[PATCH security-next v3 26/29] LSM: Introduce enum lsm_order

From: Kees Cook <hidden>
Date: 2018-09-25 00:25:34
Also in: linux-arch, linux-doc, lkml
Subsystem: security subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Paul Moore, James Morris, "Serge E. Hallyn", Linus Torvalds

In preparation for distinguishing the "capability" LSM from other LSMs,
it must be ordered first. This introduces LSM_ORDER_MUTABLE for the
general LSMs, LSM_ORDER_FIRST for capabilities, and LSM_ORDER_LAST for
anything that must run last (e.g. Landlock may use this in the future).
