[PATCH] selinux: provide a "no sooner than" date for the checkreqprot removal

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We marked /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot as deprecated in Linux v5.7,
but didn't provide any guidance as to the timeframe.  Considering
the state of checkreqprot, it seems like one year should be enough
time.
