Subject: [PATCH 02/13] NetLabel: convert the unlabeled accept flag to use RCU
Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2006 17:38:44 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061117224331.877832000@hp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20061117223842.399078000@hp.com

[-- Attachment #1: netlabel-unlbl_rculocking --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2441 bytes --]

From: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com>

Currently the NetLabel unlabeled packet accept flag is an atomic type and it
is checked for every non-NetLabel packet which comes into the system but rarely
ever changed.  This patch changes this flag to a normal integer and protects it
with RCU locking.
