fs: take the ACL checks to common code

2011-07-25T18:30:23+00:00

Replace the ->check_acl method with a ->get_acl method that simply reads an ACL from disk after having a cache miss. This means we can replace the ACL checking boilerplate code with a single implementation in namei.c. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Al Viro

jffs2: fix IN_DELETE_SELF on overwriting rename() killing a directory

2011-07-22T23:42:11+00:00

We don't generate IN_DELETE_SELF on victim of overwriting rename() if it happens to be a directory. Trivially fixed by doing to ->i_nlink what we do ->pino_nlink a couple of lines later in jffs2_rename(). Signed-off-by: Al Viro

vfs: push dentry_unhash on rename_dir into file systems

2011-05-26T11:26:48+00:00

Only a few file systems need this. Start by pushing it down into each rename method (except gfs2 and xfs) so that it can be dealt with on a per-fs basis. Acked-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Sage Weil Signed-off-by: Al Viro

fs/vfs/security: pass last path component to LSM on inode creation

2011-02-01T16:12:29+00:00

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. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris
