Hi all, Today's linux-next merge of the akpm-current tree got a conflict in: tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh between commit: eee470e0739a ("selftests/sysctl: Fix to load test_sysctl module") from the kselftest tree and patch: "tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh: support CONFIG_TEST_SYSCTL=y" from the akpm-current 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 tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh index c3459f9f2429,ce1eeea6f769..000000000000 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh @@@ -112,10 -122,9 +112,10 @@@ test_reqs( function load_req_mod() { - if [ ! -d $DIR ]; then + if [ ! -d $DIR -a ! -d $SYSCTL ]; then if ! modprobe -q -n $TEST_DRIVER; then - echo "$0: module $TEST_DRIVER not found [SKIP]" + echo "$0: module $TEST_DRIVER not found and not built-in [SKIP]" + echo "You must set CONFIG_TEST_SYSCTL=m in your kernel" >&2 exit $ksft_skip fi modprobe $TEST_DRIVER
