The previous commit enabled the +second part of this process; this commit enables the first part. + +[1] https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/94 + +Acked-by: Stephen Smalley +Signed-off-by: Jonathan Lebon +Signed-off-by: Paul Moore +--- + security/selinux/hooks.c | 7 ++++++- + 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) + +diff --git a/security/selinux/hooks.c b/security/selinux/hooks.c +index efa6108b1ce9..ca901025802a 100644 +--- a/security/selinux/hooks.c ++++ b/security/selinux/hooks.c +@@ -3332,7 +3332,12 @@ static int selinux_inode_getsecurity(struct inode *inode, const char *name, void + char *context = NULL; + struct inode_security_struct *isec; + +- if (strcmp(name, XATTR_SELINUX_SUFFIX)) ++ /* ++ * If we're not initialized yet, then we can't validate contexts, so ++ * just let vfs_getxattr fall back to using the on-disk xattr. ++ */ ++ if (!selinux_initialized(&selinux_state) || ++ strcmp(name, XATTR_SELINUX_SUFFIX)) + return -EOPNOTSUPP; + + /* +-- +cgit 1.2.3-1.el7 -- cgit v1.2.3
