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.

0day reported a possible circular locking dependency:
Chain exists of:
&irq_desc_lock_class --> console_owner --> &port_lock_key
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&port_lock_key);
lock(console_owner);
lock(&port_lock_key);
lock(&irq_desc_lock_class);
The reason for this is a printk() in the i8259 interrupt chip driver
which is invoked with the irq descriptor lock held, which reverses the
lock operations vs. printk() from arbitrary contexts.
Switch the printk() to printk_deferred() to avoid that.

'Commit 8566ac8b8e7c ("KVM: SVM: Implement pause loop exit logic in SVM")'
drops disable pause loop exit/pause filtering capability completely, I
guess it is a merge fault by Radim since disable vmexits capabilities and
pause loop exit for SVM patchsets are merged at the same time. This patch
reintroduces the disable pause loop exit/pause filtering capability support.

This function returns the first child object, but the returned pointer
is not compatible with (ConfigItem *).
Commit cc1c08edccaf ("kconfig: qconf: don't show goback button on
splitMode") uncovered this issue because using the pointer from this
function would make qconf crash. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/7/18/411)
This function does not work. Remove.

When vxlan interface is deleted, all fdbs are deleted by vxlan_flush().
vxlan_flush() flushes fdbs but it doesn't delete fdb, which contains
all-zeros-mac because it is deleted by vxlan_uninit().
But vxlan_uninit() deletes only the fdb, which contains both all-zeros-mac
and default vni.
So, the fdb, which contains both all-zeros-mac and non-default vni
will not be deleted.
Test commands:
ip link add vxlan0 type vxlan dstport 4789 external
ip link set vxlan0 up
bridge fdb add to 00:00:00:00:00:00 dst 172.0.0.1 dev vxlan0 via lo \
