Lokesh, I'm assuming you made the changes in the brackets above?  If
so they should include your initials or some other means of
attributing them to you, e.g. "[LG: Fix error ...]".

Is it necessary to pass both the context_inode pointer and the secure
boolean?  It seems like if context_inode is non-NULL then one could
assume that a secure anonymous inode was requested; is there ever
going to be a case where this is not true?
