I agree with this, there are some LSM hooks which do get called in interrupt context, eg. task_free (which gets called in an RCU callback). The hooks that we are using it for and we know that it works (using our experimental helpers similar to this) are the bprm_* hooks in the exec pathway (for logic based on the path of the executable). It might be worth whitelisting these functions by adding verifier ops for LSM programs? Would you want to do it as a part of this series? - KP > in_task() isn't really a solution. > > At the same time I agree that such helper is badly needed. > Folks have been requesting it for long time.
