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.

The iwd daemon uses libell which sets up the skcipher operation with
two separate control messages. As the first control message is sent
without MSG_MORE, it is interpreted as an empty request.
While libell should be fixed to use MSG_MORE where appropriate, this
patch works around the bug in the kernel so that existing binaries
continue to work.
We will print a warning however.
A separate issue is that the new kernel code no longer allows the
control message to be sent twice within the same request. This
restriction is obviously incompatible with what iwd was doing (first
setting an IV and then sending the real control message). This
patch changes the kernel so that this is explicitly allowed.

sa2ul.c uses sha{1,256,512}_zero_message_hash, so select the
Kconfig symbols that provide those, like other crypto drivers do.

The mailbox CSR register has a write latency and requires a delay before
being read. This patch replaces readl_poll_timeout with read_poll_timeout
that allows to sleep before read.
The initial sleep was removed when the mailbox poll loop was replaced with
readl_poll_timeout.

Pull io_uring fixes from Jens Axboe:
"A few differerent things in here.
Seems like syzbot got some more io_uring bits wired up, and we got a
handful of reports and the associated fixes are in here.
General fixes too, and a lot of them marked for stable.
Lastly, a bit of fallout from the async buffered reads, where we now
more easily trigger short reads. Some applications don't really like
that, so the io_read() code now handles short reads internally, and
got a cleanup along the way so that it's now easier to read (and
documented). We're now passing tests that failed before"

Commit 1355c31eeb7e ("asm-generic: pgalloc: provide generic pmd_alloc_one()
and pmd_free_one()") converted parisc to use generic version of
pmd_alloc_one() but it missed the fact that parisc uses order-1 pages for
PMD.
Restore the original version of pmd_alloc_one() for parisc, just use
GFP_PGTABLE_KERNEL that implies __GFP_ZERO instead of GFP_KERNEL and
memset.

One case was missed in the short IO retry handling, and that's hitting
-EAGAIN on a blocking attempt read (eg from io-wq context). This is a
problem on sockets that are marked as non-blocking when created, they
don't carry any REQ_F_NOWAIT information to help us terminate them
instead of perpetually retrying.

There's a bit of confusion on the matching pairs of poll vs double poll,
depending on if the request is a pure poll (IORING_OP_POLL_ADD) or
poll driven retry.
Add io_poll_get_double() that returns the double poll waitqueue, if any,
and io_poll_get_single() that returns the original poll waitqueue. With
that, remove the argument to io_poll_remove_double().
Finally ensure that wait->private is cleared once the double poll handler
has run, so that remove knows it's already been seen.

We've had a few application cases of not handling short reads properly,
and it is understandable as short reads aren't really expected if the
application isn't doing non-blocking IO.
Now that we retain the iov_iter over retries, we can implement internal
retry pretty trivially. This ensures that we don't return a short read,
even for buffered reads on page cache conflicts.
Cleanup the deep nesting and hard to read nature of io_read() as well,
it's much more straight forward now to read and understand. Added a
few comments explaining the logic as well.
