Commit Message

Casey Schaufler Oct. 23, 2024, 9:21 p.m. UTC
Replace the (secctx,seclen) pointer pair with a single
lsm_context pointer to allow return of the LSM identifier
along with the context and context length. This allows
security_release_secctx() to know how to release the
context. Callers have been modified to use or save the
returned data from the new structure.

security_secid_to_secctx() and security_lsmproc_to_secctx()
will now return the length value on success instead of 0.

Hi Casey,

This is a review of the netfilter chunk.

This breaks here.

len is really used, this should be instead:

	ret = security_secid_to_secctx(ct->secmark, &ctx);

[...]
        return nla_total_size(0) /* CTA_SECCTX */
               + nla_total_size(sizeof(char) * ctx.len); /* CTA_SECCTX_NAME */
#else
        return 0;
#endif
}

Help us make this get closer to revert xmas tree:

Hi Paul,

This patch breaks nf_conntrack_netlink, Casey mentioned that he will
post another series.

I have a fix, it is pretty simple. How about I send a 6/5 patch for it?
Or, if you want to fix it yourself, in ctnetlink_secctx_size() remove the
declaration of "len" and replace its use in the return with "ret".

No idea. I don't know what is the status of this series. I would
suggest to repost a new series.

No, sorry, I won't do that.

Please just post a fix against v2 using lsm/dev as a base.

That should have been "against *v3* using lsm/dev as a base".

Also, since I didn't explicitly mention it, if I don't see a fix by
dinner time tonight (US East Coast), I'll revert this patchset, but
I'd like to avoid that if possible.

Sorry for the screw-up on my end folks, I was trying to get things
done before Halloween kicked off and it looks like I was a bit too
hasty in my review/merging.

I will have this as quickly as I can. The patch is easy, but the overhead
may slow it down a bit. I should have it in time to avoid the revert.

It turns out there is no rush on this as it looks like the Rust
bindings are going to be the one that ends up pushing this out past
the next merge window as there is a conflict with changes to the Rust
LSM helpers in the VFS tree.

We still obviously need to the fix, so please keep going with the fix
based against v3; I'm going to move the v3 patchset from lsm/dev to
lsm/dev-staging, this will still allow for the usual LSM testing but
will shield it from linux-next.
