Reverse call graph of mls_context_to_sid():
mls_context_to_sid()
mls_from_string()
selinux_audit_rule_init()
[...]
string_to_context_struct()
security_context_to_sid_core()
[...]
convert_context()
[...]
string_to_context_struct() currently has the following code:
rc = mls_context_to_sid(pol, oldc, &p, ctx, sidtabp, def_sid);
if (rc)
goto out;
rc = -EINVAL;
if ((p - scontext) < scontext_len)
goto out;
In my patch, I tried to preserve the behavior of
string_to_context_struct(), at the expense of slightly changing the
behavior of selinux_audit_rule_init().
But if you think that's a bad idea or unnecessary, say so and I'll change it.
