[lustre-devel] [PATCH 09/12] lustre: llite: properly detect SELinux disabled case

[James Simmons <jsimmons@infradead.org>]

From: Sebastien Buisson <sbuisson@ddn.com>

Usually, security_dentry_init_security() returns -EOPNOTSUPP when
SELinux is disabled. But on some kernels it returns 0 when SELinux
is disabled, and in this case the security context is empty.
So in both cases make sure the security context name is not set, which
means "SELinux is disabled" for the rest of the code.
