[ Upstream commit 81ccca31214e11ea2b537fd35d4f66d7cf46268e ]
sock_{send,recv}msg() internally calls security_socket_{send,recv}msg(), which does security checks (e.g. SELinux) for socket access against the current task. However, _sock_xmit() in drivers/block/nbd.c may be called indirectly from a userspace syscall, where the NBD socket access would be incorrectly checked against the calling userspace task (which simply tries to read/write a file that happens to reside on an NBD device).
To fix this, temporarily override creds to kernel ones before calling the sock_*() functions. This allows the security modules to recognize this as internal access by the kernel, which will normally be allowed.
A way to trigger the issue is to do the following (on a system with SELinux set to enforcing):
### Create nbd device: truncate -s 256M /tmp/testfile nbd-server localhost:10809 /tmp/testfile
### Connect to the nbd server: nbd-client localhost
### Create mdraid array mdadm --create -l 1 -n 2 /dev/md/testarray /dev/nbd0 missing
After these steps, assuming the SELinux policy doesn't allow the unexpected access pattern, errors will be visible on the kernel console:

The corresponding SELinux denial on Fedora/RHEL will look like this (assuming it's not silenced): type=AVC msg=audit(1758104872.510:116): avc: denied { write } for pid=1908 comm="mdadm" laddr=::1 lport=32772 faddr=::1 fport=10809 scontext=system_u:system_r:mdadm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=tcp_socket permissive=0
