A kern_ipc_perm pointer is conventionally named isp in this code.

So the ideal name would be ipcp, used in core ipc, but I have no strong
preference over isp, ipp or whatever other name is used in LSMs. The
important thing is that kern_ipc_perm should not be called sma or any
ipc specific name.

How about instead:

Agreed.


-static int smack_sem_alloc_security(struct sem_array *sma)
+static int smack_sem_alloc_security(struct kern_ipc_perm *isp)
{
- struct kern_ipc_perm *isp = &sma->sem_perm;


Thanks,
