Eric assures me that this is ok +as the code checks to see if the dentry has been initialized already so calling +security_d_instantiate() against the same dentry multiple times is ok. With +this patch I'm no longer getting errant -EACCESS values. + +Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik +--- +V1->V2: +-added second security_d_instantiate() call + + fs/dcache.c | 3 +++ + 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) + +diff --git a/fs/dcache.c b/fs/dcache.c +index 23702a9..119d489 100644 +--- a/fs/dcache.c ++++ b/fs/dcache.c +@@ -1201,9 +1201,12 @@ struct dentry *d_obtain_alias(struct inode *inode) + spin_unlock(&tmp->d_lock); + + spin_unlock(&dcache_lock); ++ security_d_instantiate(tmp, inode); + return tmp; + + out_iput: ++ if (res && !IS_ERR(res)) ++ security_d_instantiate(res, inode); + iput(inode); + return res; + } +-- +1.6.6.1 + +-- +To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in +the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org +More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html + diff --git a/kernel.spec b/kernel.spec index 5911460f2..3733ca617 100644 --- a/kernel.spec +++ b/kernel.spec @@ -719,6 +719,8 @@ Patch12411: mm-vmstat-use-a-single-setter-function-and-callback-for-adjusting-pe # rhbz#650934 Patch12420: sched-cure-more-NO_HZ-load-average-woes.patch +Patch12421: fs-call-security_d_instantiate-in-d_obtain_alias.patch + %endif BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/kernel-%{KVERREL}-root @@ -1329,6 +1331,9 @@ ApplyPatch mm-vmstat-use-a-single-setter-function-and-callback-for-adjusting-per # rhbz#650934 ApplyPatch sched-cure-more-NO_HZ-load-average-woes.patch +# rhbz#662344,600690 +ApplyPatch fs-call-security_d_instantiate-in-d_obtain_alias.patch + # END OF PATCH APPLICATIONS %endif @@ -1942,6 +1947,9 @@ fi # || || %changelog +* Sat Dec 18 2010 Kyle McMartin +- Fix SELinux issues with NFS/btrfs and/or xfsdump.
