From b197367ed1ba81b0d26f7e7f76f61731ac6e5842 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Gruenbacher Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2016 23:12:33 +0100 Subject: selinux: Inode label revalidation performance fix Commit 5d226df4 has introduced a performance regression of about 10% in the UnixBench pipe benchmark. It turns out that the call to inode_security in selinux_file_permission can be moved below the zero-mask test and that inode_security_revalidate can be removed entirely, which brings us back to roughly the original performance.
