Hi,

First of all, I'm sorry for this no-subject covering letter. Accidents never happen only in a perfect world.

I'd prefer if we only move the required structure definitions into a
separate header. There is no reason to export all internal entry
points.


You're right, this would definitely look nicer.


Anyway, this is a technicality that actually depends on the
implemented LSM hooks. So I'd prefer if we discuss that in combination
with the actual LSM patches. I'm not entirely sure which parts are
needed. For testing-purposes, we can always use -I./ipc/kdbus/, right?


Yes we can, which makes whole this patch a bit premature.

However, we can't predict whether someone may want to use kdbus headers for any other purpose. As for now, I don't see immediate need for this apart from implementing LSM callbacks.

Thanks,
Paul
