[patch 1/1] selinux: change file_alloc_security to use GFP_KERNEL

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch changes the SELinux file_alloc_security function to use
GFP_KERNEL rather than GFP_ATOMIC; the use of GFP_ATOMIC appears to be a
remnant of when this function was being called with the files_lock
spinlock held, and is no longer necessary.  Please apply.
