Subject:   securelevel_gt used incorrectly in kldload?
Message-ID:  <20020321040848.GA72774@kanpc.gte.com>

The following check added into kern_linker.c seems wrong somehow:

	if (securelevel_gt(td->td_ucred, 0) == 0) {
		error = EPERM;
		goto out;
	}

The last thing securelevel_gt does is to perform this check:
        return (active_securelevel > level ? EPERM : 0);
i.e. it returns EPERM is securelevel restriction is violated.

Should above construct be rewritten as follows instead?

	if ((error = securelevel_gt(td->td_ucred, 0)) != 0)
		goto out;

The same bug is present in vfs_mount too.
