[PATCH] apparmor: Fix network performance issue in aa_label_sk_perm
From: Tony Jones
Date: Fri Sep 07 2018 - 00:34:04 EST
The netperf benchmark shows a 5.73% reduction in throughput for
small (64 byte) transfers by unconfined tasks.
DEFINE_AUDIT_SK() in aa_label_sk_perm() should not be performed
unconditionally, rather only when the label is confined.
