So the pipe patches were the same, the problem was that a fix for a
missing pipe_unlock() had gone into mainline and for-linus/for-next
weren't synced up to that. I'm guessing you pull drbd before for-next
and that is why it showed up there.
BTW, I would recommend moving for-next from the block tree up before any
potential other trees being based off it if that is the case.
