Hi all,

Today's linux-next merge of the akpm-current tree got a conflict in:

tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh

between commit:

eee470e0739a ("selftests/sysctl: Fix to load test_sysctl module")

from the kselftest tree and patch:

"tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh: support CONFIG_TEST_SYSCTL=y"

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.

Thank you for fixing this confliction, at least this fix looks good to me.
I think this (Vlatimil's patch) should be merged via Shuah's kselftest tree.

This fix seems an independent fix.

Thank you,

Thanks Stephen for the fixup and Masami for verifying this looks good.
Please carry the fix. I will make a note of the fix in my pull request
to Linus as well to keep us all on the same page.

thanks,
