Subject: [PATCH v3 02/14] selinux: use u16 for security classes
Date: Sun, 11 May 2025 19:30:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250511173055.406906-2-cgoettsche@seltendoof.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250511173055.406906-1-cgoettsche@seltendoof.de>
From: Christian Göttsche <cgzones@googlemail.com>
Security class identifiers are limited to 2^16, thus use the appropriate
type u16 consistently.
Signed-off-by: Christian Göttsche <cgzones@googlemail.com>

v3: only change type, move the validation (> U16_MAX) to the subsequent
patch
