Merge tag 'io_uring-7.3-20261002' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linuxgrafted
Pull io_uring fixes from Jens Axboe: - Fix a task_work add use-after-free with SQPOLL. The sqpoll thread could pop and complete the last request while io_req_normal_work_add() was still looking at them after the mpscq push. Use the same approach as DEFER_TASKRUN to protect from that, holding an RCU read lock across the add, and have exit wait for an RCU grace period for SQPOLL rings as well. - CQE32 ring fixes: correct the free entry check for 32b CQEs, zero the big_cqe for aux CQEs, and only post the dummy skip CQE on CQE_MIXED rings - Mark the source filter table as COW when cloning bpf filters, so registering another filter on the source doesn't modify the shared table in place - Initialize the task context before running the BPF loop - Requeue zcrx multishot receives stopped by a local resource - End a TX_TIMESTAMP multishot cmd when the CQ is full (lollipopkit) * tag 'io_uring-7.3-20261002' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux: io_uring: fix task_work add use-after-free with SQPOLL io_uring/cmd_net: end TX_TIMESTAMP multishot when the CQ is full io_uring/zcrx: requeue multishot receives stopped by a local resource io_uring: initialize task context before running the BPF loop io_uring: zero big_cqe for aux CQEs on CQE32 rings io_uring: fix free entry check for 32b CQEs on CQE32 rings io_uring: only post the dummy skip CQE on CQE_MIXED rings io_uring/bpf_filter: mark source as COW when cloning filters

+=======================
+ dGPU firmware flashing
+=======================
+
+IFWI
+----
+Flashing the dGPU integrated firmware image (IFWI) is supported by GPUs that
+use the PSP to orchestrate the update (Navi3x or newer GPUs).
+For supported GPUs, `amdgpu` will export a series of sysfs files that can be
+used for the flash process.
+
+The IFWI flash process is:
+
+1. Ensure the IFWI image is intended for the dGPU on the system.
+2. "Write" the IFWI image to the sysfs file `psp_vbflash`. This will stage the IFWI in memory.
+3. "Read" from the `psp_vbflash` sysfs file to initiate the flash process.
+4. Poll the `psp_vbflash_status` sysfs file to determine when the flash process completes.
+
+USB-C PD F/W
+------------
+On GPUs that support flashing an updated USB-C PD firmware image, the process
+is done using the `usbc_pd_fw` sysfs file.
+
+* Reading the file will provide the current firmware version.
+* Writing the name of a firmware payload stored in `/lib/firmware/amdgpu` to the sysfs file will initiate the flash process.
+
+The firmware payload stored in `/lib/firmware/amdgpu` can be named any name
+as long as it doesn't conflict with other existing binaries that are used by
+`amdgpu`.
