Subject: [PATCH] vfs: fix IMA lockdep circular locking dependency

From: Mimi Zohar <zohar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

This patch has been updated to move the ima_file_mmap() call from
security_file_mmap() to the new vm_mmap() function.

---

The circular lockdep is caused by allocating the 'iint' for mmapped
files.  Originally when an 'iint' was allocated for every inode
in inode_alloc_security(), before the inode was accessible, no
locking was necessary.  Commits bc7d2a3e and 196f518 changed this
behavior and allocated the 'iint' on a per need basis, resulting in
the mmap_sem being taken before the i_mutex for mmapped files.

Possible unsafe locking scenario:
       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
lock(&mm->mmap_sem);
                              lock(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key);
                              lock(&mm->mmap_sem);
lock(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key);

The existing security_file_mmap() hook is after the mmap_sem is taken.
This patch moves the ima_file_mmap() call from security_file_mmap() to
prior to the mmap_sem being taken.

Changelog v2:
- With commit "6be5ceb VM: add "vm_mmap()" helper function", moving the
ima_file_mmap() call is simplified.  This patch moves the ima_file_mmap()
call to vm_mmap(), and to binfmt_elf.c: elf_map().

Changelog v1:
- Instead of just pre-allocating the iint in a new hook, do ALL of the
work in the new/moved ima_file_mmap() hook. (Based on Eric Paris' suggestion.)
- Removed do_mmap_with_sem() helper function.
- export ima_file_mmap()
