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 reStructuredText 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.

Pull USB fixes from Greg KH:
"Here are some small USB fixes for some reported problems for 6.12-rc3.
Include in here is:
- fix for yurex driver that was caused in -rc1
- build error fix for usbg network filesystem code
- onboard_usb_dev build fix
- dwc3 driver fixes for reported errors
- gadget driver fix
- new USB storage driver quirk
- xhci resume bugfix
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues"

Calling 'ln -s . symlink' or 'ln -s .. symlink' creates symlink pointing to
some object name which ends with U+F029 unicode codepoint. This is because
trailing dot in the object name is replaced by non-ASCII unicode codepoint.
So Linux SMB client currently is not able to create native symlink pointing
to current or parent directory on Windows SMB server which can be read by
either on local Windows server or by any other SMB client which does not
implement compatible-reverse character replacement.
Fix this problem in cifsConvertToUTF16() function which is doing that
character replacement. Function comment already says that it does not need
to handle special cases '.' and '..', but after introduction of native
symlinks in reparse point form, this handling is needed.
Note that this change depends on the previous change
"cifs: Improve creating native symlinks pointing to directory".

Pull driver core fixes from Greg KH:
"Here is a single driver core fix, and a .mailmap update.
The fix is for the rust driver core bindings, turned out that the
from_raw binding wasn't a good idea (don't want to pass a pointer to a
reference counted object without actually incrementing the pointer.)
So this change fixes it up as the from_raw binding came in in -rc1.
The other change is a .mailmap update.

SMB protocol for native symlinks distinguish between symlink to directory
and symlink to file. These two symlink types cannot be exchanged, which
means that symlink of file type pointing to directory cannot be resolved at
all (and vice-versa).
Windows follows this rule for local filesystems (NTFS) and also for SMB.
Linux SMB client currenly creates all native symlinks of file type. Which
means that Windows (and some other SMB clients) cannot resolve symlinks
pointing to directory created by Linux SMB client.
As Linux system does not distinguish between directory and file symlinks,
its API does not provide enough information for Linux SMB client during
creating of native symlinks.
Add some heuristic into the Linux SMB client for choosing the correct
symlink type during symlink creation. Check if the symlink target location
ends with slash, or last path component is dot or dot-dot, and check if the
target location on SMB share exists and is a directory. If at least one
condition is truth then create a new SMB symlink of directory type.
Otherwise create it as file type symlink.
This change improves interoperability with Windows systems. Windows systems
would be able to resolve more SMB symlinks created by Linux SMB client
which points to existing directory.

Commit ac9f97ff8b32 ("powerpc/8xx: Inconditionally use task PGDIR in
DTLB misses") relies on re-reading DAR register to know if an error is
due to a missing copy of a PMD entry in task's PGDIR, allthough DAR
was already read in the exception prolog and copied into thread
struct. This is because is it done very early in the exception and
there are not enough registers available to keep a pointer to thread
struct.
However, dcbz instruction is buggy and doesn't update DAR register on
fault. That is detected and generates a call to FixupDAR workaround
which updates DAR copy in thread struct but doesn't fix DAR register.
Let's fix DAR in addition to the update of DAR copy in thread struct.

The function Device::from_raw() increments a refcount by a call to
bindings::get_device(ptr). This can be confused because usually
from_raw() functions don't increment a refcount.
Hence, rename Device::from_raw() to avoid confuion with other "from_raw"
semantics.
The new name of function should be "get_device" to be consistent with
the function get_device() already exist in .c files.
This function body also changed, because the `into()` will convert the
`&'a Device` into `ARef<Device>` and also call `inc_ref` from the
`AlwaysRefCounted` trait implemented for Device.

This reverts commit 86b20af11e84c26ae3fde4dcc4f490948e3f8035.
This patch leads to passing 0 to simple_read_from_buffer()
as a fifth argument, turning the read method into a nop.
The change is fundamentally flawed, as it breaks the driver.
