I've made all the corrections you've suggested as well as the ones that Andrew and Randy pointed out. I'm building a new kernel to test right now, if all goes well I'll push the new bits tonight or tomorrow. I've also added all your ACKs to their respective patches except for this one because I made some non-trivial changes and didn't think it was fair to use your ACK. While I was looking at the code I realized that we are calling selinux_parse_skb() in the per-packet processing functions a bit too early (my fault) resulting in potentially wasted cycles. I've fixed it in this patch and you'll see the change shortly ... -- paul moore linux @ hp
