[PATCH] [6/6] LSM Stacking: temporary setprocattr hack

From:  Serge Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com>
To:  Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org>
Subject:  Re: [RFC] [PATCH] [6/6] LSM Stacking: temporary setprocattr hack
Date:  Thu, 04 Nov 2004 17:12:51 -0600
Cc:  Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>, lkml <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org>

Stacker assumes that data written to /proc/<pid>/attr/* is of the
form:

module_name: data

Until the SELinux tools are rewritten to use this form, or it is decided
other LSMs should use a different way of communicating with userspace,
this patch will assume that data not in this form is intended for SELinux.
