Thank you for the patch, however there are already existing proposed patches to fix this issue, see [1], [2], and [3]. At the moment it looks like the SELinux hooks reorder approach ([1]) will be accepted as a temporary solution (the SELinux runtime disable is being deprecated [4] in favor of properly disabling SELinux by setting selinux=0 on the kernel command line). Your approach unfortunately isn't robust (depends on assumptions about how hooks are ordered by LSMs) nor complete (even the inverse order still has some race conditions that may lead to a crash - e.g. selinux_bpf_map() vs. selinux_bpf_map_alloc()). Also, please, don't forget to Cc the LSM/SELinux mailing lists (linux-security-module@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, respectively) for patches related to the LSM framework/SELinux.
