Re: [PATCH] tomoyo: Don't check open/getattr permission on sockets.

[Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp>]

Hello, Al.

Q1: Do you agree that we should fix TOMOYO side rather than SOCKET_I()->sk
    management.

Q2: Do you see any problem with using f->f_path.dentry->d_inode ?
    Do we need to use d_backing_inode() or d_inode() ?

Regards.
