Ops, I found an issue for fs_context_parse_param. It seems that the
kernel doc and lsm_hooks.h provide different conventions for it.

+ David

Kernel doc:

It should return 0 to indicate that the parameter should be passed on
to the filesystem, 1 to indicate that the parameter should be discarded
or an error to indicate that the parameter should be rejected.

lsm_hooks.h:

The LSM may reject it with an error and may use it for itself, in which
case it should return 0; otherwise it should return -ENOPARAM to pass
it on to the filesystem.

Looking at the code, the latter seems the right one. I would send
another patch to fix the kernel doc.

For this patch, I saw it is already in lsm/next. Paul, should I do an
incremental patch or change the one in the repo and you force push it?
I would just remove the three lines after the parameters description.

Thanks

Roberto
