar <zohar@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Serge Hallyn <serue@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: James Morris <jmorris@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- include/linux/xattr.h | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff -puN include/linux/xattr.h~xattrh-expose-string-defines-to-userspace include/linux/xattr.h --- a/include/linux/xattr.h~xattrh-expose-string-defines-to-userspace +++ a/include/linux/xattr.h @@ -13,10 +13,6 @@ #define XATTR_CREATE 0x1 /* set value, fail if attr already exists */ #define XATTR_REPLACE 0x2 /* set value, fail if attr does not exist */ -#ifdef __KERNEL__ - -#include <linux/types.h> - /* Namespaces */ #define XATTR_OS2_PREFIX "os2." #define XATTR_OS2_PREFIX_LEN (sizeof (XATTR_OS2_PREFIX) - 1) @@ -53,6 +49,10 @@ #define XATTR_CAPS_SUFFIX "capability" #define XATTR_NAME_CAPS XATTR_SECURITY_PREFIX XATTR_CAPS_SUFFIX +#ifdef __KERNEL__ + +#include <linux/types.h> + struct inode; struct dentry; _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from eparis@xxxxxxxxxx are origin.patch linux-next.patch audit-always-follow-va_copy-with-va_end.patch flex_array-avoid-divisions-when-accessing-elements.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
