Subject: [PATCH] (2.6.24-rc3-mm2) -mm Smack mutex, capability, pointers, and
spelling cleanup
From: Casey Schaufler <casey@...aufler-ca.com>
Addresses comments from akpm.
Clean out unnecessary mutex initializations for Smack list locks.
Once this is done, there is no need for them to be shared among
multiple files, so pull them out of the header file and put them
in the files where they belong. Make them static, too.
Pull unnecessary locking from smack_inode_setsecurity, it used
to be required when the assignment was not guaranteed to be a
scalar value but isn't now.
Change uses of __capable(current,...) to capable(...).
Take out an inappropriate cast. Use container_of() instead
of doing the same calculation by hand.
Fix comment spelling errors.
