Hi all, Today's linux-next merge of the akpm tree got a conflict in: mm/swap.c between commit: b01b21419999 ("mm/swap: Use local_lock for protection") from the tip tree and patch: "mm/swap.c: annotate data races for lru_rotate_pvecs" from the akpm 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 --git a/mm/swap.c b/mm/swap.c index a8442ed0bb16..936d6b545217 100644 --- a/mm/swap.c +++ b/mm/swap.c @@ -620,7 +620,8 @@ void lru_add_drain_cpu(int cpu) __pagevec_lru_add(pvec); pvec = &per_cpu(lru_rotate.pvec, cpu); - if (pagevec_count(pvec)) { + /* Disabling interrupts below acts as a compiler barrier. */ + if (data_race(pagevec_count(pvec))) { unsigned long flags; /* No harm done if a racing interrupt already did this */ @@ -781,7 +782,7 @@ void lru_add_drain_all(void) struct work_struct *work = &per_cpu(lru_add_drain_work, cpu); if (pagevec_count(&per_cpu(lru_pvecs.lru_add, cpu)) || - pagevec_count(&per_cpu(lru_rotate.pvec, cpu)) || + data_race(pagevec_count(&per_cpu(lru_rotate.pvec, cpu))) || pagevec_count(&per_cpu(lru_pvecs.lru_deactivate_file, cpu)) || pagevec_count(&per_cpu(lru_pvecs.lru_deactivate, cpu)) || pagevec_count(&per_cpu(lru_pvecs.lru_lazyfree, cpu)) ||
