linux-next: manual merge of the libata tree with the origin tree

linux-next: manual merge of the libata tree with the origin tree

Hi all,

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

  drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c

between commit:

  aac9b27f7c1f2 ("ata: libata: cancel pending work after clearing deferred_qc")

from the origin tree and commit:

  9a5eb2adb1ec9 ("ata: libata-scsi: simplify ata_scsi_requeue_deferred_qc()")

from the libata 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.

Hello Mark,

Your conflict resolution looks correct.

I decided to merge for-7.0-fixes branch into for-7.1 / for-next,
for simplicity.

This way, no need to bother Linus with a conflict resolution once
the merge window opens.

Thank you for the heads-up!


Kind regards,
Niklas
