Subject: [patch 5/15] lsm stacking v0.3: introduce security_*_value API
Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2005 13:24:05 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050727182405.GF22483@serge.austin.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20050727181921.GB22483@serge.austin.ibm.com>
Define the functions to be used by LSMs to add, retrieve, and remove
elements to the kernel object ->security hlists.
Changelog:
[July 26] Fixed prototypes which did not specify fastcall.
[July 26] Added security_unlink_value, for use by modules
to free data when they are unloaded, and
security_disown_value, which is used when a module
has not freed it's object->security data when object
is being freed.
