Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

Calling ext4_fc_mark_ineligible() with a NULL handle is racy and may result
in a fast-commit being done before the filesystem is effectively marked as
ineligible. This patch moves the call to this function so that an handle
can be used. If a transaction fails to start, then there's not point in
trying to mark the filesystem as ineligible, and an error will eventually be
returned to user-space.

Calling ext4_fc_mark_ineligible() with a NULL handle is racy and may result
in a fast-commit being done before the filesystem is effectively marked as
ineligible. This patch fixes the calls to this function in
__track_dentry_update() by adding an extra parameter to the callback used in
ext4_fc_track_template().

The cpu_emergency_register_virt_callback() function is used
unconditionally by the x86 kvm code, but it is declared (and defined)
conditionally:
#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM_INTEL) || IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM_AMD)
void cpu_emergency_register_virt_callback(cpu_emergency_virt_cb *callback);
...
leading to a build error when neither KVM_INTEL nor KVM_AMD support is
enabled:
arch/x86/kvm/x86.c: In function ‘kvm_arch_enable_virtualization’:
arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:12517:9: error: implicit declaration of function ‘cpu_emergency_register_virt_callback’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
12517 | cpu_emergency_register_virt_callback(kvm_x86_ops.emergency_disable_virtualization_cpu);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arch/x86/kvm/x86.c: In function ‘kvm_arch_disable_virtualization’:
arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:12522:9: error: implicit declaration of function ‘cpu_emergency_unregister_virt_callback’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
12522 | cpu_emergency_unregister_virt_callback(kvm_x86_ops.emergency_disable_virtualization_cpu);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fix the build by defining empty helper functions the same way the old
cpu_emergency_disable_virtualization() function was dealt with for the
same situation.
Maybe we could instead have made the call sites conditional, since the
callers (kvm_arch_{en,dis}able_virtualization()) have an empty weak
fallback. I'll leave that to the kvm people to argue about, this at
least gets the build going for that particular config.

Selecting CONFIG_OMAP2PLUS_MBOX while compile testing
causes a build failure:
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for OMAP2PLUS_MBOX
Depends on [n]: MAILBOX [=y] && (ARCH_OMAP2PLUS || ARCH_K3)
Selected by [m]:
- TI_K3_M4_REMOTEPROC [=m] && REMOTEPROC [=y] && (ARCH_K3 || COMPILE_TEST [=y])
Using 'select' to force-enable another subsystem is generally
a mistake and causes problems such as this one, so change the
three drivers that link against this driver to use 'depends on'
instead, and ensure the driver itself can be compile tested
regardless of the platform.
When compile-testing without CONFIG_TI_SCI_PROTOCOL=m, there
is a chance for a link failure, so add a careful dependency
on that.

scatterlist allocations can be chained, and thus all iterations need to
use the chain-aware iterators. Switch the newly added tracing to use the
proper iterators so that they work with chained scatterlists.

It is not valid to call pm_runtime_set_suspended() for devices
with runtime PM enabled because it returns -EAGAIN if it is enabled
already and working. So, call pm_runtime_disable() before to fix it.
