For virtio-net we were getting CPU stall warnings, and fixed it by
calling the scheduler: see f8bb51043945 ("virtio_net: suppress cpu stall
when free_unused_bufs").

This driver is similar so theoretically the same logic applies.

Pull splice updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This kills off ITER_PIPE to avoid a race between truncate,
  iov_iter_revert() on the pipe and an as-yet incomplete DMA to a bio
  with unpinned/unref'ed pages from an O_DIRECT splice read. This causes
  memory corruption.

  Instead, we either use (a) filemap_splice_read(), which invokes the
  buffered file reading code and splices from the pagecache into the
  pipe; (b) copy_splice_read(), which bulk-allocates a buffer, reads
  into it and then pushes the filled pages into the pipe; or (c) handle
  it in filesystem-specific code.

  Summary:

   - Rename direct_splice_read() to copy_splice_read()

   - Simplify the calculations for the number of pages to be reclaimed
     in copy_splice_read()

   - Turn do_splice_to() into a helper, vfs_splice_read(), so that it
     can be used by overlayfs and coda to perform the checks on the
     lower fs

   - Make vfs_splice_read() jump to copy_splice_read() to handle
     direct-I/O and DAX

   - Provide shmem with its own splice_read to handle non-existent pages
     in the pagecache. We don't want a -&gt;read_folio() as we don't want
     to populate holes, but filemap_get_pages() requires it

   - Provide overlayfs with its own splice_read to call down to a lower
     layer as overlayfs doesn't provide -&gt;read_folio()

   - Provide coda with its own splice_read to call down to a lower layer
     as coda doesn't provide -&gt;read_folio()

   - Direct -&gt;splice_read to copy_splice_read() in tty, procfs, kernfs
     and random files as they just copy to the output buffer and don't
     splice pages

   - Provide wrappers for afs, ceph, ecryptfs, ext4, f2fs, nfs, ntfs3,
     ocfs2, orangefs, xfs and zonefs to do locking and/or revalidation

   - Make cifs use filemap_splice_read()

   - Replace pointers to generic_file_splice_read() with pointers to
     filemap_splice_read() as DIO and DAX are handled in the caller;
     filesystems can still provide their own alternate -&gt;splice_read()
     op

   - Remove generic_file_splice_read()

   - Remove ITER_PIPE and its paraphernalia as generic_file_splice_read
     was the only user"

     to populate holes, but filemap_get_pages() requires it

   - Provide overlayfs with its own splice_read to call down to a lower
     layer as overlayfs doesn't provide -&gt;read_folio()

   - Provide coda with its own splice_read to call down to a lower layer
     as coda doesn't provide -&gt;read_folio()

   - Direct -&gt;splice_read to copy_splice_read() in tty, procfs, kernfs
     and random files as they just copy to the output buffer and don't
     splice pages

   - Provide wrappers for afs, ceph, ecryptfs, ext4, f2fs, nfs, ntfs3,
     ocfs2, orangefs, xfs and zonefs to do locking and/or revalidation

   - Make cifs use filemap_splice_read()

   - Replace pointers to generic_file_splice_read() with pointers to
     filemap_splice_read() as DIO and DAX are handled in the caller;
     filesystems can still provide their own alternate -&gt;splice_read()
     op

   - Remove generic_file_splice_read()

   - Remove ITER_PIPE and its paraphernalia as generic_file_splice_read
     was the only user"

<title>bsr: fix build problem with bsr_class static cleanup</title>

<content type='text'>
In commit e55ce9fd3d8f ("bsr: make bsr_class a static const structure"),
the bsr_init function was converted to handle a static class structure,
but the conversion got a variable name wrong, which caused build errors
so fix that up.

Now that the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only
memory, move the xillybus_class structure to be declared at build time
placing it into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically
allocated at load time.

Now that the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only
memory, remove the class field of the ports_driver_data structure and
create the port_class static class structure declared at build time
which places it into read-only memory, instead of having it to be
dynamically allocated at load time.
