Something like this, you mean?

Yes, although perhaps writing to tsec->kern_create_sid or similar, which then overrides tsec->create_sid if set. Also need /proc/pid/attr/kern_fscreate as a read only node.


+	error = task_has_perm(current, current, PROCESS__SETFSCREATE);

I wonder if we also need 'relabelto' and 'relabelfrom' permissions, to control which labels are being used.


No - assuming the existing checks are called, the controls on file/dir/etc creation should be sufficient to control which labels are used. Setting fscreate is not a relabel operation nor does it result in a relabel operation as the sid is only used for creation.
