Hi Doug, Today's linux-next merge of the rdma tree got a conflict in:
drivers/staging/rdma/hfi1/mad.c between commits: a4fe1bc16411 ("staging: rdma: hfi1: Remove casts of pointer to same type") acc17d671c62 ("staging: rdma: hfi1: Remove unnecessary parantheses") from Linus' tree and commit: 58721b8f8c71 ("staging/rdma/hfi1: Remove unnecessary parentheses") from the rdma tree. I fixed it up (the result was like the former) 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. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell
