Lastly, given the difficulties we've faced from the LSM maintainers, I'm not
inclined to waste more time in explaining again why this cannot go under
security/.

I'm still going to send v7 of bpf_init_inode_xattr series, even though
it's a stalemate. Haven't yet decided where it'll live in v7, I'm
inclined to leave it where it was (in fs/) since one side will NAK it
wherever it lives. We can record NAKs and take it from there.

As a FYI, I'm not going to ACK any of the LSM changes with the kfunc
in security/bpf_lsm_kfuncs.c.

Hmm, even if it lands in security/ you'd not ACK it?

Bah, a typo on my part, my apologies!  What I had meant to say was
that I'm not going to ACK any of the LSM changes with the kfunc *not*
in security/bpf_lsm_kfuncs.c.  Sorry for the confusion.

Makes sense, thanks. I'll send it in the next week most likely.
