Subject: Fix sel_netnode_insert suspicious rcu dereference.
Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2012 01:12:39 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120605051238.GA30614@redhat.com> (raw)
I reported this a year ago (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/20/308).
It's still a problem apparently ...
===============================
[ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
3.5.0-rc1+ #63 Not tainted
-------------------------------
security/selinux/netnode.c:178 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0

This patch below does what Paul McKenney suggested in the previous thread.
