Hi Stephen,

FYI, I pushed out Petko's patch to linux-integrity/next earlier today.
His patch moves taking the ima_write_mutex to after the the call to
copy_from_user(), as discussed.  This obviously won't fix the conflict
with Al's patch.  How do you want to handle it?  Do I need to do
anything?

Thanks!

Mimi
