From 2a7dba391e5628ad665ce84ef9a6648da541ebab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2011 11:05:39 -0500 Subject: fs/vfs/security: pass last path component to LSM on inode creation SELinux would like to implement a new labeling behavior of newly created inodes. We currently label new inodes based on the parent and the creating process. This new behavior would also take into account the name of the new object when deciding the new label. This is not the (supposed) full path, just the last component of the path. This is very useful because creating /etc/shadow is different than creating /etc/passwd but the kernel hooks are unable to differentiate these operations. We currently require that userspace realize it is doing some difficult operation like that and than userspace jumps through SELinux hoops to get things set up correctly. This patch does not implement new behavior, that is obviously contained in a seperate SELinux patch, but it does pass the needed name down to the correct LSM hook. If no such name exists it is fine to pass NULL.
