Commit 5d226df4 has introduced a performance regression of about 10% in the UnixBench pipe benchmark. It turns out that the call to inode_security in selinux_file_permission can be moved below the zero-mask test and that inode_security_revalidate can be removed entirely, which brings us back to roughly the original performance.
