[PATCH v3 04/11] lsm: inode_pre_setxattr hook

From: Lukasz Pawelczyk
Date: Fri Jul 24 2015 - 06:08:55 EST


Add a new LSM hook called before inode's setxattr. It is required for
LSM to be able to reliably replace the xattr's value to be set to
filesystem in __vfs_setxattr_noperm(). Useful for mapped values, like in
the upcoming Smack namespace patches.
