linux-next: manual merge of the block tree with the vfs-idmapping tree

Hi all,

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

fs/pipe.c

between commit:

2b10649c2316 ("pipe: enable handling of IOCB_NOWAIT")

from the vfs-idmapping tree and commit:

3f6ded8dd89d ("pipe: check for IOCB_NOWAIT alongside O_NONBLOCK")

from the block tree.

The former added

const bool nonblock = iocb->ki_flags & IOCB_NOWAIT;

and then did

- if (filp->f_flags & O_NONBLOCK) {
+ if (filp->f_flags & O_NONBLOCK || nonblock) {

while the latter just did

- if (filp->f_flags & O_NONBLOCK) {
+ if (filp->f_flags & O_NONBLOCK || iocb->ki_flags & IOCB_NOWAIT) {

so I just used the former though I suspect that the former may be a
previous version of these changes?).

I fixed it up (see above) 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.
