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 Restructured Text 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.

This reverts commit 78e5a3399421 ("cpumask: fix checking valid cpu range").
syzbot is hitting WARN_ON_ONCE(cpu >= nr_cpumask_bits) warning at
cpu_max_bits_warn() [1], for commit 78e5a3399421 ("cpumask: fix checking
valid cpu range") is broken. Obviously that patch hits WARN_ON_ONCE()
when e.g. reading /proc/cpuinfo because passing "cpu + 1" instead of
"cpu" will trivially hit cpu == nr_cpumask_bits condition.
Although syzbot found this problem in linux-next.git on 2022/09/27 [2],
this problem was not fixed immediately. As a result, that patch was
sent to linux.git before the patch author recognizes this problem, and
syzbot started failing to test changes in linux.git since 2022/10/10
[3].
Andrew Jones proposed a fix for x86 and riscv architectures [4]. But
[2] and [5] indicate that affected locations are not limited to arch
code. More delay before we find and fix affected locations, less tested
kernel (and more difficult to bisect and fix) before release.
We should have inspected and fixed basically all cpumask users before
applying that patch. We should not crash kernels in order to ask
existing cpumask users to update their code, even if limited to
CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS=y case.

Change notification is a commonly supported feature by most servers,
but the current ioctl to request notification when a directory is
changed does not return the information about what changed
(even though it is returned by the server in the SMB3 change
notify response), it simply returns when there is a change.
This ioctl improves upon CIFS_IOC_NOTIFY by returning the notify
information structure which includes the name of the file(s) that
changed and why. See MS-SMB2 2.2.35 for details on the individual
filter flags and the file_notify_information structure returned.
To use this simply pass in the following (with enough space
to fit at least one file_notify_information structure)
struct __attribute__((__packed__)) smb3_notify {
uint32_t completion_filter;
bool watch_tree;
uint32_t data_len;
uint8_t data[];
} __packed;
using CIFS_IOC_NOTIFY_INFO 0xc009cf0b
or equivalently _IOWR(CIFS_IOCTL_MAGIC, 11, struct smb3_notify_info)
The ioctl will block until the server detects a change to that
directory or its subdirectories (if watch_tree is set).

openrisc: Fix pagewalk usage in arch_dma_{clear, set}_uncached
After commit d6a71648dbc0 ("mm/slab: kmalloc: pass requests larger than
order-1 page to page allocator"), SLAB passes large ( > PAGE_SIZE * 2)
requests to buddy like SLUB does.
SLAB has been using kmalloc caches to allocate freelist_idx_t array for
off slab caches. But after the commit, freelist_size can be bigger than
KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE.
Instead of using pointer to kmalloc cache, use kmalloc_node() and only
check if the kmalloc cache is off slab during calculate_slab_order().
If freelist_size > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE, no looping condition happens
as it allocates freelist_idx_t array directly from buddy.

Since commit 8782fb61cc848 ("mm: pagewalk: Fix race between unmap and page
walker"), walk_page_range() on kernel ranges won't work anymore,
walk_page_range_novma() must be used instead.
Note: I don't have an openrisc development setup, so this is completely
untested.
