[PATCH v5 8/8] lsm: Remove security_sb_mount and security_move_mount

Song Liu song at kernel.org
Thu May 28 18:26:07 UTC 2026


Now that all LSMs have been converted to granular mount hooks and
fs/namespace.c calls the new hooks, remove the old hooks:

- security_sb_mount(): removed from lsm_hook_defs.h, security.h,
  security.c.
- security_move_mount(): removed from lsm_hook_defs.h, security.h,
  security.c, and bpf_lsm.c.

Code generated with the assistance of Claude, reviewed by human.
