Sure, let me give it a shot - I assume you're talking about the changes to 
selinux_netlbl_sk_security_reset()?  Assuming the answer is "yes", the reason 
is that before it's inclusion in selinux_inode_setsecurity() it was always 
called from functions operating on newly allocated sk_security_structs and as 
a result it didn't need to worry about any old per-socket cached values (look 
at selinux_netlbl_sock_genattr() to see what I mean about cached values and 
sksec->nlbl_secattr).  The change to selinux_netlbl_sk_security_reset() is to 
check if a cache value exists and if it does clear it out before we relabel 
the socket.

Anything else you're fuzzy on?  I can't promise my explanations will help but 
I can try ;)
