Merge tag 'driver-core-7.3-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-coregrafted
Pull driver core fixes from Danilo Krummrich: - Fix kernfs listxattr() not returning security xattr names (e.g. SELinux labels) when the kernfs node has no allocated kernfs_iattrs - Fix silent truncation of IRQ vector indices in the Rust PCI abstractions - Don't select OF from DRIVER_PE_KUNIT_TEST; skip the test when OF is disabled instead of silently enabling extra kernel functionality - Russ Weight is retiring from kernel development; update the Firmware Loader sysfs contact to the driver-core mailing list, add a CREDITS entry for Firmware Upload, and update MAINTAINERS accordingly * tag 'driver-core-7.3-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-core: MAINTAINERS: Remove Russ Weight from Firmware Loader CREDITS: Add CREDITS entry for Firmware Upload firmware_loader: Change contact for sysfs nodes rust: pci: reject IRQ vector indices that do not fit in u32 kernfs: preserve security xattrs without allocating iattrs drivers: base: test: DRIVER_PE_KUNIT_TEST should not select OF

+ * copy_from_user_nmi - NMI safe copy from user
+ * @to: Pointer to the destination buffer
+ * @from: Pointer to a user space address of the current task
+ * @n: Number of bytes to copy
+ *
+ * Returns: The number of not copied bytes. 0 is success, i.e. all bytes copied
+ *
+ * Contrary to other copy_from_user() variants this function can be called
+ * from NMI context. Despite the name it is not restricted to be called
+ * from NMI context. It is safe to be called from any other context as
+ * well. It disables pagefaults across the copy which means a fault will
+ * abort the copy.
+ *
+ * For NMI context invocations this relies on the nested NMI work to allow
+ * atomic faults from the NMI path; the nested NMI paths are careful to
+ * preserve CR2.
