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.

Since commit 3bc3206e1c0f ("serial: fsl_lpuart: Remove the alias node
dependence") the port line number can also be allocated by IDA, but in
case of an error the ID will no be removed again. More importantly, any
ID will be freed in remove(), even if it wasn't allocated but instead
fetched by of_alias_get_id(). If it was not allocated by IDA there will
be a warning:
WARN(1, "ida_free called for id=%d which is not allocated.\n", id);
Move the ID allocation more to the end of the probe() so that we still
can use plain return in the first error cases.

This reverts commit a659652f6169240a5818cb244b280c5a362ef5a4.
This broke the earlycon on LS1021A processors because the order of the
earlycon_setup() functions were changed. Before the commit the normal
lpuart32_early_console_setup() was called. After the commit the
lpuart32_imx_early_console_setup() is called instead.

"Here are a few io_uring fixes that should go into this release. This
contains:
- Removal of (now) unused io_wq_flush() and associated flag (Pavel)
- Fix cancelation lockup with linked timeouts (Pavel)
- Fix for potential use-after-free when freeing percpu ref for fixed
file sets
- io-wq cancelation fixups (Pavel)"

io-wq: remove io_wq_flush and IO_WQ_WORK_INTERNAL
io-wq: fix IO_WQ_WORK_NO_CANCEL cancellation
The dealloc_work_entries() function must update the work_free_list pointer
while freeing its entries, since potentially called again on same list. A
second iteration of the work list caused system crash. This happens, if
work allocation fails during cma_iw_listen() and free_cm_id() tries to
free the list again during cleanup.

If scatter-gather operation is allowed, a large USB request is split
into multiple TRBs. For preparing TRBs for sg list, driver iterates
over the list and creates TRB for each sg and mark the chain bit to
false for the last sg. The current IOMMU driver is clubbing the list
of sgs which shares a page boundary into one and giving it to USB driver.
With this the number of sgs mapped it not equal to the the number of sgs
passed. Because of this USB driver is not marking the chain bit to false
since it couldn't iterate to the last sg. This patch addresses this issue
by marking the chain bit to false if it is the last mapped sg.
At a practical level, this patch resolves USB transfer stalls
seen with adb on dwc3 based db845c, pixel3 and other qcom
hardware after functionfs gadget added scatter-gather support
around v4.20.

We have an interrupt handler for the wake-up GPIO pin, but we're missing
the code to wake-up the system. This can cause timeouts receiving data
for the UART that shares the wake-up GPIO pin with the USB PHY.
All we need to do is just wake the system and kick the autosuspend
timeout to fix the issue.

On Apple devices the _CRS method returns an empty resource template, and
the resource settings are instead provided by the _DSM method. But
commit 33364d63c75d6182fa369cea80315cf1bb0ee38e (serdev: Add ACPI
devices by ResourceSource field) changed the search for serdev devices
to require valid, non-empty resource template, thereby breaking Apple
devices and causing bluetooth devices to not be found.
This expands the check so that if we don't find a valid template, and
we're on an Apple machine, then just check for the device being an
immediate child of the controller and having a "baud" property.

There is a recipe to deadlock the kernel: submit a timeout sqe with a
linked_timeout (e.g. test_single_link_timeout_ception() from liburing),
and SIGKILL the process.
Then, io_kill_timeouts() takes @ctx->completion_lock, but the timeout
isn't flagged with REQ_F_COMP_LOCKED, and will try to double grab it
during io_put_free() to cancel the linked timeout. Probably, the same
can happen with another io_kill_timeout() call site, that is
io_commit_cqring().
