From 3e1c2515acf70448cad1ae3ab835ca80be043d33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Morris Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:48:33 +0900 Subject: security: remove root_plug Remove the root_plug example LSM code. It's unmaintained and increasingly broken in various ways. Made at the 2009 Kernel Summit in Tokyo!
