Subject: Re: linux-next: unusual update of the security tree

Any suggestions on how to fix this?  That branch is public, and what 
people use to develop against, so I can't rebase it.

One of the issues addressed had to     do with the termination of read requests on /smack/load.     This change introduced a error in /smack/cipso, which shares     some of the same list processing code.
