linux-next: manual merge of the vfs-brauner tree with the origin tree
From: Mark Brown
Date: Wed Jul 08 2026 - 07:29:54 EST
Hi all,
Today's linux-next merge of the vfs-brauner tree got a conflict in:
fs/bpf_fs_kfuncs.c
between commit:
3f8c65b06fafc ("bpf: have bpf_real_data_inode() take a struct file")
from the origin tree and commit:
b4e124d168552 ("fs: Add bpf_sock_read_xattr() kfunc to read socket xattrs")
from the vfs-brauner 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.
