From 41c3bd2039e0d7b3dc32313141773f20716ec524 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Moore Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2014 11:17:03 -0400 Subject: netlabel: fix a problem when setting bits below the previously lowest bit The NetLabel category (catmap) functions have a problem in that they assume categories will be set in an increasing manner, e.g. the next category set will always be larger than the last. Unfortunately, this is not a valid assumption and could result in problems when attempting to set categories less than the startbit in the lowest catmap node. In some cases kernel panics and other nasties can result. This patch corrects the problem by checking for this and allocating a new catmap node instance and placing it at the front of the list.
