    xfrm security context support · b2bb289a
    Joy Latten authored
    In the Linux kernel, ipsec policy and SAs can include a
    security context to support MAC networking. This feature
    is often referred to as "labeled ipsec".
    
    This patchset adds security context support into ip xfrm
    such that a security context can be included when
    add/delete/display SAs and policies with the ip command.
    The user provides the security context when adding
    SAs and policies. If a policy or SA contains a security
    context, the changes allow the security context to be displayed.
    
    For example,
    ip xfrm state
    src 10.1.1.6 dst 10.1.1.2
    	proto esp spi 0x00000301 reqid 0 mode transport
    	replay-window 0
    	auth hmac(digest_null) 0x3078
    	enc cbc(des3_ede) 0x6970763672656164796c6f676f33646573636263696e3031
    	security context root:system_r:unconfined_t:s0
    
    Please  let me know if all is ok with the patchset.
    Thanks!!
    
    regards,
    Joy
