That's fine in the first case (where both domain IDs are logged), but in the second case it's a little questionable. Wouldn't it be better to be able to distinguish the tdom == NULL case from the tdom == sdom one, perhaps by using "source" in the former case but "domid" in the latter one? Apologies as I am not quite following your question. Let me provide my reasoning and if it doesn't address your question, then please help me understand your concern. The function avc_printk() allows for the incremental build up of an AVC message. In this section, it is attempting to include the applicable source and target that was used to render the AVC. With the switch to %pd, the first and second lines would become "domid=d{id}". I personally find that a bit redundant. Adding to that, in the context of this function there is "sdom" which is source domain, "cdom" which is current domain, and tdom which is target domain. The print statements using cdom or tdom already denoted them with "current=" and "target=" respectively. Whereas, sdom was prefixed with "domid=" in the print statements. To me, it makes more sense to change the prefixes of sdom with "source=" to accurately reflect the context of that domid. v/r, dps
