Hello,
This is repost of [L], rebased on top of the refreshed patches.
kernfs inherited "security.*" xattr support from sysfs but for it to be useable for cgroupfs, it needs to support "trusted.*" too. This patchset adds "trusted.*" xattr support using simple_xattr*().
Note that the existing "security.*" support is gimped in that it doesn't include remove/get/list. This patchset implements all operations for "trusted.*" but doesn't change "security.*" support.
David P. Quigley, can you please comment on this? It doesn't seem like adding it would be too difficult. Why don't we have it yet? Are they unnecessary?
This patchset contains the following two patches.
0001-kernfs-update-sysfs_init_inode_attrs.patch 0002-kernfs-implement-trusted.-xattr-support.patch
0001 preps and 0002 implements.
This patchset is on top of
v3.13-rc1 6ce4eac1f600 ("Linux 3.13-rc1") + [1] sysfs: handle duplicate removal attempts in sysfs_remove_group() + [2] sysfs: use a separate locking class for open files depending on mmap + [3] sysfs: separate out kernfs, take #3
and available in the following git branch.
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/misc.git review-kernfs-xattr
diffstat follows. Thanks.
