Remove the BKL usage added in "block: push down BKL into .locked_ioctl". Virtio-blk doesn't use the BKL for anything, and doesn't implement any ioctl command by itself, but only uses the generic scsi_cmd_ioctl which is fine without the BKL.

The ports are char devices; do not have seeking capabilities. Calling nonseekable_open() from the fops_open() call and setting the llseek fops pointer to no_llseek ensures an lseek() call from userspace returns -ESPIPE.

Amit Shah authored
A process can request for SIGIO on host connect / disconnect events using the O_ASYNC file flag using fcntl(). If that's requested, and if the guest-side connection for the port is open, any host-side open/close events for that port will raise a SIGIO. The process can then use poll() within the signal handler to find out which port triggered the signal.

Explain in a comment why there's no need to reference-count the portdev struct: when a device is yanked out, we can't do anything more with it anyway so just give up doing anything more with the data or the vqs and exit cleanly.

Amit Shah authored
When a port got hot-unplugged, when a port was open, any file operation after the unplugging resulted in a crash. This is fixed by ref-counting the port structure, and releasing it only when the file is closed. This splits the unplug operation in two parts: first marks the port as unavailable, removes all the buffers in the vqs and removes the port from the per-device list of ports. The second stage, invoked when all references drop to zero, releases the chardev and frees all other memory.

This moves to using cdev on the heap instead of it being embedded in the ports struct. This helps individual refcounting and will allow us to properly remove cdev structs after hot-unplugs and close operations.

To convert to using cdev as a pointer to avoid kref troubles, we have to use a different method to get to a port from an inode than the current container_of method. Add find_port_by_devt() that looks up all portdevs and ports with those portdevs to find the right port.

There is interest in being able to see what the actual policy is that was loaded into the kernel. The patch creates a new selinuxfs file /selinux/policy which can be read by userspace.

AVTAB_MAX_SIZE was a define which was supposed to be used in userspace to define a maximally sized avtab when userspace wasn't sure how big of a table it needed. It doesn't make sense in the kernel since we always know our table sizes. The only place it is used we have a more appropiately named define called AVTAB_MAX_HASH_BUCKETS, use that instead.

The roundup() helper function will round a given value up to a multiple of another given value. aka roundup(11, 7) would give 14 = 7 * 2. This new function does the opposite. It will round a given number down to the nearest multiple of the second number: rounddown(11, 7) would give 7. I need this in some future SELinux code and can carry the macro myself, but figured I would put it in the core kernel so others might find and use it if need be.

The conntrack code can export the internal secid to userspace. These are dynamic, can change on lsm changes, and have no meaning in userspace. We should instead be sending lsm contexts to userspace instead. This patch sends the secctx (rather than secid) to userspace over the netlink socket. We use a new field CTA_SECCTX and stop using the the old CTA_SECMARK field since it did not send particularly useful information.

With the (long ago) interface change to have the secid_to_secctx functions do the string allocation instead of having the caller do the allocation we lost the ability to query the security server for the length of the upcoming string. The SECMARK code would like to allocate a netlink skb with enough length to hold the string but it is just too unclean to do the string allocation twice or to do the allocation the first time and hold onto the string and slen. This patch adds the ability to call security_secid_to_secctx() with a NULL data pointer and it will just set the slen pointer.
