Btw., are you losing emails? Because the reply from peterz to
those patches, a month ago, was pretty clear:

You never replied to PeterZ's request, you just ignored this
scheduler maintainer request and you just did it in some random
way that was most convenient to you many weeks after the thread
died down, ignoring everyone else's concerns - a pretty usual
pattern from you I have to say.

Had you followed PeterZ's request this conflict in linux-next
could have been avoided, amongst other things.

Given that the merge window is close I doubt there will be
other, more difficult to resolve conflicts, but this incident
again demonstrates your inability to communicate efficiently and
amicably, forcing me to highlight it in this trivial case
because it's a sadly reoccuring pattern.

Thanks,

Ingo
