No, there should not be for PCI drivers. If there is, that is a bug that you can, and should, fix. > And we can't just fix them all. Even if we could it would be hard to > maintain. Not true at all, you can fix them, and write a simple coccinelle rule to prevent them from ever coming back in. > Using a "firewall model" hooking into a few strategic points like we're > proposing here is much saner for everyone. No it is not. It is "easier" for you because you all do not want to fix up all of the drivers and want to add additional code complexity on top of the current mess that we have and then you can claim that you have "hardened" the drivers you care about. Despite no one ever explaining exactly what "hardened" means to me. Again, fix the existing drivers, you have the whole source, if this is something that you all care about, it should not be hard to do.
