From: Jann Horn jannh@google.com Date: Thu, 28 Jun 2018 20:39:54 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] selinux: move user accesses in selinuxfs out of locked regions
If a user is accessing a file in selinuxfs with a pointer to a userspace buffer that is backed by e.g. a userfaultfd, the userspace access can stall indefinitely, which can block fsi->mutex if it is held.
For sel_read_policy(), remove the locking, since this method doesn't seem to access anything that requires locking.
For sel_read_bool(), move the user access below the locked region.
For sel_write_bool() and sel_commit_bools_write(), move the user access up above the locked region.
