This patch is quite large, even without the audit rule change. I would
limit this patch to the new lsm_id structure changes. The audit rule
change should be broken out as a separate patch so that the audit
changes aren't hidden.
In addition, here are a few high level nits:
- The (patch description) body of the explanation, line wrapped at 75
columns, which will be copied to the permanent changelog to describe
this patch. (Refer Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst.)
- The brief kernel-doc descriptions should not have a trailing period.
Nor should kernel-doc variable definitions have a trailing period.
Example(s) inline below. (The existing kernel-doc is mostly correct.)
- For some reason existing comments that span multiple lines aren't
formatted properly. In those cases, where there is another change,
please fix the comment and function description.
thanks,
Mimi

Only this kernel-doc brief description is suffixed with a period.
