As mentioned in a previous revision, I remain concerned that this is
going to become a problem due to the size limit on unix_skb_parms. I
would need to redo the math to be certain, but if I recall correctly
this would limit us to five LSMs assuming both that we don't need to
grow the per-LSM size of lsmblob *and* the netdev folks don't decide
to add more fields to the unix_skb_parms.
I lost track of that earlier discussion so I'm not sure where it ended
up, but if there is a viable alternative it might be a good idea to
pursue it.
Stephen had concerns about the lifecycle management involved. He also
pointed out that I had taken a cowards way out when allocations failed.
That could result in unexpected behavior when an allocation failed.
Fixing that would have required a major re-write of the currently simple
UDS attribute code, which I suspect would be as hard a sell to netdev as
expanding the secid to a lsmblob. I also thought I'd gotten netdev on the
CC: for this patch, but it looks like I missed it.
I did start on the UDS attribute re-do, and discovered that I was going
to have to introduce new failure paths, and that it might not be possible
to maintain compatibility for all cases because of the new possibilities
of failure.
