Hi all,

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

drivers/virtio/virtio_mem.c

between commit:

c22e503ced5b ("fix missing vmalloc.h includes")

from the mm-unstable branch of the mm tree and commit:

4ba509048975 ("virtio-mem: support suspend+resume")

from the vhost 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.


Easy header conflict. @MST, @Andrew, do we simply want to take that
virtio-mem patch via the MM tree to get rid of the conflict completely?

ok by me:

Andrew if you pick this let me know pls and I will drop it.

@Andrew, the relevant patch is

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/20240318120645.105664-1-david@xxxxxxxxxx/

I could resend, putting you on CC. Whatever you prefer.
