29.Dt VOP_SETLABEL 9
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm VOP_SETLABEL
33.Nd persistently store an updated MAC label on a vnode
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.In sys/param.h
36.In sys/vnode.h
37.In security/mac.h
38.Ft int
39.Fn VOP_SETLABEL "struct vnode *vp" "label *label"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41This vnode call is made by
42.Xr mac 9
43file relabeling operation has been authorized, and the filesystem must now be
44updated.
45.Ss Single-Label vs. Multi-Label Filesystems
46Filesystems that do not implement per-file labels -- known as single-label
47filesystems -- can simply leave the
48.Xr vnode 9
49operation undefined.
50These filesystems must not set the
51.Dv MNT_MULTLABEL
52flag in their
53.Vt struct mount .
54.Pp
55Filesystems that do implement per-vnode label storage -- known as multi-label
56filesystems -- will set the
57.Dv MNT_MULTILABEL
58flag in their
59.Vt struct mount .
60The UFS filesystem uses a superblock flag to persisently configure whether a
61specific filesystem implements a label for each
62.Xr vnode 9 ,
63and then keys various behaviors on whether that flag is set.
64.Ss Extended Attributes
65If the filesystem implements extended attributes, then the MAC Framework's
66.Fn vop_stdsetlabel_ea
67function can be used, and maps operations into a series of
68.Xr VOP_OPENEXTATTR 9 ,
69.Xr VOP_WRITEEXTATTR 9 ,
70and
71.Xr VOP_CLOSEEXTATTR 9 .
72.Pp
73Filesystems will also need to call
74.Fn mac_vnode_create_extattr
75when a new filesystem object is created, so that suitable extended attributes
76can be written out, and
77.Fn mac_vnode_associate_extattr
78when a
79.Xr vnode 9
80is associated with a filesystem object for the first time.
81These utility functions use
82.Xr VOP_OPENEXTATTR 9 ,
83.Xr VOP_READEXTATTR 9 ,
84.Xr VOP_WRITEEXTATTR 9 ,
85and
86.Xr VOP_CLOSEEXTATTR 9
87as required.
88.Ss Locking and Crash Safety
89In all cases, it is important that exclusive
90.Xr vnode 9
91locks be held to prevent concurrent access when a MAC label may not yet be
92initialized.
93It is also important that operations are ordered so that a system crash does
94not leave a file improperly labeled.
95For example, the extended attribute for a newly created file must be written
96to disk before the file is linked by its parent directory, so that there is
97no opportunity for a crash to lead to an unlabeled file.
98.Sh LOCKS
99The vnode will be locked on entry and should remain locked on return.
100.Sh RETURN VALUES
101If the MAC label is successfully set, then zero is returned.
102Otherwise, an appropriate error code is returned.
103.Sh ERRORS
104.Bl -tag -width Er
105.It Bq Er EOPNOTSUPP
106The file system does not support
107.Fn VOP_SETLABEL .
108.It Bq Er ENOSPC
109The file system is out of space.
110.It Bq Er EROFS
111The file system is read-only.
112.El
113.Pp
114Depending on the underlying implementation of
115.Fn VOP_SETLABEL ,
116other errors may also be possible.
