Cover letter [PATCH v7 0/6] Safe LSM (un)loading, and immutable hooks
Quoted 11 lines · James Morris
Quoted 3 lines · Sargun Dhillon

I guess I'm just a little bit frustrated, because, in my mind, some of my patches provide immediate value, and are ready to be reviewed, and or respun.

I'm not seeing much value in this functionality, given that SELinux is the only unloadable LSM, and that is really just an historical workaround which may be normalized at some point.

Patch 1 may be useful on its own.

Do you not think patch 2 is also useful? Is it worth me re-rolling 1-2 independently?

Do you think not think that minor loadable LSMs are valuable? -- And if so, do you think it's okay with, or without guardrails?
