In order to avoid concurrency issues around selinuxfs resource availability during policy load, we first create new directories out of tree for reloaded resources, then swap them in, and finally delete the old versions. This fix focuses on concurrency in each of the two subtrees swapped, and not concurrency between the trees. This means that it is still possible that subsequent reads to eg the booleans directory and the class directory during a policy load could see the old state for one and the new for the other. The problem of ensuring that policy loads are fully atomic from the perspective of userspace is larger than what is dealt with here. This commit focuses on ensuring that the directories contents always match either the new or the old policy state from the perspective of userspace. In the previous implementation, on policy load /sys/fs/selinux is updated by deleting the previous contents of /sys/fs/selinux/{class,booleans} and then recreating them. This means that there is a period of time when the contents of these directories do not exist which can cause race conditions as userspace relies on them for information about the policy. In addition, it means that error recovery in the event of failure is challenging. In order to demonstrate the race condition that this series fixes, you can use the following commands: while true; do cat /sys/fs/selinux/class/service/perms/status >/dev/null; done & while true; do load_policy; done; In the existing code, this will display errors fairly often as the class lookup fails. (In normal operation from systemd, this would result in a permission check which would be allowed or denied based on policy settings around unknown object classes.) After applying this patch series you should expect to no longer see such error messages. This has been backported to 5.4 for inclusion in stable. Because prior to this series in the main kernel some refactoring of SELinux policy loading had been done, the backport required changing some function call arguments. The most significant change of note in the backport is as follows: In previous versions of the kernel, on a policy load, three directories in the selinuxfs were recreated: class, booleans and policy_capabilities. Changes to the selinuxfs code after 5.4 but prior to this series removed the recreation of the policy_capabilities code, so that was not modified in this series. For this backport, I left the existing recreation functionality of policy_capabilities intact, modifying only the class and booleans directories, as in the original series. As a final note about changes from the original patch, I dropped a patch that was only style cleanup, so this patch no longer takes advantage of the style changes.
