SubjectRe: [PATCH 1/5] PM / hibernate: Create snapshot keys handler
Hi Jann,

Thanks for your review and very sorry for my delay!

Thank you for point out this problem.

Actually the evm_write_key() is the example for my code. The
difference is that evm creates interface file on securityfs, but my
implementation is on sysfs:

security/integrity/evm/evm_secfs.c

static ssize_t evm_write_key(struct file *file, const char __user *buf,
size_t count, loff_t *ppos)
{
int i, ret;

if (!capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) || (evm_initialized & EVM_SETUP))
return -EPERM;
...

On the other hand, the writing handler of /sys/power/wake_lock also
uses capable() to check the CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND capability:

kernel/power/main.c
static ssize_t wake_lock_store(struct kobject *kobj,
struct kobj_attribute *attr,
const char *buf, size_t n)
{
int error = pm_wake_lock(buf);
return error ? error : n;
}
power_attr(wake_lock);

kernel/power/wakelock.c
int pm_wake_lock(const char *buf)
{
...
if (!capable(CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND))
return -EPERM;
...


So I confused for when can capable() be used in sysfs interface? Is
capable() only allowed in reading handler? Why the writing handler
of securityfs can use capable()?

The evm_write_key() also uses request_key() but it's on securityfs. Should
I move my sysfs interface to securityfs?

Because I want that only one decrypted key in kernel memory. Then hibernation
can handle the key more easy. In evm_init_key(), it also burned the key
contents after evm key be initialled:

security/integrity/evm/evm_crypto.c
int evm_init_key(void)
{
[...snip]
/* burn the original key contents */
memset(ekp->decrypted_data, 0, ekp->decrypted_datalen);
up_read(&evm_key->sem);
key_put(evm_key);
return rc;
}

The keys subsystem already handles the interactive with userland and TPM.
That's the reason for using keys subsystem in hibernation.

Thanks for your reminding. I will add memory barrier here.


Thank a lot!
