[PATCH 7/8] SELinux: Create a common helper to determine an inode label

From: David Howells
Date: Thu Jun 18 2015 - 09:34:41 EST


Create a common helper function to determine the label for a new inode. This
is then used by:

- may_create()
- selinux_dentry_init_security()
- selinux_inode_init_security()
- selinux_file_open_union()

This will change the behaviour of the first two functions slightly, bringing
them into line with the third. The fourth function is newly created in a
preceding patch and applied only in the case of a filesystem union or overlay.
