linux-next: manual merge of the akpm-current tree with the block tree

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

Today's linux-next merge of the akpm-current tree got a conflict in:

  fs/sync.c

between commit:

  22f96b3808c1 ("fs: add sync_file_range() helper")

from the block tree and commit:

  9a8d18789a18 ("fs/sync.c: sync_file_range(2) may use WB_SYNC_ALL writeback")

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.
