This is probably going to come up in lots of places because of the old training data raid6: use named initializers for struct raid6_calls - whining about keeping totally pointless comments raid6: warn when using less than four devices - complains about warning for btrfs which is clearly documented as the outcome in the commit log - and also complaining that the enforcement isn't hard enough, but the WARN_ON is the best we can do here raid6: rework registration of optimized algorithms - less registration causing less kunit coverage: that's intentional as it keeps testing time down and similar to other arch optimized tests in crc and crypto code. It also doesn't really reduce coverage as before this series there was none. raid6: use static_call for gen_syndrom and xor_syndrom - doesn't seem to know that bool fails when an initcall fails raid6_kunit: use KUNIT_CASE_PARAM - whining about the code style. I don't really like it either, but the kunit case stuff is a mess There are a few somewhat useful things, though. raid6: hide internals - yes, the -I is duplicate and should be fixed raid6: rework registration of optimized algorithms - avx2 instead of avx512 is probably the right thing for no benchmarking, but if it was intentional (it wasn't), that should be document. So I'll just switch back to the previous version to keep the state of the art
