I think that would be the prudent approach. There is still
the possibility that blob sharing (or full stacking, if you
prefer) won't be accepted any time soon.
Ok Casey! I will wait for more feedback, and if other maintainers do
not object, I will convert it back to rhashtables in next iterations
making sure that it should be simple to convert later to a blob
sharing mechanism.
Would it be possible just to add a single field to task_struct if this
LSM is built in? I feel like rhashtables is a huge overhead when a
single field is all that's needed.
