Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> As for SMACK's use of NetLabel - it looks fine to me, especially now that there is better preservation of the NetLabel/LSM boundary. As has been discussed on the various lists during earlier revisions of the patch I believe there are still some optimizations that can be made regarding how SMACK uses NetLabel but that is something we can always work on at a later date.
