Hi all, Today's linux-next merge of the akpm-current tree got a conflict in: mm/page-writeback.c between commit: 1cb039f3dc16 ("bdi: replace BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES with a queue and a sb flag") from the block tree and commit: 7a3714df632a ("mm/page-writeback: support tail pages in wait_for_stable_page") 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 mm/page-writeback.c index 358d6f28c627,dac075e451d3..000000000000 --- a/mm/page-writeback.c +++ b/mm/page-writeback.c @@@ -2849,7 -2849,8 +2849,8 @@@ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(wait_on_page_writebac */ void wait_for_stable_page(struct page *page) { + page = thp_head(page); - if (bdi_cap_stable_pages_required(inode_to_bdi(page->mapping->host))) + if (page->mapping->host->i_sb->s_iflags & SB_I_STABLE_WRITES) wait_on_page_writeback(page); } EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(wait_for_stable_page);
