Subject: [PATCH] smack inode_listsecurity fix
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2008 08:15:50 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49087E26.2080905@schaufler-ca.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4906A871.6010501@schaufler-ca.com>

From: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>

This patch fixes the problem known by "tmpfs support of xattrs?"
which is in fact the result of a bad implementation of the
inode_listsecurity LSM hook in Smack. Thanks to Stephen Smalley,
who identified the problem and all but coded the fix before I'd
even heard about it.
