I'm not very knowledgeable on the niftier kconfig features. Is there a way to introduce some intermediate SECURITY_XATTR variable, which SECURITY_SELINUX could select, and which *_FS_SECURITY could depend on? That way patches for file capabilities (in -mm) and smack (being discussed on linux-security-module) won't have to explicitly add themselves to every one of those 'depends on' lines. thanks, -serge > Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@...sta.de> > > --- > > fs/Kconfig | 82 +++++++++++++------------------------------------ > fs/xfs/Kconfig | 13 +------ > 2 files changed, 25 insertions(+), 70 deletions(-) > > --- linux-2.6.23-rc1-mm1/fs/Kconfig.old 2007-07-28 23:12:19.000000000 +0200 > +++ linux-2.6.23-rc1-mm1/fs/Kconfig 2007-07-28 23:17:33.000000000 +0200 > @@ -40,16 +40,10 @@ config EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL > If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N > > config EXT2_FS_SECURITY > - bool "Ext2 Security Labels" > - depends on EXT2_FS_XATTR > - help > - Security labels support alternative access control models > - implemented by security modules like SELinux.
