From e5a8b6446c0d370716f193771ccacf3260a57534 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Max Kellermann Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2024 13:50:05 +0000 Subject: cachefiles: Parse the "secctx" immediately Instead of storing an opaque string, call security_secctx_to_secid() right in the "secctx" command handler and store only the numeric "secid". This eliminates an unnecessary string allocation and allows the daemon to receive errors when writing the "secctx" command instead of postponing the error to the "bind" command handler. For example, if the kernel was built without `CONFIG_SECURITY`, "bind" will return `EOPNOTSUPP`, but the daemon doesn't know why. With this patch, the "secctx" will instead return `EOPNOTSUPP` which is the right context for this error. This patch adds a boolean flag `have_secid` because I'm not sure if we can safely assume that zero is the special secid value for "not set". This appears to be true for SELinux, Smack and AppArmor, but since this attribute is not documented, I'm unable to derive a stable guarantee for that.
