Hi James,
One more small SELinux fix that should go into 3.18, if not during the merge
window then during the -rc period. Stephen wrote a nice patch description
which describes the problem, but it basically boils down to a race condition
that could result in a corrupted SELinux inode security blob/list. It is a
pretty difficult thing to reproduce, but the fix is obviously correct and
rather straightforward.
While I wouldn't expect any problems, for the sake of completeness I ran the
patch through the SELinux testsuite and it passed with flying colors.
Thanks,
-Paul
P.S. Somewhat related, as should be obvious from the weekend's exchange with
Linus, I'm not going to be updating/merging the SELinux next branch beyond
v3.16 unless I start to see problems accepting new patches (either through
interface or logic changes).
