Pull vfio fixes from Alex Williamson: - Fix the lifecycle of a mutex in the pds variant driver such that a reset prior to opening the device won't find it uninitialized. Implement the release path to symmetrically destroy the mutex. Also switch a different lock from spinlock to mutex as the code path has the potential to sleep and doesn't need the spinlock context otherwise (Brett Creeley) - Fix an issue detected via randconfig where KVM tries to symbol_get an undeclared function. The symbol is temporarily declared unconditionally here, which resolves the problem and avoids churn relative to a series pending for the next merge window which resolves some of this symbol ugliness, but also fixes Kconfig dependencies (Sean Christopherson) * tag 'vfio-v6.7-rc4' of https://github.com/awilliam/linux-vfio: vfio: Drop vfio_file_iommu_group() stub to fudge around a KVM wart vfio/pds: Fix possible sleep while in atomic context vfio/pds: Fix mutex lock->magic != lock warning
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 Restructured Text 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.
