It can be safely moved, but not removed. This was added when creds_are_invalid() was implemented in the header, which makes SELinux specific calls (see commit ed868a56988464cd31de0302426a5e94d3127f10). This function was moved to kernel/cred.c in commit 74908a0009eb36054190ab80deb9671014efed96 but the header was not moved with it. If you want to send a patch to move the header from cred.h to cred.c I think that would make a lot of sense. -Eric -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
