Subject: [PATCH v5 10/34] lsm: rework lsm_active_cnt and lsm_idlist[]
Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2025 16:24:38 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251017202456.484010-46-paul@paul-moore.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251017202456.484010-36-paul@paul-moore.com>
Move the LSM active count and lsm_id list declarations out of a header
that is visible across the kernel and into a header that is limited to
the LSM framework. This not only helps keep the include/linux headers
smaller and cleaner, it helps prevent misuse of these variables.
