Hi Al, Today's linux-next merge of the vfs tree got a conflict in: fs/dcache.c between commit: f9c34674bc60 ("vfs: factor out helpers d_instantiate_anon() and d_alloc_anon()") from the overlayfs tree and commit: f1ee616214cb ("VFS: don't keep disconnected dentries on d_anon") 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. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell diff --cc fs/dcache.c index 99bce0ed0213,17e6b84b9656..000000000000 --- a/fs/dcache.c +++ b/fs/dcache.c @@@ -1954,16 -1961,18 +1953,18 @@@ static struct dentry *__d_instantiate_a if (disconnected) add_flags |= DCACHE_DISCONNECTED; - spin_lock(&tmp->d_lock); - __d_set_inode_and_type(tmp, inode, add_flags); - hlist_add_head(&tmp->d_u.d_alias, &inode->i_dentry); + spin_lock(&dentry->d_lock); + __d_set_inode_and_type(dentry, inode, add_flags); + hlist_add_head(&dentry->d_u.d_alias, &inode->i_dentry); - hlist_bl_lock(&dentry->d_sb->s_anon); - hlist_bl_add_head(&dentry->d_hash, &dentry->d_sb->s_anon); - hlist_bl_unlock(&dentry->d_sb->s_anon); + if (!disconnected) { - hlist_bl_lock(&tmp->d_sb->s_roots); - hlist_bl_add_head(&tmp->d_hash, &tmp->d_sb->s_roots); - hlist_bl_unlock(&tmp->d_sb->s_roots); ++ hlist_bl_lock(&dentry->d_sb->s_roots); ++ hlist_bl_add_head(&dentry->d_hash, &tmp->d_sb->s_roots); ++ hlist_bl_unlock(&dentry->d_sb->s_roots); + } - spin_unlock(&tmp->d_lock); + spin_unlock(&dentry->d_lock); spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock); - return tmp; + return dentry; out_iput: iput(inode); -- 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
