linux-next: build failure after merge of the final tree (cgroup tree related)

Hi all,

After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (sparc defconfig)
failed like this:

arch/sparc/kernel/sun4m_irq.c: In function 'sun4m_build_device_irq':
arch/sparc/kernel/sun4m_irq.c:266:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'kzalloc' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
arch/sparc/kernel/sun4m_irq.c:266:15: error: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Werror]

Presumably caused by commit 2bd59d48ebfb ("cgroup: convert to kernfs")
(see the comment in commit 1ff6bbfd13ca ("arm, pm, vmpressure: add
missing slab.h includes")). I wonder how mane more builds are broken by
this :-(

Indeed, reverting that commit fixes the build.

I have added the following build fix for today (please check the
overnight builds for more breakage):

Subject: [PATCH] sun4M: add include of slab.h for kzalloc

This was being included implicitly via cgroup.h's inclusion of xattr.h
(which has now been removed).
