Hi all, Today's linux-next merge of the vfs tree got a conflict in: fs/tracefs/inode.c between commits: 7e8358edf503 ("eventfs: Fix file and directory uid and gid ownership") ad579864637a ("tracefs: Check for dentry->d_inode exists in set_gid()") from Linus' tree and commit: da549bdd15c2 ("dentry: switch the lists of children to hlist") from the vfs 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/tracefs/inode.c index bc86ffdb103b,61ca5fcf10f9..000000000000 --- a/fs/tracefs/inode.c +++ b/fs/tracefs/inode.c @@@ -207,28 -206,14 +206,25 @@@ static void set_gid(struct dentry *pare change_gid(this_parent, gid); repeat: - next = this_parent->d_subdirs.next; + dentry = d_first_child(this_parent); resume: - while (next != &this_parent->d_subdirs) { + hlist_for_each_entry_from(dentry, d_sib) { + struct tracefs_inode *ti; - struct list_head *tmp = next; - struct dentry *dentry = list_entry(tmp, struct dentry, d_child); - next = tmp->next; + + /* Note, getdents() can add a cursor dentry with no inode */ + if (!dentry->d_inode) + continue; + spin_lock_nested(&dentry->d_lock, DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED); change_gid(dentry, gid); + /* If this is the events directory, update that too */ + ti = get_tracefs(dentry->d_inode); + if (ti && (ti->flags & TRACEFS_EVENT_INODE)) + eventfs_update_gid(dentry, gid); + - if (!list_empty(&dentry->d_subdirs)) { + if (!hlist_empty(&dentry->d_children)) { spin_unlock(&this_parent->d_lock); spin_release(&dentry->d_lock.dep_map, _RET_IP_); this_parent = dentry;
