+Subject: [PATCH] fs: call security_d_instantiate in d_obtain_alias V2
+Date: Thu, 18 Nov 2010 20:52:55 -0500

+
+While trying to track down some NFS problems with BTRFS, I kept noticing I was
+getting -EACCESS for no apparent reason. Eric Paris and printk() helped me
+figure out that it was SELinux that was giving me grief, with the following
+denial
+
+type=AVC msg=audit(1290013638.413:95): avc: denied { 0x800000 } for pid=1772
+comm="nfsd" name="" dev=sda1 ino=256 scontext=system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0
+tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=file
+
+Turns out this is because in d_obtain_alias if we can't find an alias we create
+one and do all the normal instantiation stuff, but we don't do the
+security_d_instantiate.
+
+Usually we are protected from getting a hashed dentry that hasn't yet run
+security_d_instantiate() by the parent's i_mutex, but obviously this isn't an
+option there, so in order to deal with the case that a second thread comes in
+and finds our new dentry before we get to run security_d_instantiate(), we go
+ahead and call it if we find a dentry already. Eric assures me that this is ok
+as the code checks to see if the dentry has been initialized already so calling
+security_d_instantiate() against the same dentry multiple times is ok. With
+this patch I'm no longer getting errant -EACCESS values.
