[PATCH] Make /proc/net a symlink on /proc/self/net (v3)

From: Pavel Emelyanov
Date: Fri Mar 07 2008 - 09:05:17 EST


Current /proc/net is done with so called "shadows", but current
implementation is broken and has little chances to get fixed.

The problem is that dentries subtree of /proc/net directory has
fancy revalidation rules to make processes living in different
net namespaces see different entries in /proc/net subtree, but
currently, tasks see in the /proc/net subdir the contents of any
other namespace, depending on who opened the file first.

The proposed fix is to turn /proc/net into a symlink, which points
to /proc/self/net, which in turn shows what previously was in
/proc/net - the network-related info, from the net namespace the
appropriate task lives in.

# ls -l /proc/net
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mar 5 15:17 /proc/net -> self/net

In other words - this behaves like /proc/mounts, but unlike
"mounts", "net" is not a file, but a directory.

Changes from v2:
* Fixed discrepancy of /proc/net nlink count and selinux labeling
screwup pointed out by Stephen.

To get the correct nlink count the ->getattr callback for /proc/net
is overridden to read one from the net->proc_net entry.

To make selinux still work the net->proc_net entry is initialized
properly, i.e. with the "net" name and the proc_net parent.

Selinux fixes are

Changes from v1:
* Fixed a task_struct leak in get_proc_task_net, pointed out by Paul.
