For some reason, I thought this was going up some other tree, but I do not see it in -next. So unless I hear otherwise, I will pull it into the v5.8 kcsan branch. > * I'm unable to apply these two patches from Marco that are needed for > my READ_ONCE() work: > > https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/ > > I think these depend on stuff that has been queued by Paul, and appears > in linux-next, but to be honest with you I'm quite confused about what > is queued for 5.8 and what isn't. This one is queued, but I currently have it in the v5.9 pile (but tentatively for v5.8). Unless Marco tells me otherwise, I will move it to the v5.8 branch, which will be part of my pull request next week. > What's the best base for me to use? The -next tree has the latter, but not yet the former. Hopefully we can get this straightened out, and please accept my apologies for the hassle!
