linux-next: manual merge of the vfs tree with the mm-unstable tree

Posted by Stephen Rothwell 3 months, 3 weeks ago

Hi all,

Today's linux-next merge of the fs-next tree got a conflict in:

  include/linux/proc_fs.h

between commit:

  e4cbb84d3ce3 ("proc: use the same treatment to check proc_lseek as ones for proc_read_iter et.al")

from the mm-unstable tree and commit:

  5943c611c47c ("procfs: kill ->proc_dops")

from the fs-next tree.

I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary. This
is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial
conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer when your tree
is submitted for merging.  You may also want to consider cooperating
with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any particularly
complex conflicts.

This is now a conflict between the mm-stable tree and Linus' tree.
