Okay... It looks like I want four security operations/hooks for cachefiles:
(1) Check that a daemon can nominate a secid for use by the kernel to override
the process subjective secid.
(2) Set the secid mentioned in (1).
(3) Check that the kernel may create files as a particular secid (this could
be specified indirectly by specifying an inode, which would hide the secid
inside the LSM).
(4) Set the fscreate secid mentioned in (3).
Now, it's possible to condense (1) and (2) into a single op, and condense (3)
and (4) into a single op. That, however, might make the ops unusable by nfsd,
which may well want to bypass the checks or do them elsewhere.
Any thoughts?
