2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Mimi Zohar commit 6c1488fd581a447ec87c4b59f0d33f95f0aa441b upstream. When creating a new file, ima_path_check() assumed the new file was being opened for write. Call ima_path_check() with the appropriate acc_mode so that the read/write counters are incremented correctly.
