[v2,10/11] LSM: fix documentation for the shm_* hooks

Commit Message

Denis Efremov Feb. 26, 2019, 8:49 p.m. UTC

The shm_* hooks were changed in the commit
"shm/security: Pass kern_ipc_perm not shmid_kernel into the
shm security hooks" (7191adff2a55). The type of the argument
shp was changed from shmid_kernel to kern_ipc_perm. This patch
updates the documentation for the hooks accordingly.
