Subject: [PATCH v38 21/39] LSM: Ensure the correct LSM context releaser
Date:   Tue, 27 Sep 2022 12:54:03 -0700
Message-Id: <20220927195421.14713-22-casey@schaufler-ca.com>
In-Reply-To: <20220927195421.14713-1-casey@schaufler-ca.com>
References: <20220927195421.14713-1-casey@schaufler-ca.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Precedence: bulk

Add a new lsmcontext data structure to hold all the information
about a "security context", including the string, its size and
which LSM allocated the string. The allocation information is
necessary because LSMs have different policies regarding the
lifecycle of these strings. SELinux allocates and destroys
them on each use, whereas Smack provides a pointer to an entry
in a list that never goes away.
