    LSM: general protection fault in legacy_parse_param · ecff3057
    Casey Schaufler authored
    The usual LSM hook "bail on fail" scheme doesn't work for cases where
    a security module may return an error code indicating that it does not
    recognize an input.  In this particular case Smack sees a mount option
    that it recognizes, and returns 0. A call to a BPF hook follows, which
    returns -ENOPARAM, which confuses the caller because Smack has processed
    its data.
    
    The SELinux hook incorrectly returns 1 on success. There was a time
    when this was correct, however the current expectation is that it
    return 0 on success. This is repaired.
