Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.

A patch documenting how to specify which kernels a particular fix should
be backported to (seemingly) inadvertently added a minus sign after the
kernel version. This particular stable-tag format had never been used
prior to this patch, and was neither present when the patch in question
was first submitted (it was added in v2 without any comment).
Drop the minus sign to avoid any confusion.

Update extcon for v4.11-rc3
This patch fixes issues for Intel INT3496 ACPI device as following:
- Propagate error code of gpiod_to_irq().
- Set the ID pin as the input direction if firmware has the bug
- Rename the gpio name for bining according to the documentation.
- Add gpio acpi mapping table and the dependency on X86.
- Use the devm_gpiod_get() instead of gpiod_get_index because of
acpi mapping table.

Recently started seeing a kernel oops when a module tries removing a
memory mapped sysfs bin_attribute. On closer investigation the root
cause seems to be kernfs_release_file() trying to call
kernfs_op.release() callback that's NULL for such sysfs
bin_attributes. The oops occurs when kernfs_release_file() is called from
kernfs_drain_open_files() to cleanup any open handles with active
memory mappings.
The patch fixes this by checking for flag KERNFS_HAS_RELEASE before
calling kernfs_release_file() in function kernfs_drain_open_files().
On ppc64-le arch with cxl module the oops back-trace is of the
form below:
[ 861.381126] Unable to handle kernel paging request for instruction fetch

With the new more strict ACPI gpio code the dsdt's IoRestriction
flags are honored on gpiod_get, but in some dsdt's it is wrong,
so explicitly call gpiod_direction_input on the id gpio if
necessary.
This fixes the following errors when the int3496 code is used
together with the new more strict ACPI gpio code:

tty_ldisc_ref_wait() checks tty->ldisc under tty->ldisc_sem.
But if ldisc==NULL it releases them sem and reloads
tty->ldisc without holding the sem. This is wrong and
can lead to returning non-NULL ldisc without protection.
Don't reload tty->ldisc second time.

Usually every parallel port will have a single pardev registered with
it. But ppdev driver is an exception. This userspace parallel port
driver allows to create multiple parrallel port devices for a single
parallel port. And as a result we were having a big warning like:
"sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/parport0/ppdev0.0'".
And with that many parallel port printers stopped working.
We have been using the minor number as the id field while registering
a parralel port device with a parralel port. But when there are
multiple parrallel port device for one single parallel port, they all
tried to register with the same name like 'pardev0.0' and everything
started failing.
Use an incremented index as the id instead of the minor number.
