linux-next: manual merge of the akpm tree with the cgroup tree

December 14th, 2011 - 02:00 am ET by Stephen Rothwell | Report spam

Hi Andrew,

Today's linux-next merge of the akpme tree got conflicts in several files
between commits from the cgroup tree and commit "cgroups: add previous
cgroup in can_attach_task/attach_task callbacks" from the akpm tree.

This got a bit to hard to resolve, so I dropped that patch and the
following from the akpm tree.

cgroups: new cancel_attach_task() subsystem callback
cgroups: ability to stop res charge propagation on bounded ancestor
cgroups: add res counter common ancestor searching
res_counter: allow charge failure pointer to be null
cgroups: pull up res counter charge failure interpretation to caller
cgroups: allow subsystems to cancel a fork
cgroups: add a task counter subsystem
cgroups: ERR_PTR needs err.h
cgroup: Fix task counter common ancestor logic
cgroup-fix-task-counter-common-ancestor-logic-checkpatch-fixes

I am wondering if that patch set should be included in the cgroup tree?
Alternatively, you could provide me with a new set of patches based on
today's linux-next.

Cheers,
Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au

Yeah there are many things I need to update to get a clean rebase.


cgroups: new cancel_attach_task() subsystem callback
cgroups: ability to stop res charge propagation on bounded ancestor

res_counter: allow charge failure pointer to be null

That would be probably the easier solution.
Andrew, do you mind if I rebase these patches and target them to Tejun's
tree instead? We can keep them on a standalone branch there based on Tejuns until
we reach an agreement on their upstreamability.
