[$] A change in direction for security-module stacking? The long-running effort to complete the work on stacking (or composing) the Linux security modules (LSMs) recently encountered a barrier—in 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. https://lwn.net/Articles/970070/
