[PATCH userspace v4 0/8] Parallel setfiles/restorecon

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

 



This series adds basic support for parallel relabeling to the libselinux
API and the setfiles/restorecon CLI tools. It turns out that doing the
relabeling in parallel can significantly reduce the time even with a
relatively simple approach.

The first patch fixes a data race around match tracking in label_file.
Second patch is a small cleanup found along the way. Patches 3-6 are
small incremental changes that various functions more thread-safe.
Patch 7 then completes the parallel relabeling implementation at
libselinux level and adds a new function to the API that allows to make
use of it. Finally, patch 8 adds parallel relabeling support to the
setfiles/restorecon tools.

The relevant man pages are also updated to reflect the new
functionality.

The patch descriptions contain more details, namely the last patch has
also some benchmark numbers.

Changes v3->v4:
- add a patch to fix a pre-existing data race in is_context_customizable()

Changes v2->v3:
- add a patch to fix a pre-existing data race in label_file
- wait for threads to complete using pthread_join(3) to prevent thread leaks

Changes v1->v2:
- make selinux_log() synchronized instead of introducing selinux_log_sync()
- fix -Wcomma warning
- update the swig files as well
- bump new symbol version to LIBSELINUX_3.3 (this may need further update
  depending on when this gets merged)

Ondrej Mosnacek (8):
  label_file: fix a data race
  selinux_restorecon: simplify fl_head allocation by using calloc()
  selinux_restorecon: protect file_spec list with a mutex
  libselinux: make selinux_log() thread-safe
  libselinux: make is_context_customizable() thread-safe
  selinux_restorecon: add a global mutex to synchronize progress output
  selinux_restorecon: introduce selinux_restorecon_parallel(3)
  setfiles/restorecon: support parallel relabeling
