[RFC PATCH 12/17] watch_queue: Add security hooks to rule on setting mount and sb watches [ver #4]

David Howells dhowells at redhat.com
Mon Mar 9 12:19:01 UTC 2020


Add security hooks that will allow an LSM to rule on whether or not a watch
may be set on a mount or on a superblock.  More than one hook is required
as the watches watch different types of object.
