currently policy_hash_bysel() returns the hash bucket list (for exact policies), or the inexact list (when policy uses a prefix). Searching this inexact list is slow, so it might be better to pre-sort inexact lists into a tree or another data structure for faster searching. However, due to 'any' policies, that need to be searched in any case, doing so will require that 'inexact' policies need to be handled specially to decide the best search strategy. So change hash_bysel() and return NULL if the policy can't be handled via the policy hash table. Right now, we simply use the inexact list when this happens, but future patch can then implement a different strategy. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Acked-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
