Until now, the dell-wmi-ddv driver needs to be manually
patched and compiled to test compatibility with unknown
DDV WMI interface versions.
Add a module param to allow users to force loading even
when a unknown interface version was detected. Since this
might cause various unwanted side effects, the module param
is marked as unsafe.

When SMT is disabled from kernel command line, sibling CPUs still
appears in the sysfs as offline CPUs. This is a problem when turbo-freq
is enabled in auto mode. They are still assigned to CLOS value
of 3 as they are still in the present CPU list. But they are not in the
sibling list of a CPU. When the CPU is a high priority CPU, because of
sibling it will be still set to CLOS to 3 as CLOS is assigned at core

If nilfs2 reads a corrupted disk image and its DAT metadata file contains
invalid lifetime data for a virtual block number, a kernel warning can be
generated by the WARN_ON check in nilfs_dat_commit_end() and can panic if
the kernel is booted with panic_on_warn.
This patch avoids the issue with a sanity check that treats it as an
error.
Since error return is not allowed in the execution phase of
nilfs_dat_commit_end(), this inserts that sanity check in
nilfs_dat_prepare_end(), which prepares for nilfs_dat_commit_end().
As the error code, -EINVAL is returned to notify bmap layer of the
metadata corruption. When the bmap layer sees this code, it handles the
abnormal situation and replaces the return code with -EIO as it should.

In workloads where this_cpu operations are frequently performed,

runtime overhead due to frequent invocation of
__this_cpu_preempt_check() function.
This can be demonstrated through benchmarks such as hackbench where this
configuration results in a 10% reduction in performance, primarily due to
the added overhead within memcg charging path.
Therefore, do not to enable DEBUG_PREEMPT by default and make users aware

There is no hardware control for DFLTCC window size. After this change,
software and hardware window formats no longer match: the software will
use wbits and wsize, and the hardware will use HB_BITS and HB_SIZE.
Since neither dictionary manipulation nor internal allocation functions
are relevant to kernel zlib and zlib_inflate_workspacesize() always use
MAX_WBITS for window size calculation, only dfltcc_can_inflate() and
dfltcc_inflate() functions are affected by this patch.

Currently deflate and inflate both use a common state struct. There are
several variables in this struct that we don't need for inflate, and
more may be coming in the future. Therefore split them in two separate
structs.
Apart from that, introduce separate headers for dfltcc_deflate and
dfltcc_inflate.

Patch series "lib/zlib: Set of s390 DFLTCC related patches for kernel zlib".
Patches 1-7 represent a set of s390 zlib hardware support (DFLTCC) related
fixes and enhancements integrated from zlib-ng repo relevant to kernel
zlib (https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng).
Since the official zlib repository never got DFLTCC support code merged,
all the patches have been picked from zlib-ng fork (zlib data compression
library for the next generation systems). This repo contains new
optimizations and fixes not getting implemented into the official zlib
repository and falls under the same zlib License. All of the original
patches from zlib-ng were authored by Ilya Leoshkevich
<iii@linux.ibm.com>. Coding style has been preserved for future
maintainability.
Patches 1-2 should have no effect for the kernel zlib but make the code
closer to zlib-ng for future maintainability.
Only Patch 3 touches common zlib_deflate code, other patches are relevant
to s390 tree only.
Patch 8 is separate and intends to resolve an issue with kernel PPP driver
which can use kernel zlib for packet compression. Without this patch PPP
decompression can fail due to error code returned by hardware
(dfltcc_inflate) and PPP disables zlib compression for further packets.

If DAT metadata file block access fails due to corruption of the DAT file
or abnormal virtual block numbers held by b-trees or inodes, a kernel
warning is generated.
This replaces the WARN_ONs by error output, so that a kernel, booted with
panic_on_warn, does not panic. This patch also replaces the detected
return code -ENOENT with another internal code -EINVAL to notify the bmap
layer of metadata corruption. When the bmap layer sees -EINVAL, it
handles the abnormal situation with nilfs_bmap_convert_error() and finally
returns code -EIO as it should.

When filesystem's ->get_block function does not map the buffer head when
called from __mpage_writepage(), __mpage_writepage() will happily go and
pass bogus bdev and block number to bio allocation routines which leads to
crashes sooner or later.
E.g. UDF can do this because it doesn't want to allocate blocks from
->writepages callbacks. It allocates blocks on write or page fault but
writeback can still spot dirty buffers without underlying blocks allocated
e.g. if blocksize < pagesize, the tail page is dirtied (which means all
its buffers are dirtied), and truncate extends the file so that some
buffer starts to be within i_size.

Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in
ext4_update_bh_state. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag,
so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction
in front of cmpxchg).
Also, try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg
fails. There is no need to re-read the value in the loop.

Instead of using an unnecessarily complicated approach to print a line
that is warned about, use `$herecurr` instead, just like everywhere else
in checkpatch.
While at it, remove a superfluous space in one of the changed lines, too.
In a unmodified line also remove a superfluous check for a space before a
signed-off-by tag, to me consistent with the check at the start of the
section.
All three problems were found by Joe Perches during review of new code

Patch series "checkpatch.pl: warn about discouraged tags and missing Link:
tags", v4.
The first two changes make checkpatch.pl check for a few mistakes wrt to
links to bug reports Linus recently complained about a few times.
Avoiding those is also important for my regression tracking efforts a lot,
as the automated tracking performed by regzbot relies on the proper usage
of the Link: tag.
The third patch fixes a few small oddities noticed in existing code during
review of the two changes.
This patch (of 3):
Issue a warning when encountering URLs behind unknown tags, as Linus
recently stated ```please stop making up random tags that make no sense.
Just use "Link:"```[1]. That statement was triggered by an use of
'BugLink', but that's not the only tag people invented:
$ git log -100000 --no-merges --format=email -P \
--grep='^\w+:[ ]*http' | grep -Poh '^\w+:[ ]*http' | \
sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -n 20

Some of these non-standard tags make it harder for external tools that
rely on use of proper tags. One of those tools is the regression tracking
bot 'regzbot', which looks out for "Link:" tags pointing to reports of
tracked regressions.
The initial idea was to use a disallow list to raise an error when
encountering known unwanted tags like BugLink:; during review it was
requested to use a list of allowed tags instead[2].
