Series LSM: Replace secctx/len pairs with lsm_context | expand

Commit Message

Casey Schaufler Oct. 14, 2024, 3:14 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.

Special care is taken in the NFS code, which uses the same data structure
for its own copied labels as it does for the data which comes from
security_dentry_init_security().  In the case of copied labels the data
has to be freed, not released.

The scaffolding funtion lsmcontext_init() is no longer needed and is
removed.

Shouldn't this be a call to security_release_secctx() instead of a raw
kfree()?

As mentioned in the description, the NFS data is a copy that NFS
manages, so it does need to be freed, not released.

It does, my apologies.

However, this makes me wonder if using the lsm_context struct for the
private NFS copy is the right decision.  The NFS code assumes and
requires a single string, ala secctx, but I think we want the ability
to potentially do other/additional things with lsm_context, even if
this patchset doesn't do that.

I would suggest keeping the NFS private copy as sec_ctx/sec_ctxlen and
keep the concept of a translation between the data structures in
place, even though it is just a simple string duplication right now.

This came down to a choice about where the ugly code would be.
I'll restore the old behavior.
