| |
Some closed source modules are taking advantage of the fact that the security_ops variable is available to them, so they are using it to hook into parts of the kernel that should only be available to "real" users of the LSM interface (which is required to be under the GPL.)
This patch changes the export of that variable to try to mitigate the problem.
