30 * struct landlock_object - Security blob tied to a kernel object
32 * The goal of this structure is to enable to tie a set of ephemeral access
33 * rights (pertaining to different domains) to a kernel object (e.g an inode)
34 * in a safe way. This implies to handle concurrent use and modification.
36 * The lifetime of a &struct landlock_object depends on the rules referring to
39 struct landlock_object {
41 * @usage: This counter is used to tie an object to the rules matching
42 * it or to keep it alive while adding a new rule. If this counter
43 * reaches zero, this struct must not be modified, but this counter can
44 * still be read from within an RCU read-side critical section. When
45 * adding a new rule to an object with a usage counter of zero, we must
46 * wait until the pointer to this object is set to NULL (or recycled).
50 * @lock: Protects against concurrent modifications. This lock must be
51 * held from the time @usage drops to zero until any weak references
52 * from @underobj to this object have been cleaned up.
54 * Lock ordering: inode->i_lock nests inside this.
58 * @underobj: Used when cleaning up an object and to mark an object as
59 * tied to its underlying kernel structure. This pointer is protected
60 * by @lock. Cf. landlock_release_inodes() and release_inode().
65 * @rcu_free: Enables lockless use of @usage, @lock and
66 * @underobj from within an RCU read-side critical section.
67 * @rcu_free and @underops are only used by
68 * landlock_put_object().
70 struct rcu_head rcu_free;
72 * @underops: Enables landlock_put_object() to release the
73 * underlying object (e.g. inode).
