Subject: [PATCH] slim: handle failure to register
Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2006 09:48:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1158770924.16727.112.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
Thanks to Stephen Smalley for pointing out that we need to securely
handle a failure to register with the LSM security hooks. This patch
adds a panic in the event that the module is unable to register.
