** Description changed:

- Evince makes openafs to kernel oops.
+ Impact:
+ Kernel oops when Evince encounters an AFS-based file in its history list
  
- Note that I'm not opening a file in AFS when it ooopses, but I had
- previously, i.e it finds the file in AFS in the recently used files
- list. Opening the files in AFS did work.
+ How the patch addresses it:
+ Adds credential tracking for AppArmor to AFS
+ 
+ Test case:
+ Open a file from /afs in Evince
+ Close it
+ Wait a while for credentials to expire
+ Open a non-AFS file in Evince
+ Watch it crash
+ 
+ Regression potential:
+ I don't see anything in the patch that looks dangerous.
