Note currently this doesn't appear to cause bugs since the only inode_getsecctx caller I can find is fs/sysfs/inode.c, which only calls this if security_inode_setsecurity succeeds. Assuming security_inode_setsecurity is set to cap_inode_setsecurity whenever inode_getsecctx is set to cap_inode_getsecctx, this function can never actually called. So I noticed this only because the server labeled NFS patches add a real caller. Acked-by: Serge E. Hallyn Signed-off-by: J.
