The main question is do we declare cap_effective to belong solely to capability.c, or do we want capability.c to trust previous LSM's computations of those values? So, even with the current case, if we insmod, rmmod, then re-insmod capability, do we want to revoke all previous cap_* computations?
It seems reasonable for it "belong" to capability.c (and I've heard of noone else wanting to use it). I just don't think we've explicitly declared this to be the case. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
