SubjectRe: [PATCH 02/14] LSM/SELinux: inode_{get,set,notify}secctx hooks to access LSM security context information.
Quoting David P. Quigley (dpquigl@tycho.nsa.gov):
> This patch introduces three new hooks. The inode_getsecctx hook is used to get
> all relevant information from an LSM about an inode. The inode_setsecctx is
> used to set both the in-core and on-disk state for the inode based on a context
> derived from inode_getsecctx.The final hook inode_notifysecctx will notify the
> LSM of a change for the in-core state of the inode in question. These hooks are
> for use in the labeled NFS code and addresses concerns of how to set security
> on an inode in a multi-xattr LSM. For historical reasons Stephen Smalley's
> explanation of the reason for these hooks is pasted below.

sentence above is odd. How about

@ctx is a pointer in which to place the allocated security context

'called with inode->i_mutex locked' would make more sense here.
Requirements on the callers would make more sense in the comments
in include/linux/security.h, right?

No code objections, though.
