Hi all, Today's linux-next merge of the akpm-current tree got conflicts in: tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/common_tests tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/run_numerictests tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/run_stringtests between commit: d644437a1dc6 ("tools/testing/selftests/sysctl: Add pre-check to the value of writes_strict") from the kselftest tree and commit: fed7038685f3 ("test_sysctl: add generic script to expand on tests") from the akpm-current tree. I fixed it up (I removed the files and so, for now I have effectively dropped the kselftest tree 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. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell -- 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
