The Linux Security Module (LSM) interface is a
standard part of 2.6.
There actually is a backport of the security modules patch to 2.4 on
the NSA site for SELinux. But, it is quite large and I doubt many
people would want to apply it for running realtime audio.
It depends on whether it interacts with other patches... But yes, I
would prefer not to have to add YAP (yet another patch? :-)
Your small patch is probably safer and more secure.
So, my feeling is that the best approach is...
(1) LSM for 2.6.
(2) An interface-compatible variant of your patch for 2.4.
I agree, looks good to me.
I intend to continue experimenting along these lines
until I prove to
myself that all this really works and is useful. So, far it looks
encouraging.
Indeed... thanks for working on this! A LOT!
