I have one concern here, let me make some self-criticism. The interface described here for relabel-self is convenient and suiting actual needs of user space parts that are going to use it. But it is inconsistent with other existing interfaces in smackfs. Recently I submitted a patch (merged into v4.2) that extended onlycap to allow multiple labels in it. The smackfs interface for onlycap always takes the full list of labels that replaces the list that was previously set. Now relabel-self is also going to contain a list of labels. But smackfs interface gets one label at a time and performs add/remove operations. Are you OK. with such inconsistency? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-security-module" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
