Hi Andrew, Today's linux-next merge of the akpm-current tree got a conflict in: kernel/fork.c between commit: 962b2ff950dd ("fork: Define usercopy region in mm_struct slab caches") 41359fc82cc7 ("fork: Provide usercopy whitelisting for task_struct") from the kspp tree and commit: 9738ce7db723 ("kmemcheck: stop using GFP_NOTRACK and SLAB_NOTRACK") from the akpm-current 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. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell diff --cc kernel/fork.c index 87bc10bb2b5a,f28d946586c5..000000000000 --- a/kernel/fork.c +++ b/kernel/fork.c @@@ -481,14 -701,11 +717,14 @@@ void __init fork_init(void #define ARCH_MIN_TASKALIGN 0 #endif int align = max_t(int, L1_CACHE_BYTES, ARCH_MIN_TASKALIGN); + unsigned long useroffset, usersize; /* create a slab on which task_structs can be allocated */ - task_struct_cachep = kmem_cache_create("task_struct", + task_struct_whitelist(&useroffset, &usersize); + task_struct_cachep = kmem_cache_create_usercopy("task_struct", arch_task_struct_size, align, - SLAB_PANIC|SLAB_NOTRACK|SLAB_ACCOUNT, - SLAB_PANIC|SLAB_ACCOUNT, NULL); ++ SLAB_PANIC|SLAB_ACCOUNT, + useroffset, usersize, NULL); #endif /* do the arch specific task caches init */ @@@ -2248,11 -2250,9 +2269,11 @@@ void __init proc_caches_init(void * maximum number of CPU's we can ever have.
