Hi Andrew,

Today's linux-next merge of the akpm tree got a conflict in ipc/util.c
between commit 823a5ed16606 ("ipc_schedule_free() can do vfree() now")
from the vfs tree and commit "ipc: make refcounter atomic" from the akpm
tree.

I fixed it up (I hope - see below) and can carry the fix as necessary (no
action is required).

Cheers,
