Hi Paul,
Today's linux-next merge of the rcu tree got a conflict in:
kernel/rcu/tree.c
between commit:
6428671bae97 ("locking/mutex: Optimize mutex_trylock() fast-path")
from the tip tree and commit:
3991b105efd5 ("rcu: Move expedited code from tree.c to tree_exp.h")
from the rcu tree.
I fixed it up (I used tree.c from the rcu tree and then applied the
following fic up patch) 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.
