From eb982cb4cf6405b97ea1f9e1d10864981f269d46 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Casey Schaufler Date: Wed, 23 May 2012 17:46:58 -0700 Subject: Smack: fix smack_new_inode bogosities In January of 2012 Al Viro pointed out three bits of code that he titled "new_inode_smack bogosities". This patch repairs these errors. 1. smack_sb_kern_mount() included a NULL check that is impossible. The check and NULL case are removed. 2. smack_kb_kern_mount() included pointless locking. The locking is removed. Since this is the only place that lock was used the lock is removed from the superblock_smack structure. 3. smk_fill_super() incorrectly and unnecessarily set the Smack label for the smackfs root inode. The assignment has been removed.
