There is a newer version of this series
[PATCH v2 2/6] LSM: Replace context+len with lsm_context
Posted by Casey Schaufler 1 month, 1 week ago
Replace the (secctx,seclen) pointer pair with a single
lsm_context pointer to allow return of the LSM identifier
along with the context and context length. This allows
security_release_secctx() to know how to release the
context. Callers have been modified to use or save the
returned data from the new structure.

security_secid_to_secctx() and security_lsmproc_to_secctx()
will now return the length value on success instead of 0.
