Subject: [PATCH] selinux: use GFP_ATOMIC in convert_context()

Message-ID: <20221018120111.1474581-1-gongruiqi1@huawei.com> (raw)

The following BUG_ON was triggered on a hardware environment:

  SELinux: Context system_u:object_r:pssp_rsyslog_log_t:s0:c0 is not valid (left unmapped).

It was found that convert_context() (hooked by convert->func) might
sleep in a critial section of spin_lock_irqsave in
sidtab_context_to_sid(). Fix this problem by changing the memory
allocation in convert_context() from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC.
