From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: mathew.j.martineau@linux.intel.com (Mat Martineau) Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2017 16:50:22 -0700 Subject: [PATCH v13 05/10] KEYS: Add an optional lookup_restriction hook to key_type In-Reply-To: <20170330235027.6879-1-mathew.j.martineau@linux.intel.com> References: <20170330235027.6879-1-mathew.j.martineau@linux.intel.com> Message-ID: <20170330235027.6879-6-mathew.j.martineau@linux.intel.com> To: linux-security-module@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-security-module.vger.kernel.org The restrict_link functions used to validate keys as they are linked to a keyring can be associated with specific key types. Each key type may be loaded (or not) at runtime, so lookup of restrict_link functions needs to be part of the key type implementation to ensure that the requested keys can be examined.
