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 is a collection of three fixes for small annoyances.
Two of these are already pending in other trees, but I really don't want
to release another -rc with these issues pending, so I picked up the
patches for these things directly. We'll end up with duplicate commits
eventually, I prefer that over having these issues pending.
The third one is just me getting rid of another BUG_ON() just because it
was reported and I dislike those things so much.
* merge 'hot-fixes' branch:
ida: don't use BUG_ON() for debugging
drm/aperture: Run fbdev removal before internal helpers
ptrace: fix clearing of JOBCTL_TRACED in ptrace_unfreeze_traced()
Pull dmaengine fixes from Vinod Koul:
"One core fix for DMA_INTERRUPT and rest driver fixes.
Core:
- Revert verification of DMA_INTERRUPT capability as that was
incorrect
Bunch of driver fixes for:
- ti: refcount and put_device leak
- qcom_bam: runtime pm overflow
- idxd: force wq context cleanup and call idxd_enable_system_pasid()
on success
- dw-axi-dmac: RMW on channel suspend register
- imx-sdma: restart cyclic channel when enabled
- at_xdma: error handling for at_xdmac_alloc_desc
- pl330: lockdep warning
- lgm: error handling path in probe
- allwinner: Fix min/max typo in binding"
* tag 'dmaengine-fix-5.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vkoul/dmaengine:
dt-bindings: dma: allwinner,sun50i-a64-dma: Fix min/max typo
dmaengine: lgm: Fix an error handling path in intel_ldma_probe()

dmaengine: idxd: Only call idxd_enable_system_pasid() if succeeded in enabling SVA feature
dmaengine: at_xdma: handle errors of at_xdmac_alloc_desc() correctly
dmaengine: imx-sdma: only restart cyclic channel when enabled
dmaengine: dw-axi-dmac: Fix RMW on channel suspend register
dmaengine: idxd: force wq context cleanup on device disable path
dmaengine: qcom: bam_dma: fix runtime PM underflow
dmaengine: imx-sdma: Allow imx8m for imx7 FW revs
dmaengine: Revert "dmaengine: add verification of DMA_INTERRUPT capability for dmatest"
dmaengine: ti: Add missing put_device in ti_dra7_xbar_route_allocate
dmaengine: ti: Fix refcount leak in ti_dra7_xbar_route_allocate
This is another old BUG_ON() that just shouldn't exist (see also commit
a382f8fee42c: "signal handling: don't use BUG_ON() for debugging").
In fact, as Matthew Wilcox points out, this condition shouldn't really
even result in a warning, since a negative id allocation result is just
a normal allocation failure:
"I wonder if we should even warn here -- sure, the caller is trying to
free something that wasn't allocated, but we don't warn for
kfree(NULL)"
and goes on to point out how that current error check is only causing
people to unnecessarily do their own index range checking before freeing
it.
This was noted by Itay Iellin, because the bluetooth HCI socket cookie
code does *not* do that range checking, and ends up just freeing the
error case too, triggering the BUG_ON().
The HCI code requires CAP_NET_RAW, and seems to just result in an ugly
splat, but there really is no reason to BUG_ON() here, and we have
generally striven for allocation models where it's always ok to just do
free(alloc());
even if the allocation were to fail for some random reason (usually
obviously that "random" reason being some resource limit).

up in 5.19-rc1 in the wlan-ng driver. It has been in linux-next for a

The conditional block for variants with a second clock should have set
minItems, not maxItems, which was already 2. Since clock-names requires
two items, this typo should not have caused any problems.

Always run fbdev removal first to remove simpledrm via sysfb_disable().
This clears the internal state.
The later call to drm_aperture_detach_drivers() then does nothing.
Otherwise, with drm_aperture_detach_drivers() running first, the call to
sysfb_disable() uses inconsistent state.
Example backtrace show below:

ldma_clk_disable() calls both:
clk_disable_unprepare(d->core_clk);
reset_control_assert(d->rst);
So, should devm_reset_control_get_optional() fail, core_clk should not
be prepare_enable'd before it, otherwise it will never be
disable_unprepare'd.
Reorder the code to handle the error handling path as expected.
