When a new inode is created, send its security context to server along with
creation request (FUSE_CREAT, FUSE_MKNOD, FUSE_MKDIR and FUSE_SYMLINK).
This gives server an opportunity to create new file and set security
context (possibly atomically). In all the configurations it might not be
possible to set context atomically.
Like nfs and ceph, use security_dentry_init_security() to dermine security
context of inode and send it with create, mkdir, mknod, and symlink
requests.
Following is the information sent to server.
fuse_sectx_header, fuse_secctx, xattr_name, security_context
- struct fuse_secctx_header
This contains total number of security contexts being sent and total
size of all the security contexts (including size of
fuse_secctx_header).
- struct fuse_secctx
This contains size of security context which follows this structure.
There is one fuse_secctx instance per security context.
- xattr name string
This string represents name of xattr which should be used while setting
security context.
- security context
This is the actual security context whose size is specified in
fuse_secctx struct.
Also add the FUSE_SECURITY_CTX flag for the `flags` field of the
fuse_init_out struct. When this flag is set the kernel will append the
security context for a newly created inode to the request (create, mkdir,
mknod, and symlink). The server is responsible for ensuring that the inode
appears atomically (preferrably) with the requested security context.
For example, If the server is using SELinux and backed by a "real" linux
file system that supports extended attributes it can write the security
context value to /proc/thread-self/attr/fscreate before making the syscall
to create the inode.
