Hi all, Today's linux-next merge of the userns tree got a conflict in: arch/x86/kernel/process.c between commit: 3a24a60854d2 ("x86/32: Remove lazy GS macros") from the tip tree and commit: 5bd2e97c868a ("fork: Generalize PF_IO_WORKER handling") from the userns 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 arch/x86/kernel/process.c index 4037aaaf0260,d20eaad52a85..000000000000 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/process.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/process.c @@@ -193,10 -193,14 +195,10 @@@ int copy_thread(struct task_struct *p, if (sp) childregs->sp = sp; - if (unlikely(p->flags & PF_IO_WORKER)) { -#ifdef CONFIG_X86_32 - task_user_gs(p) = get_user_gs(current_pt_regs()); -#endif - + if (unlikely(args->fn)) { /* - * An IO thread is a user space thread, but it doesn't - * return to ret_after_fork(). + * A user space thread, but it doesn't return to + * ret_after_fork(). * * In order to indicate that to tools like gdb, * we reset the stack and instruction pointers.
