From 788e7dd4c22e6f41b3a118fd8c291f831f6fddbb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuichi Nakamura Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2007 09:27:07 +0900 Subject: SELinux: Improve read/write performance It reduces the selinux overhead on read/write by only revalidating permissions in selinux_file_permission if the task or inode labels have changed or the policy has changed since the open-time check. A new LSM hook, security_dentry_open, is added to capture the necessary state at open time to allow this optimization.
