      iommu/amd: fix a crash in iova_magazine_free_pfns · 8cf66504
      Qian Cai authored 
      The commit b3aa14f0 ("iommu: remove the mapping_error dma_map_ops
method") incorrectly changed the checking from dma_ops_alloc_iova() in
map_sg() causes a crash under memory pressure as dma_ops_alloc_iova()
never return DMA_MAPPING_ERROR on failure but 0, so the error handling
is all wrong.

lack of __GFP_ACCOUNT for the user PTEs allocation.

      dt-bindings: riscv: Limit cpus schema to only check RiscV 'cpu' nodes · 7d9ef7f3
      Rob Herring authored 
      Matching on the 'cpus' node was a bad choice because the schema is
incorrectly applied to non-RiscV cpus nodes. As we now have a common cpus
schema which checks the general structure, it is also redundant to do so
in the Risc-V CPU schema.

The downside is one could conceivably mix different architecture's cpu
nodes or have typos in the compatible string. The latter problem pretty
much exists for every schema.

      dt-bindings: Ensure child nodes are of type 'object' · 15ffef1a
      Rob Herring authored 
      Properties which are child node definitions need to have an explict
type. Otherwise, a matching (DT) property can silently match when an
error is desired. Fix this up tree-wide. Once this is fixed, the
meta-schema will enforce this on any child node definitions.

  intrusivenness of the RT patches by refactoring kernel infrastructure
  to be more real-time friendly. Almost all of these changes were
  benefitial to the mainline kernel on their own, so there was no
  objection to integrate them.

  Though except for the still ongoing printk refactoring, the remaining
  changes which are required to make RT a first class mainline citizen
  are not longer arguable as immediately beneficial for the mainline
  kernel. Most of them are either reordering code flows or adding RT
  specific functionality.

  But this now has hit a wall and turned into a classic hen and egg
  problem:

     Maintainers are rightfully wary vs. these changes as they make only
     sense if the final integration of RT into the mainline kernel takes
     place.

  Adding CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT aims to solve this as a clear sign that RT
  will be fully integrated into the mainline kernel. The final
  integration of the missing bits and pieces will be of course done with
  the same careful approach as we have used in the past.

  While I'm aware that you are not entirely enthusiastic about that, I
  think that RT should receive the same treatment as any other widely
  used out of tree functionality, which we have accepted into mainline
  over the years.

  RT has become the de-facto standard real-time enhancement and is
  shipped by enterprise, embedded and community distros. It's in use
  throughout a wide range of industries: telecommunications, industrial
  automation, professional audio, medical devices, data acquisition,
  automotive - just to name a few major use cases.

  RT development is backed by a Linuxfoundation project which is
  supported by major stakeholders of this technology. The funding will
  continue over the actual inclusion into mainline to make sure that the
  functionality is neither introducing regressions, regressing itself,
  nor becomes subject to bitrot. There is also a lifely user community
  around RT as well, so contrary to the grim situation 5 years ago, it's
  a healthy project.

  As RT is still a good vehicle to exercise rarely used code paths and
  to detect hard to trigger issues, you could at least view it as a QA
  tool if nothing else"

      Pull SCSI fixes from James Bottomley:
 "This is the final round of mostly small fixes in our initial submit.

  It's mostly minor fixes and driver updates. The only change of note is
  adding a virt_boundary_mask to the SCSI host and host template to
  parametrise this for NVMe devices instead of having them do a call in
  slave_alloc. It's a fairly straightforward conversion except in the
  two NVMe handling drivers that didn't set it who now have a virtual
  infinity parameter added"
