[PATCH 4/5] reiserfs: fixes to allow reiserfs to use selinux attributes

From: Jeffrey Mahoney
Date: Sat Nov 20 2004 - 19:21:06 EST


This patch adds the selinux private flag to inodes marked as reiserfs-private.

It also avoids the use of vfs_rmdir, since it will use the selinux permissions
check. The permission checks aren't valid in this context. Also, some of the
checks performed are superfluous for this case.
