Subject: Re: [PATCH v5 0/6] seccomp: add PR_SECCOMP_EXT and SECCOMP_EXT_ACT_TSYNC

Hi Andrew,

Would you be willing to carry this series? Andy Lutomirski appears
happy with it now. (Thanks again for all the feedback Andy!) If so, it
has a relatively small merge conflict with the bpf changes living in
net-next. Would you prefer I rebase against net-next, let sfr handle
it, get carried in net-next, or some other option?

Thanks!

-Kees
