20 * The selinux_status_page shall be exposed to userspace applications
21 * using mmap interface on /selinux/status.
22 * It enables to notify applications a few events that will cause reset
23 * of userspace access vector without context switching.
25 * The selinux_kernel_status structure on the head of status page is
26 * protected from concurrent accesses using seqlock logic, so userspace
27 * application should reference the status page according to the seqlock
28 * logic.
30 * Typically, application checks status->sequence at the head of access
31 * control routine. If it is odd-number, kernel is updating the status,
32 * so please wait for a moment. If it is changed from the last sequence
33 * number, it means something happen, so application will reset userspace
34 * avc, if needed.
35 * In most cases, application shall confirm the kernel status is not
36 * changed without any system call invocations.
