Hi all,

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

arch/arc/Kconfig

between commit:

f798f91e7f5f ("ARC: uaccess: use optimized generic __strnlen_user/__strncpy_from_user")

from the arc-current tree and commit:

06dfae39d200 ("arc: mm: convert to GENERIC_IOREMAP")

from the mm-stable tree.

BTW, if the "select GENERIC_IOREMAP" had been put in its (alphabetical)
proper place, this conflict would not have occurred ...

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.


Thx a bunch Stephen.
