[RFC][PATCH 2/7] selinux: label new file descriptors using file->f_cred

From: Roberto Sassu
Date: Wed Apr 27 2011 - 08:36:36 EST


New file descriptors are labeled using the credentials set in the 'f_cred'
field of the same structure. This permits to distinguish objects directly
managed by a user process from those created by a kernel service acting
on behalf of the application.
