LSM hook for mount, superblock and keys watch notifications

From: David Howells
Date: Wed Aug 01 2018 - 17:04:11 EST


How about if I apply the attached patch? It creates a new LSM hook that gets
called each time a notification is about to be posted on a queue. It is given
the creds from the /dev/watch_queue opener, the creds of whoever triggered the
watchpoint and a pointer to the notification message.

The notification message includes metadata describing the source/type of the
message and the subtype within that, plus subtype-specific flags.
