I know it isn't relevant to the final solution, but this is simply wrong. IS_PRIVATE() means 'this inode is filesystem internal.' It is not used by anything except rieser and the anon_inode. If it is used by psuedo filesystems in general, like /proc, shmem mappings, and pipes that is a huge bug and is absolutely wrong. You are correct IS_PRIVATE is sufficient to know you don't need to do any IMA stuff with that inode, but it is used in damn few places and better remain that way.... -Eric -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
