docs: submitting-patches: clarify that signers may use their discretion on tags
Tags are really appreciated by maintainers in general, since it means
someone is willing to put their name on a commit, be it as a reviewer,
tester, etc.
However, signers (i.e. submitters carrying tags from previous versions
and maintainers applying patches) may need to take or drop tags, on a
case-by-case basis, for different reasons.
Yet this is not explicitly spelled out in the documentation, thus there
may be instances [1] where contributors may feel unwelcome.
Thus, to clarify, state this clearly.

docs: submitting-patches: clarify Acked-by and introduce "# Suffix"
Acked-by is typically used by maintainers. However, sometimes it is
useful to be able to accept the tag from other stakeholders that may not
have done a deep technical review or may not be kernel developers. For
instance:
- People with domain knowledge, such as the original author of the
code being modified.
- Userspace-side reviewers for a kernel uAPI patch, like in DRM --
see Documentation/gpu/drm-uapi.rst:
> The userspace-side reviewer should also provide an Acked-by on the
> kernel uAPI patch indicating that they believe the proposed uAPI
> is sound and sufficiently documented and validated for userspace's
> consumption.
- Key users of a feature, such as in [1].
Thus clarify that Acked-by may be used by other stakeholders (but most
commonly by maintainers).
Since, in these cases, it may be confusing why an Acked-by is/was
provided, allow and suggest to provide a "# Suffix" explaining it.
The "# Suffix" for Acked-by is already being used to clarify what part
of the patch a maintainer is acknowledging, thus also mention "# Suffix"
in the relevant paragraph.

Align git commit ID abbreviation guidelines and checks
The guidelines for git commit ID abbreviation are inconsistent: some
places state to use 12 characters exactly, while other places recommend
12 characters or more. The same issue is present in the checkpatch.pl
script.
E.g. Documentation/dev-tools/checkpatch.rst says:
**GIT_COMMIT_ID**
The proper way to reference a commit id is:
commit <12+ chars of sha1> ("<title line>")
However, scripts/checkpatch.pl has two different checks: one warning
check accepting 12 characters exactly:
# Check Fixes: styles is correct
Please use correct Fixes: style 'Fixes: <12 chars of sha1> (\"<title line>\")'
and a second error check accepting 12-40 characters:
# Check for git id commit length and improperly formed commit descriptions
# A correctly formed commit description is:
# commit <SHA-1 hash length 12+ chars> ("Complete commit subject")
Please use git commit description style 'commit <12+ chars of sha1>
Hence patches containing commit IDs with more than 12 characters are
flagged by checkpatch, and sometimes rejected by maintainers or
reviewers. This is becoming more important with the growth of the
repository, as git may decide to use more characters in case of local
conflicts.
Fix this by settling on at least 12 characters, in both the
documentation and in the checkpatch.pl script.

The problem is the regex for the identifier, which is a greedy /.*/ that
matches everything up to the last - or : (i.e. $decl_end). Fix it by
tightening up this regex and not matching those characters as part of the
identifier.

scripts/kernel-doc: Get -export option working again
Since commit
cdd30ebb1b9f ("module: Convert symbol namespace to string
literal"), exported symbols marked by EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS(_GPL) are
ignored by "kernel-doc -export" in fresh build of "make htmldocs".
This is because regex in the perl script for those markers fails to
match the new signatures:
- EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS(symbol, "ns");
- EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(symbol, "ns");
Update the regex so that it matches quoted string.
Note: Escape sequence of \w is good for C identifiers, but can be
too strict for quoted strings. Instead, use \S, which matches any
non-whitespace character, for compatibility with possible extension
of namespace convention in the future [1].

Merge branch 'fixes-for-lpm-trie'
Hou Tao says:
====================
This patch set fixes several issues for LPM trie. These issues were
found during adding new test cases or were reported by syzbot.
The patch set is structured as follows:
Patch #1~#2 are clean-ups for lpm_trie_update_elem().
Patch #3 handles BPF_EXIST and BPF_NOEXIST correctly for LPM trie.
Patch #4 fixes the accounting of n_entries when doing in-place update.
Patch #5 fixes the exact match condition in trie_get_next_key() and it
may skip keys when the passed key is not found in the map.
Patch #6~#7 switch from kmalloc() to bpf memory allocator for LPM trie
to fix several lock order warnings reported by syzbot. It also enables
raw_spinlock_t for LPM trie again. After these changes, the LPM trie will
be closer to being usable in any context (though the reentrance check of
trie->lock is still missing, but it is on my todo list).
Patch #8: move test_lpm_map to map_tests to make it run regularly.
Patch #9: add test cases for the issues fixed by patch #3~#5.
Please see individual patches for more details. Comments are always
welcome.
Change Log:
v3:
* patch #2: remove the unnecessary NULL-init for im_node
* patch #6: alloc the leaf node before disabling IRQ to low
the possibility of -ENOMEM when leaf_size is large; Free
these nodes outside the trie lock (Suggested by Alexei)
* collect review and ack tags (Thanks for Toke & Daniel)

* drop "Add bpf_mem_cache_is_mergeable() helper" patch

n_entries in it.
* patch #6: use one bpf mem allocator and update commit message to
clarify that using bpf mem allocator is more appropriate.

for update operation.

selftests/bpf: Add more test cases for LPM trie
Add more test cases for LPM trie in test_maps:
1) test_lpm_trie_update_flags
It constructs various use cases for BPF_EXIST and BPF_NOEXIST and check
whether the return value of update operation is expected.
2) test_lpm_trie_update_full_maps
It tests the update operations on a full LPM trie map. Adding new node
will fail and overwriting the value of existed node will succeed.
3) test_lpm_trie_iterate_strs and test_lpm_trie_iterate_ints
There two test cases test whether the iteration through get_next_key is
sorted and expected. These two test cases delete the minimal key after
each iteration and check whether next iteration returns the second
minimal key. The only difference between these two test cases is the
former one saves strings in the LPM trie and the latter saves integers.
Without the fix of get_next_key, these two cases will fail as shown
below:
test_lpm_trie_iterate_strs(1091):FAIL:iterate #2 got abc exp abS
test_lpm_trie_iterate_ints(1142):FAIL:iterate #1 got 0x2 exp 0x1

bpf: Use raw_spinlock_t for LPM trie
After switching from kmalloc() to the bpf memory allocator, there will be
no blocking operation during the update of LPM trie. Therefore, change
trie->lock from spinlock_t to raw_spinlock_t to make LPM trie usable in
atomic context, even on RT kernels.
The max value of prefixlen is 2048. Therefore, update or deletion
operations will find the target after at most 2048 comparisons.

9045c0a3d5a7f1b119f7
A bpf program attached to trace_contention_end() triggers after
acquiring &n->list_lock. The program invokes trie_delete_elem(), which
then acquires trie->lock. However, it is possible that another
process is invoking trie_update_elem(). trie_update_elem() will acquire
trie->lock first, then invoke kmalloc_node(). kmalloc_node() may invoke
get_partial_node() and try to acquire &n->list_lock (not necessarily the
same lock object). Therefore, lockdep warns about the circular locking
dependency.
Invoking kmalloc() before acquiring trie->lock could fix the warning.
However, since BPF programs call be invoked from any context (e.g.,
through kprobe/tracepoint/fentry), there may still be lock ordering
problems for internal locks in kmalloc() or trie->lock itself.
To eliminate these potential lock ordering problems with kmalloc()'s
internal locks, replacing kmalloc()/kfree()/kfree_rcu() with equivalent
BPF memory allocator APIs that can be invoked in any context. The lock
ordering problems with trie->lock (e.g., reentrance) will be handled
separately.
Three aspects of this change require explanation:
1. Intermediate and leaf nodes are allocated from the same allocator.
Since the value size of LPM trie is usually small, using a single
alocator reduces the memory overhead of the BPF memory allocator.
2. Leaf nodes are allocated before disabling IRQs. This handles cases
where leaf_size is large (e.g., > 4KB - 8) and updates require
intermediate node allocation. If leaf nodes were allocated in
IRQ-disabled region, the free objects in BPF memory allocator would not
be refilled timely and the intermediate node allocation may fail.
3. Paired migrate_{disable|enable}() calls for node alloc and free. The
BPF memory allocator uses per-CPU struct internally, these paired calls
are necessary to guarantee correctness.

iio: magnetometer: yas530: use signed integer type for clamp limits
In the function yas537_measure() there is a clamp_val() with limits of
-BIT(13) and BIT(13) - 1. The input clamp value h[] is of type s32. The
BIT() is of type unsigned long integer due to its define in
include/vdso/bits.h. The lower limit -BIT(13) is recognized as -8192 but
expressed as an unsigned long integer. The size of an unsigned long
integer differs between 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. Converting this
to type s32 may lead to undesired behavior.
Additionally, in the calculation lines h[0], h[1] and h[2] the unsigned
long integer divisor BIT(13) causes an unsigned division, shifting the
left-hand side of the equation back and forth, possibly ending up in large
positive values instead of negative values on 32-bit architectures.
To solve those two issues, declare a signed integer with a value of
BIT(13).
There is another omission in the clamp line: clamp_val() returns a value
and it's going nowhere here. Self-assign it to h[i] to make use of the
clamp macro.
Finally, replace clamp_val() macro by clamp() because after changing the
limits from type unsigned long integer to signed integer it's fine that
way.

more cores simultaneously. When two or more cores observe that
vma->numab_state is NULL at the same time, vma->numab_state will be
overwritten.
Although current code ensures that only one thread scans the VMAs in a
single 'numa_scan_period', there might be a chance for another thread
to enter in the next 'numa_scan_period' while we have not gotten till
numab_state allocation [1].
Note that the command `/opt/ltp/testcases/bin/hackbench 50 process 1000`
cannot the reproduce the issue. It is verified with 200+ test runs.
[Solution]
Use the cmpxchg atomic operation to ensure that only one thread executes
the vma->numab_state assignment.

mm/damon: fix order of arguments in damos_before_apply tracepoint
Since the order of the scheme_idx and target_idx arguments in TP_ARGS is

mm/filemap: don't call folio_test_locked() without a reference in next_uptodate_folio()
The folio can get freed + buddy-merged + reallocated in the meantime,
resulting in us calling folio_test_locked() possibly on a tail page.
This makes const_folio_flags VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS() when stumbling over the
tail page.
Could this result in other issues? Doesn't look like it. False positives
and false negatives don't really matter, because this folio would get
skipped either way when detecting that they have been reallocated in the
meantime.
Fix it by performing the folio_test_locked() checked after grabbing a
reference. If this ever becomes a real problem, we could add a special
helper that racily checks if the bit is set even on tail pages ... but
let's hope that's not required so we can just handle it cleaner: work on
the folio after we hold a reference.
Do we really need the folio_test_locked() check if we are going to trylock
briefly after? Well, we can at least avoid a xas_reload().
It's a bit unclear which exact change introduced that issue. Likely, ever
since we made PG_locked obey to the PF_NO_TAIL policy it could have been
triggered in some way.
