[v2 PATCH 1/1] Skip writing role attributes for policy.X and downgraded pp.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Role attributes are redundant for policy.X, their destiny has been
fulfilled in the expand phase when their types.types ebitmap have
been populated to that of their sub regular roles.

When pp is downgraded, role_datum_t's the flavor flag and roles
ebitmap would be discarded, resulting in role attributes useless
at all. So for such case they should also be skipped.

Deduct the number of role attributes from p_roles.table->nel when
they are skipped.

Last, uncount attributes number before converting endianness.
