[20/37] SELinux: no BUG_ON(!ss_initialized) inselinux_clone_mnt_opts

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Apr 29 2008 - 13:28:45 EST


2.6.25-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------
From: Eric Paris <eparis@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 0f5e64200f20fc8f5b759c4010082f577ab0af3f upstream

The Fedora installer actually makes multiple NFS mounts before it loads
selinux policy. The code in selinux_clone_mnt_opts() assumed that the
init process would always be loading policy before NFS was up and
running. It might be possible to hit this in a diskless environment as
well, I'm not sure. There is no need to BUG_ON() in this situation
since we can safely continue given the circumstances.
