Looks ok to me in principle. For netdev reviewers: we're lacking proper LSM control over tun devices because they're not created like normal sockets, and subsequently don't get labeled appropriately. They also behave differently to normal sockets and need special handling for security per Paul's notes. - James -- James Morris <jmorris@xxxxxxxxx> -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
