Hmm... shouldn't the last 5 lines be replaced by the following?
if ((layer->access & access_request) == access_request)
*layer_mask &= ~layer_level;
And then, since this function would always return true, you could
change its return type to "void".
As far as I can tell, the current version will still, if a ruleset
looks like this:
/usr read+write
/usr/lib/ read
reject write access to /usr/lib, right?
