Subject: devscgroup: make white list more compact in some cases
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d1ee2971f5bd8a16bc5ecfe1b00e14b4fe407c4f;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

devscgroup: make white list more compact in some cases

Consider you added a 'c foo:bar r' permission to some cgroup and then (a
bit later) 'c'foo:bar w' for it.  After this you'll see the

c foo:bar r
c foo:bar w

lines in a devices.list file.

Another example - consider you added 10 'c foo:bar r' permissions to some
cgroup (e.g.  by mistake).  After this you'll see 10 c foo:bar r lines in
a list file.

This is weird.  This situation also has one more annoying consequence.
Having many items in a white list makes permissions checking slower, sine
it has to walk a longer list.

The proposal is to merge permissions for items, that correspond to the
same device.
