The normal way to send out these patches is as three emails; a 0/2 cover letter, 1/2 replying to 0/2 and 2/2 also replying to 0/2.

You seem to not understand that there is disagreement on the semantics of mseal(). I mean, ther's been a lot of arguing about that over the last week. There's understanable reluctance to accept a large pile of tests saying "this just ensures that mseal behaves the way I think it should", when there is substantial disagreement that the way you think it should behave is in fact the way it should behave. Be prepared to argue for each semantic that you think it should have. > I will add a cover letter, split the tests and add more comments to > help the review. Thank you.
