Hi David,

Sorry for the late notice, but just looking at it again I think the patch
"ecryptfs: fix out-of-bounds read of key payload" is broken because the
->private_key is of variable-length.  See
ecryptfs_add_key_module_key_to_keyring() in ecryptfs-utils.

So can you please drop the following two patches:

	ecryptfs: fix out-of-bounds read of key payload
	ecryptfs: move key payload accessor functions into keystore.c

I'll fix them and try to get Tyler Hicks to take them through the ecryptfs tree
later instead.

Eric
