I think that I agree. The SELinux and Smack versions of the
hook are almost identical except for setting rc to 1 in the
SELinux case. And returning 1 makes no sense if you follow
the callers back. David Howells wrote both the SELinux and
Smack versions. David - why are they different? which is correct?
