I see. Konstantin, the question is what is more convenient way to update the
patch in linux-next. The c-r-prctl-add-ability-to-set-new-mm_struct-exe_file.patch
is in -mm already, so I either should wait until Andrew pick your series up and
send updating patch on top, or I could fetch your series, update my patch and
send it here as reply. Hmm?
