Subject: security module question
Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2009 16:06:32 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090804220632.GG26133@bleen> (raw)

Hello - I'm trying to implement a security module that will allow or
disallow writes on files by byte ranges. Is there a way to use
inode_permission() to do this, or is there an alternative route I should
take? It doesn't look like inode_permission() will give me the data I
need (offset + length of write).

Also, is there a security module that will examine data being written
for certain patterns or content?

Please CC: me on responses. I used to be subscribed, but the traffic was
just too much.
