Hi, This is the infrastructure changes to prepare the tasklet API for conversion to passing the tasklet struct as the callback argument instead of an arbitrary unsigned long. The first patch details why this is useful (it's the same rationale as the timer_struct changes from a bit ago: less abuse during memory corruption attacks, more in line with existing ways of doing things in the kernel, save a little space in struct, etc). Notably, the existing tasklet API use is much less messy, so there is less to clean up. It's not clear to me which tree this should go through... Greg since it starts with a USB clean-up, -tip for timer or interrupt, or if I should just carry it. I'm open to suggestions, but if I don't hear otherwise, I'll just carry it. My goal is to have this merged for v5.9-rc1 so that during the v5.10 development cycle the new API will be available. The entire tree of changes is here[1] currently, but to split it up by maintainer the infrastructure changes need to be landed first. Review and Acks appreciated! :) Thanks, -Kees [1] https://github.com/allenpais/tasklets/commits/tasklets_V2 Kees Cook (2): usb: gadget: udc: Avoid tasklet passing a global treewide: Replace DECLARE_TASKLET() with DECLARE_TASKLET_OLD() Romain Perier (1): tasklet: Introduce new initialization API drivers/input/keyboard/omap-keypad.c | 2 +- drivers/input/serio/hil_mlc.c | 2 +- drivers/net/wan/farsync.c | 4 +-- drivers/s390/crypto/ap_bus.c | 2 +- drivers/staging/most/dim2/dim2.c | 2 +- drivers/staging/octeon/ethernet-tx.c | 2 +- drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c | 2 +- drivers/usb/gadget/udc/snps_udc_core.c | 6 ++--- drivers/usb/host/fhci-sched.c | 2 +- include/linux/interrupt.h | 37 ++++++++++++++++++++++---- kernel/backtracetest.c | 2 +- kernel/debug/debug_core.c | 2 +- kernel/irq/resend.c | 2 +- kernel/softirq.c | 18 ++++++++++++- net/atm/pppoatm.c | 2 +- net/iucv/iucv.c | 2 +- sound/drivers/pcsp/pcsp_lib.c | 2 +- 17 files changed, 66 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) -- 2.25.1
