From 1b8b31a2e6120b7b2bc99137c0ba1ae3e45dbd7d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Smalley Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2020 15:45:16 -0400 Subject: selinux: convert policy read-write lock to RCU Convert the policy read-write lock to RCU. This is significantly simplified by the earlier work to encapsulate the policy data structures and refactor the policy load and boolean setting logic. Move the latest_granting sequence number into the selinux_policy structure so that it can be updated atomically with the policy. Since removing the policy rwlock and moving latest_granting reduces the selinux_ss structure to nothing more than a wrapper around the selinux_policy pointer, get rid of the extra layer of indirection. At present this change merely passes a hardcoded 1 to rcu_dereference_check() in the cases where we know we do not need to take rcu_read_lock(), with the preceding comment explaining why. Alternatively we could pass fsi->mutex down from selinuxfs and apply a lockdep check on it instead. Based in part on earlier attempts to convert the policy rwlock to RCU by Kaigai Kohei [1] and by Peter Enderborg [2].
