Hi all, Today's linux-next merge of the akpm-current tree got a conflict in: mm/vmalloc.c between commits: fddda2b7b521 ("proc: introduce proc_create_seq{,_data}") 44414d82cfe0 ("proc: introduce proc_create_seq_private") from the vfs tree and patch: "mm: use octal not symbolic permissions" 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 --cc mm/vmalloc.c index 89efac3a020e,abf54a3e71e6..000000000000 --- a/mm/vmalloc.c +++ b/mm/vmalloc.c @@@ -2738,14 -2738,25 +2738,14 @@@ static const struct seq_operations vmal .show = s_show, }; -static int vmalloc_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) +static int __init proc_vmalloc_init(void) { if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NUMA)) - proc_create_seq_private("vmallocinfo", S_IRUSR, NULL, - return seq_open_private(file, &vmalloc_op, - nr_node_ids * sizeof(unsigned int)); ++ proc_create_seq_private("vmallocinfo", 0400, NULL, + &vmalloc_op, + nr_node_ids * sizeof(unsigned int), NULL); else - proc_create_seq("vmallocinfo", S_IRUSR, NULL, &vmalloc_op); - return seq_open(file, &vmalloc_op); -} - -static const struct file_operations proc_vmalloc_operations = { - .open = vmalloc_open, - .read = seq_read, - .llseek = seq_lseek, - .release = seq_release_private, -}; - -static int __init proc_vmalloc_init(void) -{ - proc_create("vmallocinfo", 0400, NULL, &proc_vmalloc_operations); ++ proc_create_seq("vmallocinfo", 0400, NULL, &vmalloc_op); return 0; } module_init(proc_vmalloc_init);
