When an NFSv4 client performs a mount operation, it first mounts the NFSv4 root and then does path walk to the exported path and performs a submount on that, cloning the security mount options from the root's superblock to the submount's superblock in the process. Unless the NFS server has an explicit fsid=0 export with the "security_label" option, the NFSv4 root superblock will not have SBLABEL_MNT set, and neither will the submount superblock after cloning the security mount options. As a result, setxattr's of security labels over NFSv4.2 will fail. In a similar fashion, NFSv4.2 mounts mounted with the context= mount option will not show the correct labels because the nfs_server->caps flags of the cloned superblock will still have NFS_CAP_SECURITY_LABEL set. Allowing the NFSv4 client to enable or disable SECURITY_LSM_NATIVE_LABELS behavior will ensure that the SBLABEL_MNT flag has the correct value when the client traverses from an exported path without the "security_label" option to one with the "security_label" option and vice versa. Similarly, checking to see if SECURITY_LSM_NATIVE_LABELS is set upon return from security_sb_clone_mnt_opts() and clearing NFS_CAP_SECURITY_LABEL if necessary will allow the correct labels to be displayed for NFSv4.2 mounts mounted with the context= mount option.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
