Hi Al, Today's linux-next merge of the vfs tree got a conflict in: fs/cifs/cifsfs.c between commit: a9ae008f407b ("cifs: Switch to generic xattr handlers") from Linus' tree and commit: 51085a1f913a ("cifs: use C99 syntax for inode_operations initializer") from the vfs 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. Al: the c99 fixup is not really necessary as the line is commented out and you didn't fix the one in the line above ... a better fix might be to delete both those lines? -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell diff --cc fs/cifs/cifsfs.c index 67f622df0858,586d4eadd49e..000000000000 --- a/fs/cifs/cifsfs.c +++ b/fs/cifs/cifsfs.c @@@ -917,11 -919,13 +917,11 @@@ const struct inode_operations cifs_syml .permission = cifs_permission, /* BB add the following two eventually */ /* revalidate: cifs_revalidate, - setattr: cifs_notify_change, *//* BB do we need notify change */ + .setattr = cifs_notify_change, *//* BB do we need notify change */ -#ifdef CONFIG_CIFS_XATTR - .setxattr = cifs_setxattr, - .getxattr = cifs_getxattr, + .setxattr = generic_setxattr, + .getxattr = generic_getxattr, .listxattr = cifs_listxattr, - .removexattr = cifs_removexattr, -#endif + .removexattr = generic_removexattr, }; static int cifs_clone_file_range(struct file *src_file, loff_t off, -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
