| 2 | |
| 3 | The secid member in the flow structure is used in LSMs (e.g. SELinux) to indicate |
| 4 | the label of the flow. This label of the flow is currently used in selecting |
| 5 | matching labeled xfrm(s). |
| 6 | |
| 7 | If this is an outbound flow, the label is derived from the socket, if any, or |
| 8 | the incoming packet this flow is being generated as a response to (e.g. tcp |
| 9 | resets, timewait ack, etc.). It is also conceivable that the label could be |
| 10 | derived from other sources such as process context, device, etc., in special |
| 11 | cases, as may be appropriate. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | If this is an inbound flow, the label is derived from the IPSec security |
| 14 | associations, if any, used by the packet. |
