Documentation/bpf: Add documentation for filesystem kfuncs
Add a brief introduction for file system kfuncs: bpf_get_file_xattr() bpf_get_fsverity_digest() The documentation highlights the strategy to avoid recursions of these kfuncs.

BPF filesystem kfuncs
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
BPF LSM programs need to access filesystem data from LSM hooks. The following
|
||||
BPF kfuncs can be used to get these data.
|
||||
|
||||
* ``bpf_get_file_xattr()``
|
||||
|
||||
* ``bpf_get_fsverity_digest()``
|
||||
|
||||
To avoid recursions, these kfuncs follow the following rules:
|
||||
|
||||
1. These kfuncs are only permitted from BPF LSM function.
|
||||
2. These kfuncs should not call into other LSM hooks, i.e. security_*(). For
|
||||
example, ``bpf_get_file_xattr()`` does not use ``vfs_getxattr()``, because
|
||||
the latter calls LSM hook ``security_inode_getxattr``.
