Hi Shaohua, Today's linux-next merge of the md tree got a conflict in: drivers/md/md.c between commit: 70fd76140a6c ("block,fs: use REQ_* flags directly") from the block tree and commit: 46533ff7fefb ("md: Use REQ_FAILFAST_* on metadata writes where appropriate") from the md tree. I fixed it up (I think - 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. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell diff --cc drivers/md/md.c index f975cd08923d,c7894fbbd8e5..000000000000 --- a/drivers/md/md.c +++ b/drivers/md/md.c @@@ -743,7 -765,12 +765,12 @@@ void md_super_write(struct mddev *mddev bio_add_page(bio, page, size, 0); bio->bi_private = rdev; bio->bi_end_io = super_written; - bio->bi_opf = REQ_OP_WRITE | REQ_PREFLUSH | REQ_FUA; + + if (test_bit(MD_FAILFAST_SUPPORTED, &mddev->flags) && + test_bit(FailFast, &rdev->flags) && + !test_bit(LastDev, &rdev->flags)) + ff = MD_FAILFAST; - bio_set_op_attrs(bio, REQ_OP_WRITE, WRITE_FLUSH_FUA | ff); ++ bio->bi_opf = REQ_OP_WRITE | REQ_PREFLUSH | REQ_FUA | ff; atomic_inc(&mddev->pending_writes); submit_bio(bio); -- 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
