[PATCH 12/12] selinux: preserve boolean values across policy reloads

From: James Morris
Date: Thu Apr 26 2007 - 02:19:44 EST


From: Stephen Smalley <sds@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

At present, the userland policy loading code has to go through contortions
to preserve boolean values across policy reloads, and cannot do so
atomically. As this is what we always want to do for reloads, let the
kernel preserve them instead.
