Actually I was not even aware of the problem at all. The Patch "exec: Add exec_update_mutex to replace cred_guard_mutex" was initially reviewed-by: bernd.edlinger@xxxxxxxxxx but it turned out to be faulty, so I update your patch faithfully, and did a small change to fix the patch, therefore it is actually 99% your and 1% my patch, therefore I figured I should be in a signed-off-by: together with you. BTW: I saw a Reviewed-by: Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> on the mailing list, you should add that as well. Thanks Bernd.
