[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.5 182/542] selinux: fall back to ref-walk if audit is required

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Fri Feb 14 2020 - 13:13:19 EST


From: Stephen Smalley <sds@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 0188d5c025ca8fe756ba3193bd7d150139af5a88 ]

commit bda0be7ad994 ("security: make inode_follow_link RCU-walk aware")
passed down the rcu flag to the SELinux AVC, but failed to adjust the
test in slow_avc_audit() to also return -ECHILD on LSM_AUDIT_DATA_DENTRY.
Previously, we only returned -ECHILD if generating an audit record with
LSM_AUDIT_DATA_INODE since this was only relevant from inode_permission.
Move the handling of MAY_NOT_BLOCK to avc_audit() and its inlined
equivalent in selinux_inode_permission() immediately after we determine
that audit is required, and always fall back to ref-walk in this case.

Fixes: bda0be7ad994 ("security: make inode_follow_link RCU-walk aware")
