Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the userns tree with the cel tree

Hi all,

Today's linux-next merge of the userns tree got a conflict in:

fs/nfsd/nfssvc.c

between commit:

cfb05a7336741 ("NFSD: narrow nfsd_mutex protection in nfsd thread")

from the cel tree and commit:

ca3574bd653ab ("exit: Rename module_put_and_exit to module_put_and_kthread_exit")

from the userns tree.

I fixed it up (see below) 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.

This is also causing further build errors including but not limited to:

/tmp/next/build/kernel/fork.c: In function 'copy_process':
/tmp/next/build/kernel/fork.c:2106:4: error: label 'bad_fork_cleanup_threadgroup_lock' used but not defined
2106 | goto bad_fork_cleanup_threadgroup_lock;
| ^~~~

Partly due to vaccine side effects and partly in the interest of time
I'm going to use the userns tree from yesterday.

Caused by commit

40966e316f86 ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for all kthreads")

The label is guarded by CONFIG_NUMA, but the new goto is not.

This is still failing, so I have used the userns tree from next-20211215
for today.

Huh. I thought I fixed that.

I will dig in later today. I just got power back after a bad storm so I
have not see the emails until just now.
