1) Add a security_sb_kern_mount hook call to the do_kern_mount
function. This hook enables initialization of the superblock security
information of all superblock objects. Placing a hook in
do_kern_mount was originally suggested by Al Viro. This hook is used
by SELinux to setup the superblock security state and eliminated the
need for the superblock_precondition function.
2) Remove the security_inode_post_lookup hook entirely and add a
security_d_instantiate hook call to the d_instantiate function and the
d_splice_alias function. The inode_post_lookup hook was subject to
races since the inode is already accessible through the dcache before
it is called, didn't handle filesystems that directly populate the
dcache, and wasn't always called in the desired context (e.g. for
pipe, shmem, and devpts inodes). The d_instantiate hook enables
initialization of the inode security information. This hook is used
by SELinux and by DTE to setup the inode security state, and
eliminated the need for the inode_precondition function in SELinux.
3) Add a security_file_alloc call to init_private_file and create a
release_private_file function to encapsulate release of private file
structures. These changes ensure that security structures for private
files will be allocated and freed appropriately.
If anyone has any objections to these changes, please let me know.
