Heap ids are assigned dynamically and therefore so will the /dev/ionX designation. From my understanding, security rules like selinux need to be fully specified at boot time so I'm not sure how you would be able to write rules to differentiate between /dev/ionX and /dev/ionY without knowing the values at boottime. So I think we need a different way to match the heap ids to get the security we want unless my understanding of security policies is wrong and we can dynamically specify permissions.

Each time you plug a webcam you got a v4l node but android/uevent rules the plug order doesn't have impact.

Oh, there's Android users for this? The users I was aware of were non-Android. Though even so I'd have thought that given that SELinux is a superset of Unix file permissions it ought to be sufficient to be able to use them. I'd been thinking people were suggesting SELinux as a replacement for file permissions, using the single file and the greater capabilities of SELinux.

Mostly what I want to see before merging this is an example that splitting the Ion heaps provides more protection than just keeping /dev/ion. Thanks, Laura
