Subject: [PATCH 1/4] AppArmor: Drop hack to remove appended " (deleted)" string
Date: Fri, 27 Aug 2010 18:33:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1282959209-5431-2-git-send-email-john.johansen@canonical.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1282959209-5431-1-git-send-email-john.johansen@canonical.com>

The 2.6.36 kernel has refactored __d_path() so that it no longer appends
" (deleted)" to unlinked paths.  So drop the hack that was used to detect
and remove the appended string.
