Subject: [GIT PULL] SELinux patches for 3.18 #2
Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:57:24 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <64243365.FIno1OMc7X@sifl> (raw)

Hi James,

One more small SELinux fix that should go into 3.18, if not during the merge 
window then during the -rc period.  Stephen wrote a nice patch description 
which describes the problem, but it basically boils down to a race condition 
that could result in a corrupted SELinux inode security blob/list.  It is a 
pretty difficult thing to reproduce, but the fix is obviously correct and 
rather straightforward.

While I wouldn't expect any problems, for the sake of completeness I ran the 
patch through the SELinux testsuite and it passed with flying colors.

Thanks,
-Paul

P.S. Somewhat related, as should be obvious from the weekend's exchange with 
Linus, I'm not going to be updating/merging the SELinux next branch beyond 
v3.16 unless I start to see problems accepting new patches (either through 
interface or logic changes).
