Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 6/9] selinux: use u16 for security classes
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 07:24:37 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825112440.3543785-6-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260825112440.3543785-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Christian Göttsche <cgzones@googlemail.com>
[ Upstream commit fa79a596848fe38c55ccab8832ac35dac07fb00c ]
Security class identifiers are limited to 2^16, thus use the appropriate
type u16 consistently.
