SELinux Mailing ListRe: [PATCH 1/2] VFS: Factor out part of vfs_setxattr so it can be called from the SELinux hook for inode_setsecctx.

> Yea, I didn't get to read the rest of the emails before I responded to So what is the desired behavior of these two calls in the case where on-disk and inode secctx are in lockstep? Does "notify" imply "set" in this case? What about the case where there is no "disk", as is the case for virtual filesystems? Would "set" imply "notify" in this case? I think that if the answer to these questions is "it will never come up because it's only for NFS" what you have is an NFS specific interface in the LSM. That may be OK, but it ain't pretty. On the other hand, NFS is sufficiently important that a little ugly may be a price worth paying.
