Folks, May I ask some foolish questions? I just want to make sure what do we need if we want to put new security module(which is using LSM) in mainline.
1. Does it have to provide complete "MAC" which Casey Schaufler explained in below mail? http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=118252843017261&w=2 2. Does it have to provide any solution which SELinux can't cover? 3. Do we have to proof the new security module "can't" implement as policy on SELinux? 4. Does it have to provide complete security feature from beginning? Can we implement just small features to mainline and develop new features in same time? 5. Does it have to have any Security model which documented/evaluated in academic conference? I saw LSM-ML past 1 year and sometime I saw "You should try and get your code into mainline". But, anytime many people were discussing about above points and I think nobody put anything in mainline (Now I'm checking 2.6.21 kernel and I couldn't find any security module except "Default Linux Capabilities", "Root Plug", and "SELinux").
