The idea seems reasonable to me; if we want to treat labeled NFS like
we treat local filesystems we should also support the defcontext mount
option.
However, I wonder if we are better off generalizing some of the
SECURITY_FS_USE_XATTR based code in inode_doinit_with_dentry() such
that it can be used both in selinux_inode_notifysecctx() and in
inode_doinit_with_dentry(). Or maybe we just need a sbsec->def_sid
variant of selinux_inode_setsecurity(). Regardless, the key is the
call to security_context_to_sid_default(), the
selinux_inode_setsecurity() function only calls
security_context_to_sid().
Just in case anyone is wondering, I'm not sure I want to update
selinux_inode_setsecurity() to call security_context_to_sid_default();
at least not without more investigation.
