linux-next: manual merge of the char-misc tree with the char-misc.current tree

linux-next: manual merge of the char-misc tree with the char-misc.current tree

[Stephen Rothwell]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1506 bytes --]

Hi all,

Today's linux-next merge of the char-misc tree got a conflict in:

  drivers/misc/fastrpc.c

between commit:

  01b76c32e3f3 ("misc: fastrpc: add checked value for dma_set_mask")

from the char-misc.current tree and commit:

  977e6c8d1d18 ("misc: fastrpc: use correct spinlock variant")

from the char-misc 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.

Greg did request Bo YU to rebase this patch on top of char-misc tree.

That would be a real fix for this conflict, until then this fixup should 
work.

 Yes.The patch was v2 after rebasing char-misc tree.

Is there any modifies need me?

linux-next: manual merge of the char-misc tree with the char-misc.current tree

Hi all,

Today's linux-next merge of the char-misc tree got a conflict in:

  drivers/misc/eeprom/at25.c

between commit:

  9a626577398c ("nvmem: eeprom: at25: fix FRAM byte_len")

from the char-misc.current tree and commits:

  5b557298d7d0 ("misc: at25: Make driver OF independent again")
  a692fc39bf90 ("misc: at25: Don't copy garbage to the at25->chip in FRAM case")
  58589a75bba9 ("misc: at25: Check proper value of chip length in FRAM case")
  51902c1212fe ("misc: at25: Use at25->chip instead of local chip everywhere in ->probe()")
(and probably more)

from the char-misc tree.

I fixed it up (I just used the latter version) 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.

The result from char-misc.current should be used as is and I guess it's
what you have done, thanks!

This was my original patch from Nov 8th.

These are newer versions and some cleanups from Andy. I was not aware of 
this work going on. I'm surprised at25 is getting so much attention ;-)

Agreed - Andy's version is cleaner, and includes my fixes. I've run some 
quick tests locally and all seems to be working as expected.

I think something has gone very wrong here. The allocation for "at25" is
now missing in at25_probe():

-       at25 = devm_kzalloc(&spi->dev, sizeof(struct at25_data), GFP_KERNEL);
-       if (!at25)
-               return -ENOMEM;
-

This leads to a fair bit of confusion from static analysis which sees
the "at25" as basically empty. :P

linux-next: manual merge of the char-misc tree with the char-misc.current tree

[Stephen Rothwell]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1336 bytes --]

Hi all,

Today's linux-next merge of the char-misc tree got a conflict in:

  drivers/android/binder.c

between commit:

  45d02f79b539 ("binder: Don't modify VMA bounds in ->mmap handler")

from the char-misc.current tree and commit:

  990be7476485 ("binder: Use common definition of SZ_1K")

from the char-misc 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.

Yeah, sorry about this, I knew it would be a conflict, I'll handle it
when one of these branches gets merged to Linus's tree.

linux-next: manual merge of the char-misc tree with the char-misc.current tree

[Stephen Rothwell]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 843 bytes --]

Hi all,

Today's linux-next merge of the char-misc tree got a conflict in:

  drivers/hv/channel_mgmt.c

between commit:

  37c2578c0c40 ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: Offload the handling of channels to two workqueues")

from the char-misc.current tree and commit:

  4d3c5c69191f ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: Remove the useless API vmbus_get_outgoing_channel()")

from the char-misc tree.

I fixed it up (I used the former version where they conflicted) 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.

Yeah, this is a mess, I'll wait for the hyper-v developers to send me a
fixup patch for handling this merge issue, as they know it is happening
:(

Hi Stephen, 
Thank you! I can confirm your rebase for next-20181204 is correct:

Since Stephen has fixed the merge issue correctly, I guess I may not need to send a fixup
patch for linux-next.git. If I didn't get it right, please let me know which tree/branch I
should work on to send a fixup patch.

It looks the conflict here happened because the two related patches, which modify
the same functions, went into different branches of char-misc.git. I didn't realize this
could happen... Sorry. The lesson I learnt is that I should not submit an urgent fix
with an unimportant clean-up patch at the same time, when they can cause a conflict.

Thanks,

I have done the merge in my char-misc-next branch, can you verify that I
got it correct?

I checked the branch and everything is correct. Thanks a lot!
