[PATCH 3.19 038/101] sunrpc: make debugfs file creation failure non-fatal

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

 



3.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit f9c72d10d6fbf949558cd088389a42213ed7b12d upstream.

We currently have a problem that SELinux policy is being enforced when
creating debugfs files. If a debugfs file is created as a side effect of
doing some syscall, then that creation can fail if the SELinux policy
for that process prevents it.

This seems wrong. We don't do that for files under /proc, for instance,
so Bruce has proposed a patch to fix that.

While discussing that patch however, Greg K.H. stated:

    "No kernel code should care / fail if a debugfs function fails, so
     please fix up the sunrpc code first."

This patch converts all of the sunrpc debugfs setup code to be void
return functins, and the callers to not look for errors from those
functions.

This should allow rpc_clnt and rpc_xprt creation to work, even if the
kernel fails to create debugfs files for some reason.

Symptoms were failing krb5 mounts on systems using gss-proxy and
selinux.

Fixes: 388f0c776781 "sunrpc: add a debugfs rpc_xprt directory..."
