Paul, do you have any other concerns regarding blktrace? As Jens mentioned, blktrace just exported IO metadata to Userspace, those were not security sensitive information.I think this version of the patchset is much better, thanks for your patience. I don't have any further concerns, and since the lockdown LSM doesn't have a dedicated maintainer I think you should be all set from my perspective.Thanks a lot for the review.quoted
Since there are no changes under security/, I'm assuming this will go in via the tracing tree?Should I notify some specific maintainer or mail list for merging?When in doubt, the scripts/get_maintainer.pl tool in the kernel sources can be helpful. The results for the debugfs and relay files are fairly generic, but if you look at the results for the blktrace.c file you get a more reasonable list of maintainers and mailing lists. I believe Jens has already commented on your patches at least once, I don't recall if the others have or not. I see you've already CC'd the block mailing list, so that might be enough. Keep in mind that we are in the middle of a merge window so it is very possible this patch might not be merged in a working/next/etc. branch until after the merge window closes (every maintainer is a little bit different in this regard).
I didn't see the patches in the trace tree yet, maybe better to merge it through block tree since it's a blktrace fix. Jens, can you help merge these two patches to your tree? Thanks, Junxiao.
