[PATCH 1/2] LSM: switch to blocking policy update notifiers

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

 



Atomic policy updaters are not very useful as they cannot
usually perform the policy updates on their own. Since it
seems that there is no strict need for the atomicity,
switch to the blocking variant.
