[PATCH 05/11] IMA: use inode->i_lock to protect read and writecounters

From: Eric Paris
Date: Mon Oct 25 2010 - 14:43:24 EST


Currently IMA used the iint->mutex to protect the i_readcount and
i_writecount. This patch uses the inode->i_lock since we are going to
start using in inode objects and that is the most appropriate lock.
