From 1c9904297451f558191e211a48d8838b4bf792b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2011 17:23:19 -0700 Subject: SECURITY: Move exec_permission RCU checks into security modules Right now all RCU walks fall back to reference walk when CONFIG_SECURITY is enabled, even though just the standard capability module is active. This is because security_inode_exec_permission unconditionally fails RCU walks. Move this decision to the low level security module. This requires passing the RCU flags down the security hook. This way at least the capability module and a few easy cases in selinux/smack work with RCU walks with CONFIG_SECURITY=y Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Eric Paris --- security/security.c | 6 ++---- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'security/security.c') diff --git a/security/security.c b/security/security.c index 47b8a447118f..7e34f98bf433 100644 --- a/security/security.c +++ b/security/security.c @@ -514,16 +514,14 @@ int security_inode_permission(struct inode *inode, int mask) { if (unlikely(IS_PRIVATE(inode))) return 0; - return security_ops->inode_permission(inode, mask); + return security_ops->inode_permission(inode, mask, 0); } int security_inode_exec_permission(struct inode *inode, unsigned int flags) { if (unlikely(IS_PRIVATE(inode))) return 0; - if (flags) - return -ECHILD; - return security_ops->inode_permission(inode, MAY_EXEC); + return security_ops->inode_permission(inode, MAY_EXEC, flags); } int security_inode_setattr(struct dentry *dentry, struct iattr *attr) -- cgit v1.2.1
