2008-10-10selinux: Cache NetLabel secattrs in the socket's security structPaul Moore
Previous work enabled the use of address based NetLabel selectors, which while highly useful, brought the potential for additional per-packet overhead when used. This patch attempts to mitigate some of that overhead by caching the NetLabel security attribute struct within the SELinux socket security structure. This should help eliminate the need to recreate the NetLabel secattr structure for each packet resulting in less overhead.

2008-10-10selinux: Set socket NetLabel based on connection endpointPaul Moore
Previous work enabled the use of address based NetLabel selectors, which while highly useful, brought the potential for additional per-packet overhead when used. This patch attempts to solve that by applying NetLabel socket labels when sockets are connect()'d. This should alleviate the per-packet NetLabel labeling for all connected sockets (yes, it even works for connected DGRAM sockets).

2008-10-10netlabel: Add functionality to set the security attributes of a packetPaul Moore
This patch builds upon the new NetLabel address selector functionality by providing the NetLabel KAPI and CIPSO engine support needed to enable the new packet-based labeling. The only new addition to the NetLabel KAPI at this point is shown below: * int netlbl_skbuff_setattr(skb, family, secattr) ... and is designed to be called from a Netfilter hook after the packet's IP header has been populated such as in the FORWARD or LOCAL_OUT hooks. This patch also provides the necessary SELinux hooks to support this new functionality. Smack support is not currently included due to uncertainty regarding the permissions needed to expand the Smack network access controls.

2008-10-10selinux: Fix missing calls to netlbl_skbuff_err()Paul Moore
At some point I think I messed up and dropped the calls to netlbl_skbuff_err() which are necessary for CIPSO to send error notifications to remote systems. This patch re-introduces the error handling calls into the SELinux code. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Acked-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

This patch changes netlabel.h to fix whitespace and syntax issues. Things that are fixed may include (does not not have to include) spaces used instead of tabs Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
2008-04-18SELinux: Correct the NetLabel locking for the sk_security_structPaul Moore
The RCU/spinlock locking approach for the nlbl_state in the sk_security_struct was almost certainly overkill. This patch removes both the RCU and spinlock locking, relying on the existing socket locks to handle the case of multiple writers. This change also makes several code reductions possible. Less locking, less code - it's a Good Thing. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
2008-01-30SELinux: Allow NetLabel to directly cache SIDsPaul Moore
Now that the SELinux NetLabel "base SID" is always the netmsg initial SID we can do a big optimization - caching the SID and not just the MLS attributes. This not only saves a lot of per-packet memory allocations and copies but it has a nice side effect of removing a chunk of code.

2008-01-30SELinux: Better integration between peer labeling subsystemsPaul Moore
Rework the handling of network peer labels so that the different peer labeling subsystems work better together. This includes moving both subsystems to a single "peer" object class which involves not only changes to the permission checks but an improved method of consolidating multiple packet peer labels. As part of this work the inbound packet permission check code has been heavily modified to handle both the old and new behavior in as sane a fashion as possible.

2008-01-30NetLabel: Add IP address family information to the netlbl_skbuff_getattr() ↵Paul Moore
function In order to do any sort of IP header inspection of incoming packets we need to know which address family, AF_INET/AF_INET6/etc., it belongs to and since the sk_buff structure does not store this information we need to pass along the address family separate from the packet itself.

2007-04-26SELinux: rename selinux_netlabel.h to netlabel.hPaul Moore
In the beginning I named the file selinux_netlabel.h to avoid potential namespace colisions. However, over time I have realized that there are several other similar cases of multiple header files with the same name so I'm changing the name to something which better fits with existing naming conventions.
