There is a time where we need to calculate a context without the
inode having been created yet. To do this we take the negative dentry and
calculate a context based on the process and the parent directory contexts.

Linus won't accept a patch that changes the security code from Bruce or
myself without acks from the security maintainers. I assume that means
we need to get at least an ack from James Morris, and then possibly
Stephen and Eric too...



Adding James Morris, Steve Smalley, and Eric Paris for an ACK. These patches have been reviewed on the security list many times in the past and we're just now trying to get them mainlined again. All past comments were addressed in them.
