Subject: RE: [PATCH v4 0/2] pstore,efi_pstore: Avoid deadlock in
 non-blocking paths

Anton,

V3 patch caused a build failure in Linux-next tree.
So, I updated to v4 patch.
Tony already applied the latest one.

You don't need to do anything.
And  I'm sorry for the confusion.

Seiji

Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the ia64 tree

Hi all,

After merging the ia64 tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64_allmodconfig) failed like this:

ERROR: "pstore_cannot_block_path" [drivers/firmware/efivars.ko] undefined!

Caused by commit 1a1df768ea4e ("efi_pstore: Avoid deadlock in non-blocking paths").

I have used the ia64 tree from next-20130110 for today.
