mm: rename zap_vma_ptes() to zap_special_vma_range()

2026-04-05T20:53:15+00:00

zap_vma_ptes() is the only zapping function we export to modules. It's essentially a wrapper around zap_vma_range(), however, with some safety checks: * That the passed range fits fully into the VMA * That it's only used for VM_PFNMAP We will add support for VM_MIXEDMAP next, so use the more-generic term "special vma", although "special" is a bit overloaded. Maybe we'll later just support any VM_SPECIAL flag. While at it, improve the kerneldoc.

comedi: remove unnecessary module_init/exit functions

2026-04-02T13:49:54+00:00

Many Comedi drivers have unnecessary empty module_init and module_exit functions. Remove them. Note that if a module_init function exists, a module_exit function must also exist; otherwise, the module cannot be unloaded.

Commit 6cd5a9a35c3d ("staging/trivial: fix typos concerning "access"") accidentally changed "Acces I/O Products" to "Access I/O Products", although "Acces" should actually be a capitalized acronym "ACCES" (standing for "Acquisition, Control, and Communication: Engineering & Systems").

comedi: s526: Add sanity checks for I/O base address

2026-04-02T13:49:40+00:00

The "s526" driver uses an admin-supplied configuration option (`it->options[0]`) to configure the I/O port base address of a Sensoray 526 board. It currently allows any base address to be configured but the hardware only supports base addresses (configured by on-board DIP switches) in the range 0 to 0xFFC0 on 64-byte boundaries. Add a sanity check to ensure the device is not configured at an unsupported base address.
