=====================
BPF filesystem kfuncs
=====================

BPF LSM programs need to access filesystem data from LSM hooks. The following
BPF kfuncs can be used to get these data.

 * ``bpf_get_file_xattr()``

 * ``bpf_get_fsverity_digest()``

To avoid recursions, these kfuncs follow the following rules:

1. These kfuncs are only permitted from BPF LSM function.
2. These kfuncs should not call into other LSM hooks, i.e. security_*(). For
   example, ``bpf_get_file_xattr()`` does not use ``vfs_getxattr()``, because
   the latter calls LSM hook ``security_inode_getxattr``.
