Could you review this? I've added ATTR_TIMES_SET to check explicit

[I'm not sure this handles notify_change() usage of nfsd (and perhaps
other network fs too) correctly, and whether selinux may want to check
it. I guess network fs _may_ try to change the multiple attributes at a
time. Well, even if it's true, it would be another topic...]


Ah, according to the discussion here, I know I misunderstood ATTR_FORCE... sorry.

As suggested by OGAWA Hirofumi in thread: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/8/7/132,
we should let selinux_inode_setattr() to match our ATTR_* rules.
ATTR_FORCE should not force things like ATTR_SIZE.

So if I read this correctly, (ATTR_FORCE| ATTR_KILL_SUID|ATTR_MODE) will not return here, since 'ia_valid' will be ATTR_FORCE finally.

I think you forgot to clear ATTR_FORCE here...

return dentry_has_perm(cred, NULL, dentry, FILE__WRITE);

I am not sure about ATTR_TIMES_SET here, but looks fine. :-/
