Hi all, Today's linux-next merge of the pidfd tree got a conflict in: fs/overlayfs/inode.c between commit: 9c09be9e71c4 ("ovl: perform vfs_getxattr() with mounter creds") from the overlayfs tree and commit: c7c7a1a18af4 ("xattr: handle idmapped mounts") from the pidfd 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 fs/overlayfs/inode.c index cf41bcb664bc,e78d45dfeaee..000000000000 --- a/fs/overlayfs/inode.c +++ b/fs/overlayfs/inode.c @@@ -352,9 -354,7 +354,9 @@@ int ovl_xattr_set(struct dentry *dentry goto out; if (!value && !upperdentry) { + old_cred = ovl_override_creds(dentry->d_sb); - err = vfs_getxattr(realdentry, name, NULL, 0); + err = vfs_getxattr(&init_user_ns, realdentry, name, NULL, 0); + revert_creds(old_cred); if (err < 0) goto out_drop_write; }
