Hi Chirantan,

I am wondering what's the status of this work now. Looks like it
was not merged.

We also need the capability to set selinux security xattrs on newly
created files in virtiofs.  

Will you be interested in reviving this work and send patches again
and copy the selinux as well as linux security module list
(linux-security-module@vger.kernel.org) as suggested by casey.

How are you managing in the meantime. Carrying patches in your own
kernel?

Thanks
Vivek
