comedi: comedi_test: fix check for valid scan_begin_src in waveform_ai_cmdtest()

2026-05-21T08:34:04+00:00

Commit 783ddaebd397 ("staging: comedi: comedi_test: support scan_begin_src == TRIG_FOLLOW") neglected to add a test that `scan_begin_src` has only one bit set. The allowed values are `TRIG_FOLLOW` and `TRIG_TIMER`, but the code incorrectly also allows `TRIG_FOLLOW | TRIG_TIMER`. Add a call to `comedi_check_trigger_is_unique()` to check that only one trigger source bit is set.

comedi: comedi_test: Fix limiting of convert_arg in waveform_ai_cmdtest()

2026-05-21T08:33:59+00:00

The function checks and possibly modifies the description of an asynchronous command to be run on the analog input subdevice of a comedi device attached to the "comedi_test" driver, returning 0 if no modifications were required, or a positive value that indicates which step of the checking process it failed on. Step 4 fixes up various argument values for various trigger sources. There are two bugs in the fixing up of the `convert_arg` value to keep the `scan_begin_arg` value within the range of `unsigned int` when `scan_begin_src` and `convert_src` both have the value `TRIG_TIMER`, which indicates that the corresponding `_arg` values hold a time period in nanoseconds. The code also uses `scan_end_arg` which hold the number of "conversions" within each "scan". The goal is to end up with the scan period being less than or equal to the convert period multiplied by the number of conversions per scan. It intends to do that by clamping the `convert_arg` value to a maximum value of `UINT_MAX / scan_end_arg` rounded down to a multiple of 1000 (`NSEC_PER_USEC`). (The rounding from nanoseconds to microseconds is because the driver is modelling a device that uses a 1 MHz clock for timing. This is partly because that is a more typical timing base for real hardware devices driven by comedi, and partly because the driver used to use `struct timeval` internally.) The first bug is that the code checks if `scan_begin_arg == TRIG_TIMER` when it should be checking if `scan_begin_src == TRIG_TIMER`. The bugged check will always fail because if `scan_begin_src == TRIG_TIMER`, then `scan_begin_arg` will be at least 1000 (`NSEC_PER_USEC`), otherwise `scan_begin_src == TRIG_FOLLOW` and `scan_begin_arg` will be 0. (N.B `TRIG_TIMER` is defined as `0x10`.) The second bug is that is rounding the maximum value down to a multiple of 1000000000 (`NSEC_PER_SEC`) instead of 1000 (`NSEC_PER_USEC`), however this bug is not reached due to the first bug. This patch fixes both bugs.

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.
