[PATCH] xfs: use has_capability_noaudit() instead of capable() where appropriate

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In cases when a negative result of a capability check doesn't lead to an
immediate, user-visible error, only a subtle difference in behavior, it
is better to use has_capability_noaudit(current, ...), so that LSMs
(e.g. SELinux) don't generate a denial record in the audit log each time
the capability status is queried. This patch should cover all such cases
in fs/xfs/.

Note that I kept the capable(CAP_FSETID) checks, since these will only
be executed if the user explicitly tries to set the SUID/SGID bit, and
it likely makes sense to log such attempts even if the syscall doesn't
fail and just ignores the bits.
