Hi Andrew, Today's linux-next merge of the akpm tree got a conflict in fs/proc/inode.c between commit ("vfs,proc: guarantee unique inodes in /proc") from Linus' tree and commit "procfs-improve-scaling-in-proc-v5" from the akpm tree. I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary (no action is required). -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au diff --cc fs/proc/inode.c index 38f0775,f53660a..0000000 --- a/fs/proc/inode.c +++ b/fs/proc/inode.c @@@ -463,10 -464,10 +464,11 @@@ static const struct file_operations pro struct inode *proc_get_inode(struct super_block *sb, struct proc_dir_entry *de) { - struct inode *inode = iget_locked(sb, de->low_ino); + struct inode *inode = new_inode_pseudo(sb); + const struct file_operations *fops; - if (inode && (inode->i_state & I_NEW)) { + if (inode) { + inode->i_ino = de->low_ino; inode->i_mtime = inode->i_atime = inode->i_ctime = CURRENT_TIME; PROC_I(inode)->pde = de; @@@ -491,9 -494,11 +495,10 @@@ #endif inode->i_fop = &proc_reg_file_ops; } else { - inode->i_fop = de->proc_fops; + inode->i_fop = fops; } } + rcu_read_unlock(); - unlock_new_inode(inode); } else pde_put(de); return inode;
