Subject: [PATCH 3.12 203/235] apparmor: fix replacement bug that adds new child to old parent

From: John Johansen <john.johansen@...onical.com>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit ec34fa24a934f4c8fd68f39b84abf34c42e5b06a upstream.

When set atomic replacement is used and the parent is updated before the
child, and the child did not exist in the old parent so there is no
direct replacement then the new child is incorrectly added to the old
parent. This results in the new parent not having the child(ren) that
it should and the old parent when being destroyed asserting the
following error.

AppArmor: policy_destroy: internal error, policy '<profile/name>' still
contains profiles
