For multi-descriptor transmits the driver writes DT_FEND into the last descriptor and DT_FSTART into the first. The DMA engine begins processing when it observes DT_FSTART. Move the dma_wmb() barrier so it executes immediately after DT_FEND and immediately before writing DT_FSTART (and before DT_FSINGLE in the single-descriptor case). This guarantees that all prior CPU writes to the descriptor memory are visible to the device before DT_FSTART is seen. This avoids a situation where compiler/CPU reordering could publish DT_FSTART ahead of DT_FEND or other descriptor fields, allowing the DMA to start on a partially initialised chain and causing corrupted transmissions or TX timeouts. Such a failure was observed on RZ/G2L with an RT kernel as transmit queue timeouts and device resets.

[PATCH] soc: qcom: gsbi: fix double disable caused by devm

by Haotian Zhang

In the commit referenced by the Fixes tag, devm_clk_get_enabled() was introduced to replace devm_clk_get() and clk_prepare_enable(). While the clk_disable_unprepare() call in the error path was correctly removed, the one in the remove function was overlooked, leading to a double disable issue. Remove the redundant clk_disable_unprepare() call from gsbi_remove() to fix this issue. Since all resources are now managed by devres and will be automatically released, the remove function serves no purpose and can be deleted entirely.

Wong" <djwong(a)kernel.org> Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2025 11:30:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] xfs: always warn about deprecated mount options The deprecation of the 'attr2' mount option in 6.18 wasn't entirely successful because nobody noticed that the kernel never printed a warning about attr2 being set in fstab if the only xfs filesystem is the root fs; the initramfs mounts the root fs with no mount options; and the init scripts only conveyed the fstab options by remounting the root fs.
