Hi all,

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

  kernel/bpf/btf.c

between commit:

  5da7e15fb5a1 ("net: Add rx_skb of kfree_skb to raw_tp_null_args[].")

from the bpf tree and commit:

  c83e2d970bae ("bpf: Add tracepoints with null-able arguments")

from the bpf-next 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.

Thanks for headsup.

Jiri,
what should we do ?
I feel that moving c83e2d970bae into bpf tree would be the best ?

right, bpf tree would have been better fit for that.. should I resend that for bpf tree?

After sleeping on it I guess it's fine as-is.
When bpf tree gets pulled we will merge Linus's tree and resolve that
conflict way before the merge window.
