Subject: Re: [PATCH] proc: Allow restricting permissions in /proc/sys

Ah! I see the v2 here now. :) Can you please include that in your
Subject next time, as "[PATCH v2] proc: Allow restricting permissions
in /proc/sys"? Also, can you adjust your MUA to not send a duplicate
attachment? The patch inline is fine.

Please CC akpm as well, since I think this should likely go through the
-mm tree.

Eric, do you have any other thoughts on this?

Thanks!
