Subject: [PATCH] SELinux: 0/3-v3 clean up locking and semaphore usage From: Eric Paris To: selinux@tycho.nsa.gov Cc: sds@tycho.nsa.gov, James Morris Content-Type: text/plain Date: Thu, 03 Aug 2006 17:07:36 -0400 Message-Id: <1154639256.8428.36.camel@localhost.localdomain> Mime-Version: 1.0 Sender: owner-selinux@tycho.nsa.gov List-Id: selinux@tycho.nsa.gov The following patch set attempts to do a little cleanup in SELinux code concerning the usage of semaphores which we init to 1. First off there is nothing wrong with semaphores but with the introduction of simple mutexes a slightly faster interface is available (see Documentation/mutex-design.txt) Since mutexes save time and space I'm going to deal with both of the semaphores I see in the selinux code.
