I'd like to understand who is (or claims to be) adversely affected by this
change, and what their complaints (if any) will be.
Because I prefer my flamewars pre- rather than post-merge.
This was already discussed and resolved during previous postings of the
patch.
In a nutshell, there is no safe way to unload an LSM. The modular
interface is thus unecessary and broken infrastructure. It is used only
by out-of-tree modules, which are often binary-only, illegal, abusive of
the API and dangerous, e.g. silently re-vectoring SELinux.
there's a difference between 'often' and 'always'. I really don't think
you want to start that sort of argument (after all, would you like it if
the MPAA argued "dvd burners are often used to make pirate copies, let's
make it so that they won't burn anything without being given a special
key"?)
and arguing that the LSM is only used by out-of-tree modules and then
strenuously opposing mergeing of such modules means that one of your
arguments is bogus
