[PATCH 3/7] security,overlayfs: Provide security hook for copy up of xattrs for overlay file

From: Vivek Goyal
Date: Fri Jul 08 2016 - 12:22:11 EST


Provide a security hook which is called when xattrs of a file are being
copied up. This hook is called once for each xattr and LSM can return 0
to access the xattr, 1 to reject xattr, -EOPNOTSUPP if none of the lsms
claim to know xattr and a negative error code if something went terribly
wrong.

If 0 or -EOPNOTSUPP is returned, xattr will be copied up, if 1 is returned,
xattr will not be copied up and if negative error code is returned, copy up
will be aborted.
