And I really want signed tags for non-kernel.org pull requests. Digging at that repo, I do find the tag, it's 'tags/Smack-for-5.11-io_uring-fix' and it has a proper pgp signature from you. So I pulled that one. But please don't make me search for these things. Linus

Thank you!
Hello Linus Sorry for the 2nd pull request, but this is a fairly important fix for the privilege handling of smackfs in the face of io_uring. The novel use of kernel threads in io_uring invalidated an long standing assumption regarding the privilege of kernel threads. The fix is simple and safe. It was provided by Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> and has been tested. -- The following changes since commit 9b0072e2b2b588ad75c94f2c6e6c52c8f4bd2657: security/smack: remove unused varible 'rc' (2020-11-16 17:26:31 -0800) are available in the Git repository at: https://github.com/cschaufler/smack-next smack-for-5.11 for you to fetch changes up to 942cb357ae7d9249088e3687ee6a00ed2745a0c7: Smack: Handle io_uring kernel thread privileges (2020-12-22 15:34:24 -0800) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Casey Schaufler (1): Smack: Handle io_uring kernel thread privileges security/smack/smack_access.c | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
