selinux: correct locking in selinux_netlbl_socket_connect)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The SELinux/NetLabel glue code has a locking bug that affects systems
with NetLabel enabled, see the kernel error message below.  This patch
corrects this problem by converting the bottom half socket lock to a
more conventional, and correct for this call-path, lock_sock() call.

 ===============================
 [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
 3.11.0-rc3+ #19 Not tainted
 -------------------------------
 net/ipv4/cipso_ipv4.c:1928 suspicious rcu_dereference_protected() usage!

 other info that might help us debug this:

 rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
 2 locks held by ping/731:
  #0:  (slock-AF_INET/1){+.-...}, at: [...] selinux_netlbl_socket_connect
  #1:  (rcu_read_lock){.+.+..}, at: [<...>] netlbl_conn_setattr
