Patch series "lib min_heap: Improve min_heap safety, testing, and documentation". Improve the min heap implementation by enhancing type safety with container_of, reducing the attack vector by replacing test function calls with inline variants, and adding a brief API introduction in min_heap.h. It also includes author information in Documentation/core-api/min_heap.rst. This patch (of 4): The current implementation of min_heap macros uses explicit casting to min_heap_char *, which prevents the compiler from detecting incorrect pointer types. This can lead to errors if non-min_heap pointers are passed inadvertently. To enhance safety, replace all explicit casts to min_heap_char * with the use of container_of(&(_heap)->nr, min_heap_char, nr). This approach ensures that the _heap parameter is indeed a min_heap_char-compatible structure, allowing the compiler to catch improper usages.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
