     here, the rest of the LSM folks have given the hooks a thumbs-up.

Note that in fnsotify_move() and fsnotify_link() we are guaranteed
that dentry-&gt;d_name won't change during the fsnotify() evaluation
(by having the parent directory locked exclusive), so we don't
need to fetch dentry-&gt;d_name.name in the callers.  In fsnotify_dirent()
the same stability of dentry-&gt;d_name is also true, but it's a bit
more convoluted - there is one callchain (devpts_pty_new() -&gt;
fsnotify_create() -&gt; fsnotify_dirent()) where the parent is _not_
locked, but on devpts -&gt;d_name of everything is unchanging; it
has neither explicit nor implicit renames.

The implementation of kernfs_security_xattr_*() helpers reuses the
kernfs_node_xattr_*() functions, which take the suffix of the xattr name
and extract full xattr name from it using xattr_full_name(). However,
this function relies on the fact that the suffix passed to xattr
handlers from VFS is always constructed from the full name by just
incerementing the pointer. This doesn't necessarily hold for the callers
of kernfs_security_xattr_*(), so their usage will easily lead to
out-of-bounds access.

Fix this by moving the xattr name reconstruction to the VFS xattr
handlers and replacing the kernfs_security_xattr_*() helpers with more
general kernfs_xattr_*() helpers that take full xattr name and allow
accessing all kernfs node's xattrs.

Use the new security_kernfs_init_security() hook to allow LSMs to
possibly assign a non-default security context to a newly created kernfs
node based on the attributes of the new node and also its parent node.

This fixes an issue with cgroupfs under SELinux, where newly created
cgroup subdirectories/files would not inherit its parent's context if
it had been set explicitly to a non-default value (other than the genfs
context specified by the policy). This can be reproduced as follows (on
Fedora/RHEL):

    # mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/test
    # # Need permissive to change the label under Fedora policy:
    # setenforce 0
    # chcon -t container_file_t /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/test
    # ls -lZ /sys/fs/cgroup/unified

<title>LSM: add new hook for kernfs node initialization</title>

<id>b230d5aba2d1a7b0636408889a75bf9eae6b8bc7</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch introduces a new security hook that is intended for
initializing the security data for newly created kernfs nodes, which
provide a way of storing a non-default security context, but need to
operate independently from mounts (and therefore may not have an
associated inode at the moment of creation).

The main motivation is to allow kernfs nodes to inherit the context of
the parent under SELinux, similar to the behavior of
security_inode_init_security(). Other LSMs may implement their own logic
for handling the creation of new nodes.

This patch also adds helper functions to &lt;linux/kernfs.h&gt; for
getting/setting security xattrs of a kernfs node so that LSMs hooks are
able to do their job. Other important attributes should be accessible
direcly in the kernfs_node fields (in case there is need for more, then
new helpers should be added to kernfs.h along with the patch that needs
them).

<title>kernfs: use simple_xattrs for security attributes</title>

Replace the special handling of security xattrs with simple_xattrs, as
is already done for the trusted xattrs. This simplifies the code and
allows LSMs to use more than just a single xattr to do their business.
