From ffb733c65000ee701294f7b80c4eca2a5f335637 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "paul.moore@hp.com" Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2006 11:46:31 -0400 Subject: NetLabel: fix a cache race condition Testing revealed a problem with the NetLabel cache where a cached entry could be freed while in use by the LSM layer causing an oops and other problems. This patch fixes that problem by introducing a reference counter to the cache entry so that it is only freed when it is no longer in use.
