Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] lsm: Add hooks to the TUN driver
From: Paul Moore <paul.moore@...com>

> The TUN driver lacks any LSM hooks which makes it difficult for LSM modules,

> * security_tun_dev_create()
> Provides access control for the creation of new TUN devices
>
> * security_tun_dev_post_create()
> Provides the ability to create the necessary socket LSM state for newly
> created TUN devices
>
> * security_tun_dev_attach()
> Provides access control for attaching to existing, persistent TUN devices
