[PATCH 14/20] SELinux: drop load_mutex in security_load_policy
From: James Morris <jmorris_at_nospam>Date: Mon Jul 07 2008 - 16:42:16 GMT
To: linux-security-module@vger.kernel.org
From: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
We used to protect against races of policy load in security_load_policy by using the load_mutex. Since then we have added a new mutex, sel_mutex, in sel_write_load() which is always held across all calls to security_load_policy we are covered and can safely just drop this one.
