[PATCH v2 4/4] device_cgroup: propagate local changes down the hierarchy

From: aris
Date: Thu Jan 24 2013 - 14:50:31 EST


This patch makes all changes propagate down in hierarchy respecting when
possible local configurations.

Behavior changes will clean up exceptions in all the children except when the
parent changes the behavior from allow to deny and the child's behavior was
already deny, in which case the local exceptions will be reused. The inverse
is not possible: you can't have a parent with behavior deny and a child with
behavior accept.

New exceptions allowing additional access to devices won't be propagated, but
it'll be possible to add an exception to access all of part of the newly
allowed device(s).

New exceptions disallowing access to devices will be propagated down and the
local group's exceptions will be revalidated for the new situation.
Example:
A
/ \
B

group behavior exceptions
A allow "b 8:* rwm", "c 116:1 rw"
B deny "c 1:3 rwm", "c 116:2 rwm", "b 3:* rwm"

If a new exception is added to group A:
# echo "c 116:* r" > A/devices.deny
it'll propagate down and after revalidating B's local exceptions, the exception
"c 116:2 rwm" will be removed.

In case parent behavior or exceptions change and local settings are not
allowed anymore, they'll be deleted.

v2: instead of keeping the local settings that won't apply anymore, remove them
