Description:
The long-running effort to complete the work on stacking (or composing) the Linux security modules (LSMs) recently encountered a barrierin the form of
a "suggestion" to discontinue it from Linus Torvalds. His complaint
revolved around the indirect function calls that are used to implement
LSMs, but he also did not think much of the effort to switch away from
those calls. While it does not appear that a major course-change is in store for LSMs, it is clear that Torvalds is not happy with the direction of that subsystem.
