Subject: Re: linux-next: build failure after merge of the akpm tree

Hi,

This is weird -- my original patch doesn't touch audit_get_sessionid() at all:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/kees/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=7bbfec58ed33d5e74043530b87992f16da718ba2

The patch in linux-next (currently
e269b4131288512ebfe2adfe69042983cb2e69e5) got mangled to include
removing it, possibly triggered by the audit_get_loginuid() changes
("userns: Convert the audit loginuid  to be a kuid"). These shouldn't
be removed:

#define audit_get_loginuid(t) (INVALID_UID)
#define audit_get_sessionid(t) (-1)

I'll send an updated patch that'll apply on top of what's in linux-next.

Thanks!

-Kees
