From 963061dc11e762285a6c1825b9c09e48cc8c6f5f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vivek Goyal Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2022 15:48:13 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] virtiofsd: Add an option to enable/disable security label Provide an option "-o security_label/no_security_label" to enable/disable security label functionality. By default these are turned off. If enabled, server will indicate to client that it is capable of handling one security label during file creation. Typically this is expected to be a SELinux label. File server will set this label on the file. It will try to set it atomically wherever possible. But its not possible in all the cases.
