From 606531c316d30e9639473a6da09ee917125ab467 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 15:54:14 +0100 Subject: KEYS: Have the garbage collector set its timer for live expired keys The key garbage collector sets a timer to start a new collection cycle at the point the earliest key to expire should be considered garbage. However, it currently only does this if the key it is considering hasn't yet expired. If the key being considering has expired, but hasn't yet reached the collection time then it is ignored, and won't be collected until some other key provokes a round of collection. Make the garbage collector set the timer for the earliest key that hasn't yet passed its collection time, rather than the earliest key that hasn't yet expired.

This means that between the time the selinux disable code destroys the avc_node_cachep another process could make a security request and could try to allocate from the cache. We are just going to leave the cachep around, like we always have. SELinux: Disabled at runtime.
