From 81200b0265b15609dcecf192e3f7fb238ec0d3da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Moore Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2022 17:11:57 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] selinux: checkreqprot is deprecated, add some ssleep() discomfort The checkreqprot functionality was disabled by default back in Linux v4.4 (2015) with commit 2a35d196c160e3 ("selinux: change CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE default") and it was officially marked as deprecated in Linux v5.7. It was always a bit of a hack to workaround very old userspace and to the best of our knowledge, the checkreqprot functionality has been disabled by Linux distributions for quite some time. This patch moves the deprecation messages from KERN_WARNING to KERN_ERR and adds a five second sleep to anyone using it to help draw their attention to the deprecation and provide a URL which helps explain things in more detail.
