The per-layer FAM in struct landlock_ruleset currently stores struct access_masks directly, but upcoming permission features (capability and namespace restrictions) need additional per-layer data beyond the handled-access bitfields. Introduce struct layer_config as a wrapper around struct access_masks and rename the FAM from access_masks[] to layers[]. This makes room for future per-layer fields (e.g. allowed bitmasks) without modifying struct access_masks itself, which is also used as a lightweight parameter type for functions that only need the handled-access bitfields. No functional change. Cc: Günther Noack <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Günther Noack <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Tingmao Wang <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Mickaël Salaün <[email protected]> --- Changes since v2: https://patch.msgid.link/[email protected] - The rebase required adopting the released check-time struct layer_masks and the new per-ruleset quiet_access (added by the base's merged quiet feature) and updating the struct landlock_ruleset @layers kdoc; struct layer_config already existed in v2. Changes since v1: https://patch.msgid.link/[email protected] - Add Reviewed-by: Tingmao Wang. - Address Günther Noack's review nits: - Clarify that _LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_INITIALLY_DENIED is ORed with the .handled field of all ruleset->layers[] entries (not the entries themselves). - Rename landlock_upgrade_handled_access_masks() to landlock_upgrade_handled_layer_config() to match the parameter type. - Rewrap the @layers kdoc in struct landlock_ruleset. - Rename struct layer_rights to struct layer_config: "config" is the more general term for per-layer state. - Add Reviewed-by: Günther Noack. --- security/landlock/access.h | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++--------- security/landlock/cred.h | 2 +- security/landlock/ruleset.c | 16 +++++++-------- security/landlock/ruleset.h | 39 ++++++++++++++++++------------------ security/landlock/syscalls.c | 2 +- 5 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 39 deletions(-) diff --git a/security/landlock/access.h b/security/landlock/access.h index d926078bf0a5..b4f79508729e 100644 --- a/security/landlock/access.h +++ b/security/landlock/access.h @@ -19,9 +19,9 @@ /* * All access rights that are denied by default whether they are handled or not - * by a ruleset/layer.
