smack: fix bug: invalid label of unix socket file
According to [1], the label of a UNIX domain socket (UDS) file (i.e., the filesystem object representing the socket) is not supposed to participate in Smack security. To achieve this, [1] labels UDS files with "*" in smack_d_instantiate(). Before [2], smack_d_instantiate() was responsible for initializing Smack security for all inodes, except ones under /proc [2] imposed the sole responsibility for initializing inode security for newly created filesystem objects on smack_inode_init_security(). However, smack_inode_init_security() lacks some logic present in smack_d_instantiate(). In particular, it does not label UDS files with "*". This patch adds the missing labeling of UDS files with "*" to smack_inode_init_security(). Labeling UDS files with "*" in smack_d_instantiate() still works for stale UDS files that already exist on disk. Stale UDS files are useless, but I keep labeling them for consistency and maybe to make easier for user to delete them. Compared to [1], this version introduces the following improvements: * UDS file label is held inside inode only and not saved to xattrs. * relabeling UDS files (setxattr, removexattr, etc.) is blocked.
