2008-01-30NetLabel: Remove unneeded RCU read locksPaul Moore
This patch removes some unneeded RCU read locks as we can treat the reads as "safe" even without RCU. It also converts the NetLabel configuration refcount from a spinlock protected u32 into atomic_t to be more consistent with the rest of the kernel.

2007-10-26[NetLabel]: correct usage of RCU lockingPaul Moore
This fixes some awkward, and perhaps even problematic, RCU lock usage in the NetLabel code as well as some other related trivial cleanups found when looking through the RCU locking. Most of the changes involve removing the redundant RCU read locks wrapping spinlocks in the case of a RCU writer. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-07-19SELinux: enable dynamic activation/deactivation of NetLabel/SELinux enforcementPaul Moore
Create a new NetLabel KAPI interface, netlbl_enabled(), which reports on the current runtime status of NetLabel based on the existing configuration. LSMs that make use of NetLabel, i.e. SELinux, can use this new function to determine if they should perform NetLabel access checks. This patch changes the NetLabel/SELinux glue code such that SELinux only enforces NetLabel related access checks when netlbl_enabled() returns true. At present NetLabel is considered to be enabled when there is at least one labeled protocol configuration present. The result is that by default NetLabel is considered to be disabled, however, as soon as an administrator configured a CIPSO DOI definition NetLabel is enabled and SELinux starts enforcing NetLabel related access controls - including unlabeled packet controls. This patch also tries to consolidate the multiple "#ifdef CONFIG_NETLABEL" blocks into a single block to ease future review as recommended by Linus.

2006-12-02[GENL]: Add genlmsg_put_reply() to simplify building reply headersThomas Graf
By modyfing genlmsg_put() to take a genl_family and by adding genlmsg_put_reply() the process of constructing the netlink and generic netlink headers is simplified.

2006-12-02[GENL]: Add genlmsg_reply() to simply unicast replies to requestsThomas Graf
A generic netlink user has no interest in knowing how to address the source of the original request. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Acked-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-12-02[NETLINK]: Do precise netlink message allocations where possibleThomas Graf
Account for the netlink message header size directly in nlmsg_new() instead of relying on the caller calculate it correctly. Replaces error handling of message construction functions when constructing notifications with bug traps since a failure implies a bug in calculating the size of the skb.

2006-09-29[NetLabel]: audit fixups due to delayed feedbackPaul Moore
Fix some issues Steve Grubb had with the way NetLabel was using the audit subsystem. This should make NetLabel more consistent with other kernel generated audit messages specifying configuration changes.

2006-09-22[NetLabel]: core NetLabel subsystemPaul Moore
Add a new kernel subsystem, NetLabel, to provide explicit packet labeling services (CIPSO, RIPSO, etc.) to LSM developers. NetLabel is designed to work in conjunction with a LSM to intercept and decode security labels on incoming network packets as well as ensure that outgoing network packets are labeled according to the security mechanism employed by the LSM. The NetLabel subsystem is configured through a Generic NETLINK interface described in the header files included in this patch. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
