Pull IPE fixes from Fan Wu: "Two fixes for use-after-free issues found by recent LLM-assisted code analysis. - move successful policy load auditing under the new policy directory's inode lock, preventing a concurrent policy deletion from freeing the policy while it is still being audited - protect the dm-verity root hash with RCU, preventing policy evaluation from racing with root hash replacement during preresume" * tag 'ipe-pr-20260925' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wufan/ipe: ipe: protect the dm-verity root hash with RCU ipe: fix use-after-free when auditing a newly loaded policy

+Date: November 2015
+KernelVersion: 4.4
+Contact: linux-gpio@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+ The character device files /dev/gpiochip* are the interface
+ between GPIO chips and userspace.
+
+ The ioctl(2)-based ABI is defined in
+ [include/uapi]<linux/gpio.h> and documented in
+ Documentation/userspace-api/gpio/chardev.rst.
+
+ The following file operations are supported:
+
+ open(2)
+ Currently the only useful flags are O_RDWR.
+
+ ioctl(2)
+ Initiate various actions.
+
+ See Documentation/userspace-api/gpio/chardev.rst
+ for a description of all ioctls.
+
+ close(2)
+ Stops and free up the I/O contexts that was associated
+ with the file descriptor.
