BPF filesystem kfuncs
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
BPF LSM programs need to access filesystem data from LSM hooks. The following
|
|
BPF kfuncs can be used to get these data.
|
|
|
|
* ``bpf_get_file_xattr()``
|
|
|
|
* ``bpf_get_fsverity_digest()``
|
|
|
|
To avoid recursions, these kfuncs follow the following rules:
|
|
|
|
1. These kfuncs are only permitted from BPF LSM function.
|
|
2. These kfuncs should not call into other LSM hooks, i.e. security_*(). For
|
|
example, ``bpf_get_file_xattr()`` does not use ``vfs_getxattr()``, because
|
|
the latter calls LSM hook ``security_inode_getxattr``.
