Thanks, Dmitry. James, I'll send you a pull request shortly for Linus,
deferring one patch until the 3.19 open window.

For-Linus:
[PATCH v3 1/3] ima: check xattr value length and type in the ima_inode_setxattr()
[P
ATCH v3 1/1] evm: check xattr value
length and type in
evm_inode_setxattr()

3.19: [v3 2/3] ima: limit file hash setting by user to fix and log modes

Mimi
