[RFC PATCH] selinux: support wildcard network interface names

From: Christian Göttsche
Date: Tue Dec 17 2024 - 08:58:20 EST


From: Christian Göttsche <cgzones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add support for wildcard matching of network interface names. This is
useful for auto-generated interfaces, for example podman creates network
interfaces for containers with the naming scheme podman0, podman1,
podman2, ...

Since the wildcard characters '?' and '*' should be very uncommon in
network interface names, and thus if netifcon definitions, avoid
introducing a new policy version or capability.

Netifcon definitions are compared against in the order given by the
policy, so userspace tools should sort them in a reasonable order.
