Subject: [RFC][PATCH v1 1/9] vfs: extend vfs_removexattr locking
Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:13:56 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1327961644-6886-2-git-send-email-zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1327961644-6886-1-git-send-email-zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
This patch takes the i_mutex lock before security_inode_removexattr(),
instead of after, in preparation of calling ima_inode_removexattr().
