Other than Casey's comments, and ACK, I'm not seeing much commentary
on this patch so FS and LSM folks consider this your last chance - if
I don't hear any objections by the end of this week I'll plan on
merging this into selinux/next next week.

Please consider it is summer time so people may be on vacation like I was...

This is one of the reasons why I was speaking to the mailing list and
not a particular individual :)

Jan is fsnotify maintainer, so I think you should wait for an explicit ACK
from Jan or just merge the hook definition and ask Jan to merge to
fsnotify security hooks.

Aaron posted his first patch a month ago in the beginning of July and I
don't recall seeing any comments from Jan on any of the patch revisions.
I would feel much better with an ACK/Reviewed-by from Jan, or you - which
is why I sent that email - but I'm not going to wait forever and I'd like
to get this into -next soon so we can get some testing.

Yeah, sorry for the delays. I'm aware of the patch but I was also on
vacation and pretty busy at work so Amir always beat me in commenting on
the patch and I didn't have much to add. Once Aaron fixes the latest
comments from Amir, I'll give the patch the final look and give my ack.

I already re-spun the patch with the changes Amir and I agreed to. There was an email with the PATCH v2. It may have flown under the radar a bit, so just wanted to point that out.
