Hi Matias,Today's linux-next merge of the lightnvm tree got a conflict in: drivers/nvme/host/lightnvm.c between commit: 409ae5a76e05 ("lightnvm: invalid offset calculation for lba_shift") from Linus' tree and commit: 2db3cb58a3dd ("nvme: lightnvm: attach lightnvm sysfs to nvme block device") from the lightnvm tree. I fixed it up (I just used the latter version) 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.
Matias, you should base your branches on mine to avoid situations like this. And additionally, submit them for inclusion if they are targeted at 4.10 (and I'm thinking they are, if they are in linux-next). -- Jens Axboe
