Sigh.  I sent the diffstat from when I sent the additional patches
out for review instead of the diffstat for the entire branch I was
asking you to pull.

I really should have named things differently on my end when I sent
the additional changes out for review.

The correct diffstat should have been.

 include/linux/user_namespace.h |  2 ++
 kernel/cred.c                  |  9 ++++----
 kernel/signal.c                | 25 ++++++---------------
 kernel/ucount.c                | 49 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 security/keys/process_keys.c   |  8 +++++++
 5 files changed, 69 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-)

You are exactly right.

My apologies for the confusion.
