Subject: [PATCH 1/2] LSM: Exclusive secmark usage
Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2025 14:56:42 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251001215643.31465-2-casey@schaufler-ca.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251001215643.31465-1-casey@schaufler-ca.com>
The network secmark can only be used by one security module
at a time. Establish mechanism to identify to security modules
whether they have access to the secmark. SELinux already
incorparates mechanism, but it has to be added to Smack and
AppArmor.
