- The 2 patch series "pid: make sub-init creation retryable" from Oleg
Nesterov increases the robustness of our creation of init in a new
namespace. By clearing away some historical cruft which is no longer
needed. Also some documentation fixups are provided.
- The 2 patch series "selftests/fchmodat2: Error handling and general"
from Mark Brown has a fixup and a cleanup for the fchmodat2() syscall
selftest.
- The 3 patch series "lib: polynomial: Move to math/ and clean up" from
Andy Shevchenko does as advertised.
- The 3 patch series "hung_task: Provide runtime reset interface for
hung task detector" from Aaron Tomlin gives administrators the ability
to zero out /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_detect_count.
- The 2 patch series "tools/getdelays: use the static UAPI headers from
tools/include/uapi" from Thomas Weißschuh teaches getdelays to use the
in-kernel UAPI headers rather than the system-provided ones.
- The 5 patch series "watchdog/hardlockup: Improvements to hardlockup"
from Mayank Rungta provides several cleanups and fixups to the
hardlockup detector code and its documentation.
- The 2 patch series "lib/bch: fix undefined behavior from signed
left-shifts" from Josh Law provides a couple of small/theoretical fixes
in the bch code.
- The 2 patch series "ocfs2/dlm: fix two bugs in dlm_match_regions()"
from Junrui Luo does what is claims.
- The 27 patch series "cleanup the RAID5 XOR library" from Christoph
Hellwig is a quite far-reaching cleanup to this code. I can't do better
than to quote Christoph:
The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right
now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography and
not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations sitting in
include/asm-generic and the arch implementations sitting in an asm/
header in theory. The latter doesn't work for many cases, so
architectures often build the code directly into the core kernel, or
create another module for the architecture code.
Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the
architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric Biggers
has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After that it
changes to better calling conventions that allow for smarter
architecture implementations (although none is contained here yet),
and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call overhead.
- The 2 patch series "lib/list_sort: Clean up list_sort() scheduling
workarounds" from Kuan-Wei Chiu cleans up this library code by removing
a hacky thing which was added for UBIFS, which UBIFS doesn't actually
need.
- The 5 patch series "Fix bugs in extract_iter_to_sg()" from Christian
Ehrhardt fixes a few bugs in the scatterlist code, adds in-kernel tests
for the now-fixed bugs and fixes a leak in the test itself.
- The 3 patch series "kdump: Enable LUKS-encrypted dump target support
in ARM64 and PowerPC" from Coiby Xu eenables support of the
LUKS-encrypted device dump target on arm64 and powerpc.
- The 4 patch series "ocfs2: consolidate extent list validation into
block read callbacks" from Joseph Qi addresses ocfs2's validation of
extent list fields - cleanup, simplification, robustness. (Kernel test
robot loves mounting corrupted fs images!)
