For better or worse, there is a long history of the upstream Linux Kernel focusing only on in-tree kernel code, I see no reason why we should change that now for LSMs. I am sorry that this approach negatively affects the LSMs you mentioned, but if they are not interested in being merged upstream there is not much we can do to help. -- paul-moore.com -- Linux-audit mailing list Linux-audit@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-audit
