[RFC][PATCH] security/selinux: Simplify proc inode to security label mapping.

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Fri Nov 20 2009 - 14:01:33 EST



Currently selinux has incestuous knowledge of the implementation details
of procfs and sysctl that it uses to get a pathname from an inode. As it
happens the point we care is in the security_d_instantiate lsm hook so
we have a valid dentry that we can use to get the entire pathname on
the proc filesystem. With the recent change to sys_sysctl to go through
proc/sys all proc and sysctl accesses go through the vfs, which
means we no longer need a sysctl special case.

So get the path for the dentry, remove the incestuous knowledge
and simplify the code.

caveat: Because the dentry may not yet be hashed I think dentry_path will
append (deleted) and thus is not the right function to call.
