Hi,
LSM has hooks for almost every system call. In file read and write calls,
the hooks are for permission checking. Why the actual data that is
read/written is not passed to these hooks ? Is there any specific reason ?
Passing actual data to these file operations related hooks will be useful
e.g. for data filtering/scanning (say for an organizational policy).
Thanks,
- RJ
