From 50462062a02226a698a211d5bd535376c89b8603 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Dobriyan Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 02:00:01 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] fs.h: ifdef security fields [assuming BSD security levels are deleted] The only user of i_security, f_security, s_security fields is SELinux, however, quite a few security modules are trying to get into kernel. So, wrap them under CONFIG_SECURITY. Adding config option for each security field is likely an overkill. Following Stephen Smalley's suggestion, i_security initialization is moved to security_inode_alloc() to not clutter core code with ifdefs and make alloc_inode() codepath tiny little bit smaller and faster. The user of (highly greppable) struct fown_struct::security field is still to be found. I've checked every "fown_struct" and every "f_owner" occurence. Additionally it's removal doesn't break i386 allmodconfig build. struct inode, struct file, struct super_block, struct fown_struct become smaller. P.S. Combined with two reiserfs inode shrinking patches sent to linux-fsdevel, I can finally suck 12 reiserfs inodes into one page. /proc/slabinfo -ext2_inode_cache 388 10 +ext2_inode_cache 384 10 -inode_cache 280 14 +inode_cache 276 14 -proc_inode_cache 296 13 +proc_inode_cache 292 13 -reiser_inode_cache 336 11 +reiser_inode_cache 332 12 <= -shmem_inode_cache 372 10 +shmem_inode_cache 368 10 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Cc: Stephen Smalley Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- fs/inode.c | 1 - include/linux/fs.h | 8 ++++++-- include/linux/security.h | 1 + 3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/inode.c b/fs/inode.c index f5c04dd9ae8a..abf77471e6c4 100644 --- a/fs/inode.c +++ b/fs/inode.c @@ -133,7 +133,6 @@ static struct inode *alloc_inode(struct super_block *sb) inode->i_bdev = NULL; inode->i_cdev = NULL; inode->i_rdev = 0; - inode->i_security = NULL; inode->dirtied_when = 0; if (security_inode_alloc(inode)) { if (inode->i_sb->s_op->destroy_inode) diff --git a/include/linux/fs.h b/include/linux/fs.h index 4caec6cebc42..6eafbe309483 100644 --- a/include/linux/fs.h +++ b/include/linux/fs.h @@ -553,7 +553,9 @@ struct inode { unsigned int i_flags; atomic_t i_writecount; +#ifdef CONFIG_SECURITY void *i_security; +#endif void *i_private; /* fs or device private pointer */ #ifdef __NEED_I_SIZE_ORDERED seqcount_t i_size_seqcount; @@ -645,7 +647,6 @@ struct fown_struct { rwlock_t lock; /* protects pid, uid, euid fields */ int pid; /* pid or -pgrp where SIGIO should be sent */ uid_t uid, euid; /* uid/euid of process setting the owner */ - void *security; int signum; /* posix.1b rt signal to be delivered on IO */ }; @@ -688,8 +689,9 @@ struct file { struct file_ra_state f_ra; unsigned long f_version; +#ifdef CONFIG_SECURITY void *f_security; - +#endif /* needed for tty driver, and maybe others */ void *private_data; @@ -877,7 +879,9 @@ struct super_block { int s_syncing; int s_need_sync_fs; atomic_t s_active; +#ifdef CONFIG_SECURITY void *s_security; +#endif struct xattr_handler **s_xattr; struct list_head s_inodes; /* all inodes */ diff --git a/include/linux/security.h b/include/linux/security.h index 9f56fb8a4a6c..9b5fea81f55e 100644 --- a/include/linux/security.h +++ b/include/linux/security.h @@ -1595,6 +1595,7 @@ static inline void security_sb_post_pivotroot (struct nameidata *old_nd, static inline int security_inode_alloc (struct inode *inode) { + inode->i_security = NULL; return security_ops->inode_alloc_security (inode); } -- 2.20.1
