Subject: [PATCH 2/2] selinux: rename task_security_struct to cred_security_struct
Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2025 12:45:13 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251114174514.14695-2-stephen.smalley.work@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251114174514.14695-1-stephen.smalley.work@gmail.com>
Before Linux had cred structures, the SELinux task_security_struct was
per-task and although the structure was switched to being per-cred
long ago, the name was never updated. This change renames it to
cred_security_struct to avoid confusion with the separate per-task
task_selinux_struct. No functional change. A further renaming
change could be to rename all cred_security_struct variables from
tsec to csec but that can be done separately if desired.
