From: Casey Schaufler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Smack uses CIPSO labeling, but allows for unlabeled packets
by specifying an "ambient" label that is applied to incoming
unlabeled packets. Because the other end of the connection
may dislike IP options, and ssh is one know application that
behaves thus, it is prudent to respond in kind. This patch
changes the network labeling behavior such that an outgoing
packet that would be given a CIPSO label that matches the
ambient label is left unlabeled. An "unlbl" domain is added
and the netlabel defaulting mechanism invoked rather than
assuming that everything is CIPSO. Locking has been added
around changes to the ambient label as the mechanisms used
to do so are more involved.

This patch differs significantly from the previous version.
I think that I am using the netlbl interfaces more appropriately,
Paul, please let me know if there's a better approach.
It's inconvenient that netlbl_sock_setattr frees the domain passed.
I see that it makes sense for SELinux with the way SELinux treats
secctx's, but Smack is more careful about memory usage and I have
to do what I consider a gratuitous kalloc because of this behavior.
Would you be open to a patch to change this if it included the SELinux
changes?
Thank you.
