Hi all,
Today's linux-next merge of the mm tree got a conflict in:
Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v1/memory.rst
between commit:
da3ad2e14f63 ("docs: cgroup-v1: add internal cross-references")
from the cgroup tree and commits:
6cd7ad27c60f ("mm: memcontrol: deprecate charge moving")
9bf9f4ba8bd5 ("mm-memcontrol-deprecate-charge-moving-fix")
from the mm 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.

It is recommended to set the soft limit always below the hard limit,
otherwise the hard limit will take precedence.

Users can move charges associated with a task along with task migration, that
is, uncharge task's pages from the old cgroup and charge them to the new cgroup.
