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.

Pull another io_uring fix from Jens Axboe:
"Just a single fix for a regression that happened in this release due
to a poll change. Normally I would've just deferred it to next week,
but since the original fix got picked up by stable, I think it's
better to just send this one off separately.
The issue is around the poll race fix, and how it mistakenly also got
applied to multishot polling. Those don't need the race fix, and we
should not be doing any reissues for that case. Exhaustive test cases
were written and committed to the liburing regression suite for the
reported issue, and additions for similar issues"

Pull char/misc driver fixes from Greg KH:
"Here are some small char/misc and other subsystem driver fixes for
6.2-rc5 to resolve a few reported issues. They include:
- long time pending fastrpc fixes (should have gone into 6.1, my
fault)
- mei driver/bus fixes and new device ids
- interconnect driver fixes for reported problems
- vmci bugfix
- w1 driver bugfixes for reported problems
Almost all of these have been in linux-next with no reported problems,
the rest have all passed 0-day bot testing in my tree and on the
mailing lists where they have sat too long due to me taking a long
time to catch up on my pending patch queue"

A previous commit fixed a poll race that can occur, but it's only
applicable for multishot requests. For a multishot request, we can safely
ignore a spurious wakeup, as we never leave the waitqueue to begin with.
A blunt reissue of a multishot armed request can cause us to leak a
buffer, if they are ring provided. While this seems like a bug in itself,
it's not really defined behavior to reissue a multishot request directly.
It's less efficient to do so as well, and not required to rearm anything
like it is for singleshot poll requests.

which uses wait_event() resulting in invalid sleep in an atomic
context (and therefore potentially in a deadlock).

The srcvm parameter of qcom_scm_assign_mem is a pointer to a bitfield of
VMIDs. The bitfield is updated with which VMIDs have permissions
after the qcom_scm_assign_mem call. This makes it simpler for clients to
make qcom_scm_assign_mem calls later, they always pass in same srcvm
bitfield and do not need to closely track whether memory was originally
shared.
When restoring permissions to HLOS, fastrpc is incorrectly using the
first VMID directly -- neither the BIT nor the other possible VMIDs the
memory was already assigned to. We already have a field intended for
this purpose: "perms" in the struct fastrpc_channel_ctx, but it was
never used. Start using the perms field.

There is a couple of problems with queueing a tw in io_msg_ring_data()
for remote execution. First, once we queue it the target ring can
go away and so setting IORING_SQ_TASKRUN there is not safe. Secondly,
the userspace might not expect IORING_SQ_TASKRUN.
Extract a helper and uniformly use TWA_SIGNAL without TWA_SIGNAL_NO_IPI
tricks for now, just as it was done in the original patch.
