Hi all,

After merging the block tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

drivers/block/ublk_drv.c: In function 'ublk_char_dev_permission':
drivers/block/ublk_drv.c:2032:32: error: passing argument 1 of 'inode_permission' from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
2032 | err = inode_permission(&init_user_ns,
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
| |
| struct user_namespace *
In file included from drivers/block/ublk_drv.c:15:
include/linux/fs.h:2474:22: note: expected 'struct mnt_idmap *' but argument is of type 'struct user_namespace *'
2474 | int inode_permission(struct mnt_idmap *, struct inode *, int);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Caused by commit

56f5160bc1b8 ("ublk_drv: add mechanism for supporting unprivileged ublk device")

interacting with commit

4609e1f18e19 ("fs: port ->permission() to pass mnt_idmap")

from the vfs-idmapping tree.

I have applied the following merge fix patch.
