Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 2/3] selinux: avoid implicit conversions in services code
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 09:27:41 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825132742.3865669-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260825132742.3865669-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Christian Göttsche <cgzones@googlemail.com>
[ Upstream commit c50e125d057152bc68dfd5669b73611343653eb7 ]
Use u32 as the output parameter type in security_get_classes() and
security_get_permissions(), based on the type of the symtab nprim
member.
Declare the read-only class string parameter of
security_get_permissions() const.
Avoid several implicit conversions by using the identical type for the
destination.
Use the type identical to the source for local variables.
