From 5101a1850bb7ccbf107929dee9af0cd2f400940f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mimi Zohar Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2015 13:59:31 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] evm: labeling pseudo filesystems exception To prevent offline stripping of existing file xattrs and relabeling of them at runtime, EVM allows only newly created files to be labeled. As pseudo filesystems are not persistent, stripping of xattrs is not a concern. Some LSMs defer file labeling on pseudo filesystems. This patch permits the labeling of existing files on pseudo files systems.
