[PATCH v3 08/16] LSM: Infrastructure management of the cred security blob

Casey Schaufler casey at schaufler-ca.com
Thu Sep 20 00:20:45 UTC 2018


LSM: Infrastructure management of the cred security blob

Move management of the cred security blob out of the
security modules and into the security infrastructre.
Instead of allocating and freeing space the security
modules tell the infrastructure how much space they
require.
