Hi all,

After merging the bpf-next tree, today's linux-next build (arm
multi_v7_defconfig) failed like this:

/tmp/next/build/kernel/bpf/core.c:3379:13: error: redefinition of

Caused by commit

  dc11a4dba2464 (bpf: Recover arena kernel faults with scratch page)

Tejun,

thoughts on the best way to fix it ?
Pls send it to bpf-next. I think it's fine for it to be in one tree only.
