SELinux fixups needed for preemptable RCU from -rt
The attached patch needs to move from -rt to mainline given preemptable RCU. This patch fixes SELinux code that implicitly assumes that disabling preemption prevents an RCU grace period from completing, an assumption that is valid for Classic RCU, but not necessarily for preemptable RCU. Explicit rcu_read_lock() calls are thus added. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
