PATCH 1/1 SELinux: Create a common helper to determine an inode label [ver #3]

Create a common helper function to determine the label for a new inode. This is then used by:

- may_create()
- selinux_dentry_init_security()
- selinux_inode_init_security()

This will change the behaviour of the functions slightly, bringing them all into line.

This patch looks fine to me and I think there is an advantage to merging this regardless of what happens with the "unioning" work so I'm inclined to queue this up now unless you would prefer to resubmit with the union patches?

libselinux equivalent of restorecon -F

Please excuse my ignorance, and please bear with me for a moment:

I would consider lsetfilecon() functionality roughly the same to that of "restorecon" (in a sense at least).

Which libselinux interface would be provide roughly the same functionality to that of "restorecon -F" (in a sense at least) ?

Is that what selinux_lsetfilecon_default() is for?

Thanks

Yes, that's probably the closest equivalent in upstream libselinux. However, in Android libselinux [1], we have a selinux_android_restorecon() function that fully replicates restorecon functionality. We should likely take a version of that to upstream libselinux. Interface is:
#define SELINUX_ANDROID_RESTORECON_NOCHANGE 1

#define SELINUX_ANDROID_RESTORECON_VERBOSE  2
#define SELINUX_ANDROID_RESTORECON_RECURSE  4
#define SELINUX_ANDROID_RESTORECON_FORCE    8

#define SELINUX_ANDROID_RESTORECON_DATADATA 16
extern int selinux_android_restorecon(const char *file, unsigned int flags);

All set. As soon as the merge window closes I'll push it to the selinux#next branch.
