The commit that added this check did so in a very strange way - first security_locked_down() is called, its value stored into retval, and if it's nonzero, then an additional check is made for (change_irq || change_port), and if this is true, the function returns. However, if the goto exit branch is not taken, the code keeps the retval value and continues executing the function. Then, depending on whether uport->ops->verify_port is set, the retval value may or may not be reset to zero and eventually the error value from security_locked_down() may abort the function a few lines below. I will go out on a limb and assume that this isn't the intended behavior and that an error value from security_locked_down() was supposed to abort the function only in case (change_irq || change_port) is true. Note that security_locked_down() should be called last in any series of checks, since the SELinux implementation of this hook will do a check against the policy and generate an audit record in case of denial. If the operation was to carry on after calling security_locked_down(), then the SELinux denial record would be bogus. See commit |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
