Could you please provide a link to that 'previous BME submissions'? Thanks. Also, since you are modifying LSM interfaces, why not discuss it on the LSM mailing list? And finally, please don't remove nameidata. Modules out there depend on it and we at Sophos are about to release a new product which needs it as well. The plan was to announce the whole thing parallel with the release, but after spotting your post I was prompted to react ahead of the schedule. However, I am very busy at the moment so the actual announcment with full details will have to wait for a week or two. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
