ipmi:ssif: Clean up kthread on errors

2026-04-17T11:47:40+00:00

If an error occurs after the ssif kthread is created, but before the
main IPMI code starts the ssif interface, the ssif kthread will not
be stopped.

So make sure the kthread is stopped on an error condition if it is
running.

ipmi: ssif_bmc: Fix KUnit test link failure when KUNIT=m

2026-04-07T12:33:23+00:00

Building with CONFIG_KUNIT=m and CONFIG_SSIF_IPMI_BMC_KUNIT_TEST=y
results in link errors such as:

  undefined reference to `kunit_binary_assert_format'
  undefined reference to `__kunit_do_failed_assertion'

This happens because the test code is built-in while the KUnit core
is built as a module, so the required KUnit symbols are not available
at link time.

Fix this by requiring KUNIT to be built-in when enabling
SSIF_IPMI_BMC_KUNIT_TEST.

hpet: replace deprecated mmap hook with mmap_prepare

2026-04-05T20:53:43+00:00

The f_op->mmap interface is deprecated, so update driver to use its
successor, mmap_prepare.

The driver previously used vm_iomap_memory(), so this change replaces it
with its mmap_prepare equivalent, mmap_action_simple_ioremap().

mm: reintroduce vma_desc_test() as a singular flag test

2026-04-05T20:53:19+00:00

Similar to vma_flags_test(), we have previously renamed vma_desc_test() to
vma_desc_test_any().  Now that is in place, we can reintroduce
vma_desc_test() to explicitly check for a single VMA flag.

As with vma_flags_test(), this is useful as often flag tests are against a
single flag, and vma_desc_test_any(flags, VMA_READ_BIT) reads oddly and
potentially causes confusion.

As with vma_flags_test() a combination of sparse and vma_flags_t being a
struct means that users cannot misuse this function without it getting
flagged.

Also update the VMA tests to reflect this change.

mm: rename VMA flag helpers to be more readable

2026-04-05T20:53:18+00:00

Patch series "mm: vma flag tweaks".

The ongoing work around introducing non-system word VMA flags has
introduced a number of helper functions and macros to make life easier
when working with these flags and to make conversions from the legacy use
of VM_xxx flags more straightforward.

This series improves these to reduce confusion as to what they do and to
improve consistency and readability.

Firstly the series renames vma_flags_test() to vma_flags_test_any() to
make it abundantly clear that this function tests whether any of the flags
are set (as opposed to vma_flags_test_all()).

It then renames vma_desc_test_flags() to vma_desc_test_any() for the same
reason.  Note that we drop the 'flags' suffix here, as
vma_desc_test_any_flags() would be cumbersome and 'test' implies a flag
test.

Similarly, we rename vma_test_all_flags() to vma_test_all() for
consistency.

Next, we have a couple of instances (erofs, zonefs) where we are now
testing for vma_desc_test_any(desc, VMA_SHARED_BIT) &&
vma_desc_test_any(desc, VMA_MAYWRITE_BIT).

This is silly, so this series introduces vma_desc_test_all() so these
callers can instead invoke vma_desc_test_all(desc, VMA_SHARED_BIT,
VMA_MAYWRITE_BIT).

We then observe that quite a few instances of vma_flags_test_any() and
vma_desc_test_any() are in fact only testing against a single flag.

Using the _any() variant here is just confusing - 'any' of single item
reads strangely and is liable to cause confusion.

So in these instances the series reintroduces vma_flags_test() and
vma_desc_test() as helpers which test against a single flag.

The fact that vma_flags_t is a struct and that vma_flag_t utilises sparse
to avoid confusion with vm_flags_t makes it impossible for a user to
misuse these helpers without it getting flagged somewhere.

The series also updates __mk_vma_flags() and functions invoked by it to
explicitly mark them always inline to match expectation and to be
consistent with other VMA flag helpers.

It also renames vma_flag_set() to vma_flags_set_flag() (a function only
used by __mk_vma_flags()) to be consistent with other VMA flag helpers.

Finally it updates the VMA tests for each of these changes, and introduces
explicit tests for vma_flags_test() and vma_desc_test() to assert that
they behave as expected.


This patch (of 6):

On reflection, it's confusing to have vma_flags_test() and
vma_desc_test_flags() test whether any comma-separated VMA flag bit is
set, while also having vma_flags_test_all() and vma_test_all_flags()
separately test whether all flags are set.

Firstly, rename vma_flags_test() to vma_flags_test_any() to eliminate this
confusion.

Secondly, since the VMA descriptor flag functions are becoming rather
cumbersome, prefer vma_desc_test*() to vma_desc_test_flags*(), and also
rename vma_desc_test_flags() to vma_desc_test_any().

Finally, rename vma_test_all_flags() to vma_test_all() to keep the
VMA-specific helper consistent with the VMA descriptor naming convention
and to help avoid confusion vs.  vma_flags_test_all().

While we're here, also update whitespace to be consistent in helper
functions.

2026-04-03T12:50:04+00:00

Long-running tests indicate that this logging can occasionally disrupt
timing and lead to request/response corruption.

Irq handler need to be executed as fast as possible,
most I2C slave IRQ implementations are byte-level, logging here
can significantly affect transfer behavior and timing. It is recommended
to use dev_dbg() for these messages.
