#1439631 — [PATCH 3/7] security,overlayfs: Provide security hook for copy up of xattrs for overlay file

Provide a security hook which is called when xattrs of a file are being
copied up. This hook is called once for each xattr and LSM can return 0
to access the xattr, 1 to reject xattr, -EOPNOTSUPP if none of the lsms
claim to know xattr and a negative error code if something went terribly
wrong.

If 0 or -EOPNOTSUPP is returned, xattr will be copied up, if 1 is returned,
xattr will not be copied up and if negative error code is returned, copy up
will be aborted.

These patches should be applied on top of overlayfs-next branch of
miklos's vfs tree.

Typo. No "return" keyword. Fixed in attached patch.


Subject: security,overlayfs: Provide security hook for copy up of xattrs for overlay file

Provide a security hook which is called when xattrs of a file are being
copied up. This hook is called once for each xattr and LSM can return 0
to access the xattr, 1 to reject xattr, -EOPNOTSUPP if none of the lsms
claim to know xattr and a negative error code if something went terribly
wrong.

If 0 or -EOPNOTSUPP is returned, xattr will be copied up, if 1 is returned,
xattr will not be copied up and if negative error code is returned, copy up
will be aborted.

0 if the security module wants the xattr to be copied up, 1 if the
security module wants the xattr to be discarded on the copy, -EOPNOTSUPP
if the security module does not handle/manage the xattr, or a -errno
upon an error.

Not sure I understand the benefit of the 0 vs -EOPNOTSUPP distinction.
