Function smack_key_permission() only issues smack requests for the following operations: - KEY_NEED_READ (issues MAY_READ) - KEY_NEED_WRITE (issues MAY_WRITE) - KEY_NEED_LINK (issues MAY_WRITE) - KEY_NEED_SETATTR (issues MAY_WRITE) A blank smack request is issued in all other cases, resulting in smack access being granted if there is any rule defined between subject and object, or denied with -EACCES otherwise. Request MAY_READ access for KEY_NEED_SEARCH and KEY_NEED_VIEW. Fix the logic in the unlikely case when both MAY_READ and MAY_WRITE are needed. Validate access permission field for valid contents.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
