I'm looking at the secmark code and am looking in particular at the places where it explicitly says that it is intended for one security module at a time. For extreme stacking I can either enforce this restriction by configuration or remove it by clever uses of secid mappings. Either can be made "transparent" to existing user-space. Paul has expressed distaste for using configuration as a shortcut for dealing with this kind of problem, and I generally agree with him. On the other hand, the code is quite clear that it is designed for one and only one kind of secid at a time. I don't want to put a lot of effort into patches that are unacceptable to the author.
How would you see this working, ideally? -- James Morris [off-list ref] -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-security-module" in the body of a message to majordomo at vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
