SELinux Mailing ListRe: [NFS] [PATCH] introduce version field to struct nfs_clone_mount
From: Stephen Smalley <sds_at_tycho.nsa.gov>

Is it really better to modify all the filesystems to support a context= mount option, particularly when they in turn just have to call into the security module to do anything with that option? It is somewhat similar to the vfs fallbacks for *xattr for security attributes, which likewise isn't entirely nice to look at, but seems better than patching all the filesystems when the goal is to provide uniform interface across them all and the security module has to do all of the real work anyway. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
