Subject: [RFC PATCH 6/9] Loadpol LSM: emit an audit log
Date: Wed, 21 May 2025 16:01:10 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250521140121.591482-7-git@nightmared.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250521140121.591482-1-git@nightmared.fr>
When a decision is reached, emit an audit log so that the userland may
know why the module load (eventually) failed.
