I would like very much to get v38 or v39 of the LSM stacking for Apparmor patch set in the LSM next branch for 6.1. The audit changes have polished up nicely and I believe that all comments on the integrity code have been addressed. The interface_lsm mechanism has been beaten to a frothy peak. There are serious binder changes, but I think they address issues beyond the needs of stacking. Changes outside these areas are pretty well limited to LSM interface improvements.The LSM stacking patches are near the very top of my list to review once the merge window clears, the io_uring fixes are in (bug fix), and SCTP is somewhat sane again (bug fix). I'm hopeful that the io_uring and SCTP stuff can be finished up in the next week or two. Since I'm the designated first stuckee now for the stacking stuff I want to go back through everything with fresh eyes, which probably isn't a bad idea since it has been a while since I looked at the full patchset from bottom to top. I can tell you that I've never been really excited about the /proc changes,I have been and remain perfectly happy to do something completely different provided it works. The interface_lsm scheme as implemented is horrible, but it's better than the half dozen alternatives I've proposed. At least no one has pointed out a use case that it can't satisfy. I take full responsibility for mucking up "current".
Yes, I have no concerns around your willingness to do the Right Thing Casey, whatever that may be :) -- paul-moore.com
