Merge tag 'driver-core-7.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-corePull driver core updates from Danilo Krummrich: "debugfs: - Fix NULL pointer dereference in debugfs_create_str() - Fix misplaced EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for debugfs_create_str() - Fix soundwire debugfs NULL pointer dereference from uninitialized firmware_file device property: - Make fwnode flags modifications thread safe; widen the field to unsigned long and use set_bit() / clear_bit() based accessors - Document how to check for the property presence devres: - Separate struct devres_node from its "subclasses" (struct devres, struct devres_group); give struct devres_node its own release and free callbacks for per-type dispatch - Introduce struct devres_action for devres actions, avoiding the ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN alignment overhead of struct devres - Export struct devres_node and its init/add/remove/dbginfo primitives for use by Rust Devres - Fix missing node debug info in devm_krealloc() - Use guard(spinlock_irqsave) where applicable; consolidate unlock paths in devres_release_group() driver_override: - Convert PCI, WMI, vdpa, s390/cio, s390/ap, and fsl-mc to the generic driver_override infrastructure, replacing per-bus driver_override strings, sysfs attributes, and match logic; fixes a potential UAF from unsynchronized access to driver_override in bus match() callbacks - Simplify __device_set_driver_override() logic kernfs: - Send IN_DELETE_SELF and IN_IGNORED inotify events on kernfs file and directory removal - Add corresponding selftests for memcg platform: - Allow attaching software nodes when creating platform devices via a new 'swnode' field in struct platform_device_info - Add kerneldoc for struct platform_device_info software node: - Move software node initialization from postcore_initcall() to driver_init(), making it available early in the boot process - Move kernel_kobj initialization (ksysfs_init) earlier to support the above - Remove software_node_exit(); dead code in a built-in unit SoC: - Introduce of_machine_read_compatible() and of_machine_read_model() OF helpers and export soc_attr_read_machine() to replace direct accesses to of_root from SoC drivers; also enables CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST coverage for these drivers sysfs: - Constify attribute group array pointers to 'const struct attribute_group *const *' in sysfs functions, device_add_groups() / device_remove_groups(), and struct class Rust: - Devres: - Embed struct devres_node directly in Devres instead of going through devm_add_action(), avoiding the extra allocation and the unnecessary ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN alignment - I/O: - Turn IoCapable from a marker trait into a functional trait carrying the raw I/O accessor implementation (io_read / io_write), providing working defaults for the per-type Io methods - Add RelaxedMmio wrapper type, making relaxed accessors usable in code generic over the Io trait - Remove overloaded per-type Io methods and per-backend macros from Mmio and PCI ConfigSpace - I/O (Register): - Add IoLoc trait and generic read/write/update methods to the Io trait, making I/O operations parameterizable by typed locations - Add register! macro for defining hardware register types with typed bitfield accessors backed by Bounded values; supports direct, relative, and array register addressing - Add write_reg() / try_write_reg() and LocatedRegister trait - Update PCI sample driver to demonstrate the register! macro Example: ``` register! { /// UART control register.

56e3ee721b33bdc4ce0765d370983aa4384f8a59 - driver core: Make deferred_probe_timeout default a Kconfig option

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 09:49:16 +0100

driver core: Make deferred_probe_timeout default a Kconfig optionCode using driver_deferred_probe_check_state() differs from mostEPROBE_DEFER handling in the kernel. Where other EPROBE_DEFER handling(e.g. clks, gpios and regulators) waits indefinitely for suppliers toshow up, code using driver_deferred_probe_check_state() will failafter the deferred_probe_timeout.This is a problem for generic distro kernels which want to support manyboards using a single kernel build. These kernels want as much drivers tobe modular as possible. The initrd also should be as small as possible,so the initrd will *not* have drivers not needing to get the rootfs.Combine this with waiting for a full-disk encryption password inthe initrd and it is pretty much guaranteed that the default 10s timeoutwill be hit, causing probe() failures when drivers on the rootfs happento get modprobe-d before other rootfs modules providing their suppliers.Make the default timeout configurable from Kconfig to allow distro kernelconfigs where many of the supplier drivers are modules to set the defaultthrough Kconfig.Reviewed-by: Saravana Kannan Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260314084916.10868-1-johannes.goede@oss.qualcomm.com[ Drop deferred_probe_timeout documentation change in kernel-parameters.txt. - Danilo ]Signed-off-by: Danilo Krummrich List of files: /linux/drivers/base/Kconfig

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 13:30:37 +0100

driver core: disable revocable code from buildThe revocable code is still under active discussion, and there is noin-kernel users of it. So disable it from the build for now so that noone suffers from it being present in the tree, yet leave it in thesource tree so that others can easily test it by reverting this commitand building off of it for future releases.Acked-by: Danilo Krummrich Link: https://patch.msgid.link/2026020307-rimmed-dreamy-5a67@gregkhReviewed-by: Tzung-Bi Shih Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman List of files: /linux/drivers/base/Kconfig
