\begin{A non-kernel person stupid question}
I have my own blob in current->security, it comprises a bunch of data that
I think I need to lock access to.
My naive options appear to be :-
1) lock the whole task structure (very bad)
2) add a new security specific lock to the task to protect access to
the security blob
3) add a lock inside the structure hanging off security (bad)
4) add a global policy specific lock (bad)
2 seems to be the most obvious one to me, but that raises the question why
it doesn't seem to have been mentioned before, what am I missing ?
