[PATCH] SELinux - fix hard link count for selinuxfs root directory

From: James Morris
Date: Mon Feb 27 2006 - 15:21:19 EST


A further fix is needed for selinuxfs link count management, to ensure
that the count is correct for the parent directory when a subdirectory is
created. This is only required for the root directory currently, but the
code has been updated for the general case.

Please apply.
