Thanks Joe, however, I think James was talking specifically about the 
this patch, not the entire aggregate patchset, and the 
cipso_v4_sock_delattr() function in particular as it is not likely to 
be called often in normal use.

To answer that question, I was going to write a small little test 
program that would connect/disconnect UDP sockets and do writes in 
various states to ensure the wire traffic was labeled (or not) 
correctly.  However, I had a bit of luck and Casey ended up using this 
function in Smack[1] in a manner that saw it in a relatively common 
code path so it got a decent test; in fact it was Casey who pointed out 
the bugs in the initial revision.

[1] The Smack bits are still a work in progress and not ready for 2.6.28 
so they have been left out of this patchset, expect something in the 
2.6.29 timeframe.
