I just realized that include/linux/refcount.h didn't make it into v4.10 which means there is going to be delay until I merge them into the audit tree (I don't base the tree on -rc releases except under extreme circumstances). I've got the patches queued up in a private holding branch (I added #includes BTW) so I won't forget, but as a FYI, they likely won't make it in until v4.12. -- paul moore www.paul-moore.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe cgroups" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
