Are there known clashes with the creds work? If so, Certainly with the overall creds work. I haven't looked in creds-next-subsys yet to see if it conflicts. I'll go ahead and port later this week or early next. > the fixups could be carried in linux-next, or generate them against > creds-next-subsys for inclusion after that. creds-next-subsys is not yet feeding into linux-next, right? So I should wait until they hit linux-next? (It makes more sense for me to port userns on top of creds than for David to port creds on top of my patches anyway. I'm actually a bit afraid that my refcounting will be complicated by struct creds, but we'll see) thanks, -serge _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
