Hi Linus and Stephen,

I have been seeing more instances of conflicts between kselftest tree
and mm, net, and x86. Not surprising. mm, net, amd x86 are the most
active areas for selftests and when new tests get added, they usually
depend on some feature. As as result, the test has to go through the
core tree. It has been resulting in conflicts with the regular
activity in kselftest tree.

Stephen has been seeing the conflicts when the trees get into
linux-next. Maybe something that could be addressed as a general topic
or if this is somewhat unique situation (it might be), I can work out
a plan offline with the maintainers involved. I don't think this topic
would require my presence at the summit. It could be easily discussed
on the mailing list.

thanks,
-- Shuah
