There is a check for inode->i_security == NULL in nfs_setsecurity
in fs/nfs/inode.c. What is the intent of this check? Are you looking
for an uninitialized security blob, are you looking to see if there
is an active security module or something else?
Is there any reason that you can see that a call to
security_inode_getsecid()
followed by a check to see if the secid == 0 would not be equivalent?
I understand that the NULL check is faster, but it may not always be
correct.
