Subject: selinux: Inode label revalidation performance fix
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b197367ed1ba81b0d26f7e7f76f61731ac6e5842;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

selinux: Inode label revalidation performance fix

Commit 5d226df4 has introduced a performance regression of about
10% in the UnixBench pipe benchmark.  It turns out that the call
to inode_security in selinux_file_permission can be moved below
the zero-mask test and that inode_security_revalidate can be
removed entirely, which brings us back to roughly the original
performance.
