Hi all, Today's linux-next merge of the net-next tree got a conflict in: net/ax25/af_ax25.c between commit: d7c4c9e075f8c ("ax25: fix incorrect dev_tracker usage") from the net tree and commit: d62607c3fe459 ("net: rename reference+tracking helpers") from the net-next 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. diff --cc net/ax25/af_ax25.c index 5b5363c99ed50,bbac3cb4dc99d..0000000000000 --- a/net/ax25/af_ax25.c +++ b/net/ax25/af_ax25.c @@@ -102,7 -102,8 +102,8 @@@ again ax25_disconnect(s, ENETUNREACH); s->ax25_dev = NULL; if (sk->sk_socket) { - dev_put_track(ax25_dev->dev, &ax25_dev->dev_tracker); + netdev_put(ax25_dev->dev, - &ax25_dev->dev_tracker); ++ &ax25->dev_tracker); ax25_dev_put(ax25_dev); } ax25_cb_del(s); @@@ -1065,7 -1066,7 +1066,7 @@@ static int ax25_release(struct socket * del_timer_sync(&ax25->t3timer); del_timer_sync(&ax25->idletimer); } - dev_put_track(ax25_dev->dev, &ax25->dev_tracker); - netdev_put(ax25_dev->dev, &ax25_dev->dev_tracker); ++ netdev_put(ax25_dev->dev, &ax25->dev_tracker); ax25_dev_put(ax25_dev); } @@@ -1146,7 -1147,7 +1147,7 @@@ static int ax25_bind(struct socket *soc if (ax25_dev) { ax25_fillin_cb(ax25, ax25_dev); - dev_hold_track(ax25_dev->dev, &ax25->dev_tracker, GFP_ATOMIC); - netdev_hold(ax25_dev->dev, &ax25_dev->dev_tracker, GFP_ATOMIC); ++ netdev_hold(ax25_dev->dev, &ax25->dev_tracker, GFP_ATOMIC); } done:
