27.Dt VOP_SETLABEL 9
28.Os
29.Sh NAME
30.Nm VOP_SETLABEL
31.Nd persistently store an updated MAC label on a vnode
32.Sh SYNOPSIS
33.In sys/param.h
34.In sys/vnode.h
35.In security/mac.h
36.Ft int
37.Fn VOP_SETLABEL "struct vnode *vp" "label *label"
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39This vnode call is made by
40.Xr mac 9
41file relabeling operation has been authorized, and the filesystem must now be
42updated.
43.Ss Single-Label vs. Multi-Label Filesystems
44Filesystems that do not implement per-file labels -- known as single-label
45filesystems -- can simply leave the
46.Xr vnode 9
47operation undefined.
48These filesystems must not set the
49.Dv MNT_MULTLABEL
50flag in their
51.Vt struct mount .
52.Pp
53Filesystems that do implement per-vnode label storage -- known as multi-label
54filesystems -- will set the
55.Dv MNT_MULTILABEL
56flag in their
57.Vt struct mount .
58The UFS filesystem uses a superblock flag to persisently configure whether a
59specific filesystem implements a label for each
60.Xr vnode 9 ,
61and then keys various behaviors on whether that flag is set.
62.Ss Extended Attributes
63If the filesystem implements extended attributes, then the MAC Framework's
64.Fn vop_stdsetlabel_ea
65function can be used, and maps operations into a series of
66.Xr VOP_OPENEXTATTR 9 ,
67.Xr VOP_WRITEEXTATTR 9 ,
68and
69.Xr VOP_CLOSEEXTATTR 9 .
70.Pp
71Filesystems will also need to call
72.Fn mac_vnode_create_extattr
73when a new filesystem object is created, so that suitable extended attributes
74can be written out, and
75.Fn mac_vnode_associate_extattr
76when a
77.Xr vnode 9
78is associated with a filesystem object for the first time.
79These utility functions use
80.Xr VOP_OPENEXTATTR 9 ,
81.Xr VOP_READEXTATTR 9 ,
82.Xr VOP_WRITEEXTATTR 9 ,
83and
84.Xr VOP_CLOSEEXTATTR 9
85as required.
86.Ss Locking and Crash Safety
87In all cases, it is important that exclusive
88.Xr vnode 9
89locks be held to prevent concurrent access when a MAC label may not yet be
90initialized.
91It is also important that operations are ordered so that a system crash does
92not leave a file improperly labeled.
93For example, the extended attribute for a newly created file must be written
94to disk before the file is linked by its parent directory, so that there is
95no opportunity for a crash to lead to an unlabeled file.
96.Sh LOCKS
97The vnode will be locked on entry and should remain locked on return.
98.Sh RETURN VALUES
99If the MAC label is successfully set, then zero is returned.
100Otherwise, an appropriate error code is returned.
101.Sh ERRORS
102.Bl -tag -width Er
103.It Bq Er EOPNOTSUPP
104The file system does not support
105.Fn VOP_SETLABEL .
106.It Bq Er ENOSPC
107The file system is out of space.
108.It Bq Er EROFS
109The file system is read-only.
110.El
111.Pp
112Depending on the underlying implementation of
113.Fn VOP_SETLABEL ,
114other errors may also be possible.
