From 89abd0acf0335f3f760a3c0698d43bb1eaa83e44 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2008 15:58:04 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] SELinux: drop load_mutex in security_load_policy We used to protect against races of policy load in security_load_policy by using the load_mutex. Since then we have added a new mutex, sel_mutex, in sel_write_load() which is always held across all calls to security_load_policy we are covered and can safely just drop this one.
