Merge tag 'ipe-pr-20260925' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wufan/ipegrafted

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"

+FAILOVER
+========
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The failover module provides a generic interface for paravirtual drivers
+to register a netdev and a set of ops with a failover instance. The ops
+are used as event handlers that get called to handle netdev register/
+unregister/link change/name change events on slave pci ethernet devices
+with the same mac address as the failover netdev.
+
+This enables paravirtual drivers to use a VF as an accelerated low latency
+datapath. It also allows live migration of VMs with direct attached VFs by
+failing over to the paravirtual datapath when the VF is unplugged.
