Subject: [PATCH] apparmor: use per file locks for transactional queries
Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2021 01:23:55 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210730052355.77289-1-someguy@effective-light.com> (raw)

As made mention of in commit 1dea3b41e84c5 ("apparmor: speed up
transactional queries"), a single lock is currently used to synchronize
transactional queries. We can, use the lock allocated for each file by
VFS instead.
