[PATCH] Smack: check permissions from user space

From: Jarkko Sakkinen
Date: Mon Aug 29 2011 - 01:45:16 EST


Adds a new file into SmackFS called 'access'. Wanted
Smack permission is written into /smack/access.
After that result can be read from the opened file.
If access applies result contains 1 and otherwise
0. File access is protected from race conditions
by using simple_transaction_get()/set() API.
