Subject: [PATCH] apparmor: Fix network performance issue in aa_label_sk_perm
Date:   Thu,  6 Sep 2018 21:33:57 -0700
Message-Id: <20180907043357.4638-1-tonyj@suse.de>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The netperf benchmark shows a 5.73% reduction in throughput for 
small (64 byte) transfers by unconfined tasks.

DEFINE_AUDIT_SK() in aa_label_sk_perm() should not be performed 
unconditionally, rather only when the label is confined.
