> Quoting David P. Quigley (
dpquigl@tycho.nsa.gov):
> > This patch introduces three new hooks. The inode_getsecctx hook is used to get
> > all relevant information from an LSM about an inode. The inode_setsecctx is
> > used to set both the in-core and on-disk state for the inode based on a context
> > derived from inode_getsecctx.The final hook inode_notifysecctx will notify the
> > LSM of a change for the in-core state of the inode in question. These hooks are
> > for use in the labeled NFS code and addresses concerns of how to set security
> > on an inode in a multi-xattr LSM. For historical reasons Stephen Smalley's
> > explanation of the reason for these hooks is pasted below.
