Resulting code from compiler was runtime tested.
Actually, we used the latest bindings of some other audio dac as a starting point.
However, we introduced errors into the finally submitted file.
We will verify and test the schema next time.
Regarding the checks: both the rob herring bot and the sashiko bot also reported several issues directly to us,
so we are already aware of some other remaining errors.
We are currently working on a v2 to clean everything up.
Thanks and BR,
Nikolaus

It does not emit any C compiler issues or runtime problems so it remained unnoticed.
It was notified by the sahiko-bot and will be fixed in v2.

Thanks for pointing this out. In more than 10 years of contributing, I actually have never run into this specific issue before.
To give some context: this is a contribution we received on our mailing list about 5 years ago. We do not know the author personally, but the code looks good and has been thoroughly tested by us. I kept their Signed-off-by because I didn't want to falsely claim authorship.
Unless he answers to this mail, what would be the best way to proceed?
Should I keep him as the Author: in the git metadata but remove the pseudo-anonymous Signed-off-by, and instead add my own Signed-off-by (and perhaps a Co-developed-by or From: note) to certify the Developer's Certificate of Origin (DCO) myself?
Anyways this will likely be reworked based on the sahiko-bot recommendations to make regen not a regulator but a gpio that can be controlled by a separate regulator-fixed. This will also clarify/remove the "same meaning" statements and ambiguities.
Thanks and BR,
Nikolaus

You need to use latest existing bindings as starting point and test your
code.

In-Reply-To: <20260711-b4-vma-flags-mm-v2-0-0fa2357d5431@kernel.org>
Replace use of the legacy vm_flags_t flags with vma_flags_t values
throughout the mremap logic.
Note that, in replacing vm_flags_clear() (which takes the VMA write lock)
with vma_clear_flags() and vma_clear_flags_mask() (which do not)
respectively in unmap_source_vma() and dontunmap_complete(), we do not add
a VMA write lock to account for htis.
This is because, in both cases, move_vma() is their calling function and
this has already acquired the VMA write lock on vrm->vma whose VMA flags
are being cleared.
In the case of vma_set_flags() in unmap_source_vma() we do need to do this
- as prev and next were not necessarily write locked at this point.
Additionally update comments to reflect the changes to be consistent.
No functional change intended.

In-Reply-To: <20260711-b4-vma-flags-mm-v2-0-0fa2357d5431@kernel.org>
Replace use of the legacy vm_flags_t flags with vma_flags_t values
throughout the mprotect logic.
Note that we retain the legacy vm_flags_t bit shifting code in
do_mprotect_pkey(), deferring a vma_flags_t approach to this for the time
being.
Additionally update comments to reflect the changes to be consistent.
No functional change intended.

In-Reply-To: <20260711-b4-vma-flags-mm-v2-0-0fa2357d5431@kernel.org>
Replace use of the legacy vm_flags_t flags with vma_flags_t values in
create_init_stack_vma().
As part of this change we add VMA_STACK_EARLY and VMA_STACK_INCOMPLETE
vma_flags_t defines, and slightly rework create_init_stack_vma() for
clarity.
No functional change intended.

In-Reply-To: <20260711-b4-vma-flags-mm-v2-0-0fa2357d5431@kernel.org>
There's a large number of vm_get_page_prot(vma->vm_flags) invocations. Make
life easier by introducing vma_get_page_prot() parameterised by the VMA.
This also makes converting vm_get_page_prot() to vma_flags_t easier.
Also update the userland VMA tests to reflect the change.
No functional change intended.

In-Reply-To: <20260711-b4-vma-flags-mm-v2-0-0fa2357d5431@kernel.org>
Having vma_get_page_prot() refer to VMA flags and vma_set_page_prot() refer
to a VMA is confusing.
Rename vma_get_page_prot() to vma_flags_to_page_prot() to resolve this
confusion.
No functional change intended.

In-Reply-To: <20260711-b4-vma-flags-mm-v2-0-0fa2357d5431@kernel.org>
Update vm_pgprot_modify() to use the new VMA flags type vma_flags_t, and
rename to vma_pgprot_modify() accordingly.
This is part of the ongoing work to convert vm_flags_t to vma_flags_t, in
order to eliminate the arbitrary limit of the number of bits in a system
word on available VMA flags.
Update VMA userland tests accordingly, updating vma_set_page_prot() to no
longer inline vma_pgprot_modify(), rather we can simply define
vma_pgprot_modify() as a static inline function and the tests will pick it
up from vma.h.
No functional change intended.

In-Reply-To: <20260711-b4-vma-flags-mm-v2-0-0fa2357d5431@kernel.org>
Currently mm->def_flags (of type vm_flags_t) is union'd with
mm->def_vma_flags (of type vma_flags_t).
As part of the effort to convert vm_flags_t usage to vma_flags_t (in order
to no longer be arbitrarily limited to a system word size for VMA flags),
prefer mm->def_vma_flags to mm->def_flags throughout the mm logic.
We update dump_mm() to use the %*pb format which means we make no
assumption about the number of VMA flag bits on output when outputting
default VMA flags.
No functional change intended.

In-Reply-To: <20260711-b4-vma-flags-mm-v2-0-0fa2357d5431@kernel.org>
As part of the changes converting VMA flags from a system word size to a
bitmap, extend this change to generic_get_unmapped_area() and
generic_get_unmapped_area_topdown(), which also allows us to convert
stack_guard_placement() as well.
We retain arch_get_unmapped_area() and arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown()
as-is for now, using legacy_to_vma_flags() as necessary to do so.
No functional change intended.

In-Reply-To: <20260711-b4-vma-flags-mm-v2-0-0fa2357d5431@kernel.org>
Update __get_unmapped_area() to be parameterised by vma_flags_t rather than
vm_flags_t as part of the effort to move VMA flags from a system word to a
bitmap.
We cascade the changes up to arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() and
arch_get_unmapped_area(), where, for now, we use vma_flags_to_legacy() in
order to propagate the VMA flags.
No functional change intended.

In-Reply-To: <20260711-b4-vma-flags-mm-v2-0-0fa2357d5431@kernel.org>
The core do_mmap() function accepts a vm_flags_t parameter which it then
manipulates before passing to mmap_region() to do the heavy lifting of the
memory mapping.
Update do_mmap() to instead accept a vma_flags_t parameter, and adjust all
the logic within do_mmap() to manipulate this instead.
This is as part of the ongoing effort to convert VMA flags from a system
word size to a bitmap type which allows us to unrestrict the number of VMA
flags, as well as gain control over how VMA flag manipulation occurs.
We do not cascade these changes to all functions which accept vm_flags_t,
but rather use vma_flags_to_legacy() where necessary, specifically
deferring converting calc_vm_prot_bits(), calc_vm_flag_bits() and
__get_unmapped_area() to vma_flags_t.
Also utilise the new vma_flags_can_grow() predicate which correctly handles
the case of architectures without upward growing stacks.
As part of this change, introduce VMA_SHADOW_STACK so we can correctly
handle the case of the shadow stack not being defined.
No functional change intended.

In-Reply-To: <20260711-b4-vma-flags-mm-v2-0-0fa2357d5431@kernel.org>
These test whether the VMA has stack semantics, i.e. is able to grow
upwards or downwards depending on the architecture.
In order to account for arches which do not support upward-growing stacks,
introduce VMA_GROWSUP whose definition depends on the architecture
supporting it, and use vma_flags_test_single_mask() in vma_flags_can_grow()
to account for this.
No functional change intended.

This series makes further progress in converting usage of the deprecated
vm_flags_t type to its replacement, vma_flags_t.
It focuses on mm, though updates some users of mm APIs also.
It updates:
* The core do_mmap() code path for VMA mapping.
* Unmapped area logic.
* The usage of mm->def_vma_flags.
* VMA page protection bit logic.
* General usage of VMA flags in core mm code, mlock, mprotect, mremap.
REVIEWER/MERGER NOTE: This is dependent on [0], which must be merged before
this.

Changes in v2:
* Rebased on to mm-new that has the 33 patch rework dependency in it.
* Distributed tags, thanks everybody!
* Moved VMA_STACK_INCOMPLETE_SETUP and VMA_STACK_EARLY VMA userland test defines
from 1/13 to 9/13 as per Zi.
* Fixed whitespace in 3/13 as per Zi.
* Updated 5/13 to use %*pb formatter for VMA flags (to match mm flags formatter)
in dump_mm(), as per Lance.
* Updated 8/13 to update panthor_gem.c to vma_get_page_prot() as per Lance.
* Fixed up comment type in 11/13 as per Lance.
* Fixed bug of using VMA_GROWSUP_BIT rather than VMA_GROWSUP as per Lance
in 12/13.
* Added detail about when we are and are not required to open code
vma_write_lock() for VMA flag mutators in the commit message for 13/13 as
per Lance and Zi.

Well you do absolutely have to hold the lock once the VMA is initialised when
using any VMA flags API that manipulates flags (apart from the explicitly atomic
case).
The argument here is that the VMA was _already locked_ at the point of clearing

Nah we can't...

...because of this but also this is the canonical definition and we want to use
it for the VMA_xxx form.

Yeah good idea, I may add a new DECLARE_INTERNAL_VMA_BIT() that gives you
__VMA_xxx_BIT, so nobody makes the obvious mistake and we force uses of safe
VMA_xxx form. Hmm :)

Yeah, indeed, not great naming there. Was a pre-existing though, and previously
was VM_LOCKED_MASK (also not great :)
The whole VMA_LOCKED_BIT and VMA_LOCK_ON_FAULT_BIT thing is a bit weird anyway,
since you set both and then just use the latter to know not to fault in in
GUP... anyway, can revisit that one later...! :)
