Any word on this patch making its way upstream? Or is there something
else I need to do?
It's still on my todo list. I expect to finish the review soonish and have
it in the next release.
thanks, Pádraig.
Excellent. Thanks. BTW We just received a patch from Ondrej Oprala for
libselinux which according to him,
"I tested the patched libselinux with
$cp -a dir1 dir2
and got an approx. 20% save in instruction count. "
Basically the patch caches calls to setfscreatecon() and if the context is the
same as the previous call, it does a noop (Well it needs to do a strcmp) but
does not need to write to the /sys/fs/selinux file system.
Should make large cp's which maintain attributes, work a little faster. Or
any other tools in coreutils that do lots of setfscreatecon calls.
rpm -q libselinux
libselinux-2.1.12-12.fc19.x86_64
Cool, I hinted at that here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2013-01/msg00013.html
So we won't need to worry about a coreutils patch for that.
thanks,
Pádraig.
