  Hi all,

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

  Documentation/filesystems/porting.rst

between commit:

  01bc8e9ae23a ("porting: document block device freeze and thaw changes")

from the vfs-brauner tree and commits:

  22e111ed6c83 ("rename(): fix the locking of subdirectories")
  a8b0026847b8 ("rename(): avoid a deadlock in the case of parents having no common ancestor")
  da549bdd15c2 ("dentry: switch the lists of children to hlist")
  2f42f1eb9093 ("Call retain_dentry() with refcount 0")
  1c18edd1b7a0 ("__dentry_kill(): new locking scheme")

from the vfs 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.
