Subject: [PATCH 3/9] security: fix documentation for the socket_post_create hook
Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2018 14:08:37 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181023110837.27840-1-efremov@linux.com> (raw)

From: Denis Efremov <efremov@linux.com>

This patch slightly fixes the documentation for the
socket_post_create hook. The documentation states that
i_security field is accessible through inode field of socket
structure (i.e., 'sock->inode->i_security'). There is no inode
field in the socket structure. The i_security field is accessible
through SOCK_INODE macro. The patch fixes the documentation accordingly.
