Hello, Al!
I have noticed that Mozilla Firefox gets stuck for seconds or minutes
on some sites, in particular on Facebook with Linux 3.7-rc1 and newer
mainline kernels. Disabling flash plugin fixes the delays.
This is a Fedora 17 system with SELinux enabled, on x86_64
architecture, with all updates, with LXDE desktop. It's not the
Fedora 16 system I mentioned before, it has never had LXDE login
problems due to replace_fd().
Bisecting lead me to the patch that introduced iterate_fd():

new helper: iterate_fd()
iterates through the opened files in given descriptor table,
calling a supplied function; we stop once non-zero is returned.
Callback gets struct file *, descriptor number and const void *
argument passed to iterator. It is called with files->file_lock
held, so it is not allowed to block.
tty_io, netprio_cgroup and selinux flush_unauthorized_files()
converted to its use.

I have found that reverting the changes to security/selinux/hooks.c is
sufficient to restore the correct behavior.
