Subject: [GIT PULL REQUEST] md updates for 4.2-rc
Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2015 08:10:22 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150805081022.0ee9dac5@noble> (raw)


One of these patches is for a CVE:  CVE-2015-5697

I'm not convinced it is serious (data leak from CAP_SYS_ADMIN ioctl)
but as people seem to want to back-port it, I've included a minimal
version here.  The remainder of that patch from Benjamin is
code-cleanup and will arrive in the 4.3 merge window.
