Hi all,

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

arch/riscv/include/asm/cmpxchg.h

between commits:

07a0a41cb77d ("riscv/cmpxchg: Deduplicate cmpxchg() asm and macros")
54280ca64626 ("riscv/cmpxchg: Implement cmpxchg for variables of size 1 and 2")

from the risc-v tree and commit:

b5e49f1af563 ("riscv: Emulate one-byte cmpxchg")

from the rcu tree.

I fixed it up (I just used the former as the latter seems to no longer be
needed - I also undid the change to arch/riscv/Kconfig from the latter)
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.

Agreed, it looks to me like I should drop my RISC-V change in favor of
the native support. Please let me know if I am mistaken.

If I do not hear otherwise, I will pull my commit out of -next in favor
of those two on my next rebase.

Sorry I forgot to send the shared tag. We can pre-merge if you want, I'm fine either way just let me know.


Thanx, Paul
