lsm: fix default return value for inode_getsecctx
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
-EOPNOTSUPP is the return value that implements a "no-op" hook, not 0.

Without this fix having only the BPF LSM enabled (with no programs
attached) can cause uninitialized variable reads in
nfsd4_encode_fattr(), because the BPF hook returns 0 without touching
the 'ctxlen' variable and the corresponding 'contextlen' variable in
nfsd4_encode_fattr() remains uninitialized, yet being treated as valid
based on the 0 return value.
