💅 selinux_uring_override_creds(9) — Kernel API Manual, section 9

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and today's main character is selinux_uring_override_creds(9) (the header truncates it all cute as selinux_urin...erride_creds(9), but you and me know the full name 🫶).

✨ NAME ✨

selinux_uring_override_creds — lowkey the vibe-check function for a requested cred override 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int selinux_uring_override_creds (const struct cred *new );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• new — the target creds. literally the creds we're trying to slide into, no cap 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea 🍓: this one checks whether the current task is actually allowed to override its own credentials — and it's doing all that just to service an io_uring operation. it's giving "permission slip before the glow-up," fr fr ✨
