The patch titled security: revalidate rw permissions for sys_splice and sys_vmsplice has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was security-revalidate-rw-permissions-for-sys_splice-and.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: security: revalidate rw permissions for sys_splice and sys_vmsplice From: James Morris <jmorris@xxxxxxxxx> Revalidate read/write permissions for splice(2) and vmslice(2), in case security policy has changed since the files were opened. Note that this brings the splice code into line with other mechanisms for reading and writing files, where an LSM check is made on open, then revalidated on read or write as a form of partial revocation.
