linux-next: manual merge of the slab tree with the slab-fixes tree
Posted by Mark Brown 2 weeks, 2 days ago
Hi all,

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

  mm/slub.c

between commit:

  99a3e3a1cfc93 ("slab: fix kmalloc_nolock() context check for PREEMPT_RT")

from the slab-fixes tree and commit:

  da6ed0180825d ("slab: simplify kmalloc_nolock()")
  a4ae75d1b6a24 ("slab: fix kmalloc_nolock() context check for PREEMPT_RT")

from the slab 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.
