[PATCH 2/3] selinux: hooks: use __getname() to allocate path buffer

Wed May 20 08:18:56 UTC 2026
selinux_genfs_get_sid() allocates memory for a path with __get_free_page()
although there is a dedicated helper for allocation of file paths:
__getname().
Replace __get_free_page() for allocation of a path buffer with __getname().
