Hi all,

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

  arch/x86/mm/pat/set_memory.c

between commits:

  7a7c16a2d2b4d ("x86/mm/pat: acquire init_mm read lock on attribute change to avoid UAF")
  25a54f65ccbaf ("x86/mm/pat: allocate split page tables as kernel page tables")

from the mm-hotfixes-unstable tree and commit:

  5fce67641a3ed ("x86/mm/pat: Don't gate cpa_lock on debug_pagealloc_enabled()")

from the tip 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.
