SubjectRe: [PATCH 01/14] VFS: Factor out part of vfs_setxattr so it can be called from the SELinux hook for inode_setsecctx.
Quoting David P. Quigley (dpquigl@tycho.nsa.gov):
> This factors out the part of the vfs_setxattr function that performs the
> setting of the xattr and its notification. This is needed so the SELinux
> implementation of inode_setsecctx can handle the setting of it's xattr while

This part surely looks reasonable.
