Alex Elder says: ==================== net: ipa: validation cleanup This series gathers a set of IPA driver cleanups, mostly involving code that ensures certain things are known to be correct *early* (either at build or initializatin time), so they can be assumed good during normal operation. The first removes three constant symbols, by making a (reasonable) assumption that a routing table consists of entries for the modem followed by entries for the AP, with no unused entries between them. The second removes two checks that are redundant (they verify the sizes of two memory regions are in range, which will have been done earlier for all regions). The third adds some new checks to routing and filter tables that can be done at "init time" (without requiring any access to IPA hardware). The fourth moves a check that routing and filter table addresses can be encoded within certain IPA immediate commands, so it's performed earlier; the checks can be done without touching IPA hardware. The fifth moves some other command-related checks earlier, for the same reason. The sixth removes the definition ipa_table_valid(), because what it does has become redundant. Finally, the last patch moves two more validation calls so they're done very early in the probe process. This will be required by some upcoming patches, which will record the size of the routing and filter tables at this time so they're available for subsequent initialization. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221021191340.4187935-1-elder@linaro.org Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
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.
