Subject: [PATCH] kernel/printk/printk.c: check_syslog_permissions() cleanup
Date: Sun, 10 May 2015 09:35:53 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <554EFC49.2020800@odin.com> (raw)

Fixes: 637241a900cb ("kmsg: honor dmesg_restrict sysctl on /dev/kmsg")

Final version of patch 637241a900cb ("kmsg: honor dmesg_restrict sysctl
on /dev/kmsg") lost few hooks. As result security_syslog() is not checked
inside check_syslog_permissions() if dmesg_restrict is set,
or it can be called twice in do_syslog().
