It has not been posted to the linux-audit mail list for review...so I don't think it should be in the -mm tree just yet. We need to put it into the lspp kernel first and let people do regression tests to make sure that we have not introduced a problem. The flow really needs to be: lspp kernel-> -mm tree-> linus tree. I think Amy's patches fall into this same category, meaning they need to be run in the lspp kernel first to make sure we agree that they meet our needs before sending on to a larger community. The string interface patches have had enough run time in lspp kernel that they can be moved to -mm tree. As a matter of fact, some of Dustin's work depends on these patches and his is ready to go into -mm tree, too (including the leak patch). The only controversial work is the patches that touch inotify and Jason's performance patch. I'd feel better if they get testing in lspp kernel first. -Steve
