Subject: Merge tag 'driver-core-7.3-rc2' of
 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-core

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

+
+This target is similar to the linear target except that it emulates
+a smaller logical block size on a device with a larger logical block
+size.  Its main purpose is to provide emulation of 512 byte sectors on
+devices that do not provide this emulation (i.e. 4K native disks).
+
+Supported emulated logical block sizes 512, 1024, 2048 and 4096.
+
+Underlying block size can be set to > 4K to test buffering larger units.
+
+
+Table parameters
+----------------
+  <dev path> <offset> <emulated sectors> [<underlying sectors>]
+
+Mandatory parameters:
+
+    <dev path>:
+        Full pathname to the underlying block-device,
+        or a "major:minor" device-number.
+    <offset>:
+        Starting sector within the device;
+        has to be a multiple of <emulated sectors>.
+    <emulated sectors>:
+        Number of sectors defining the logical block size to be emulated;
+        1, 2, 4, 8 sectors of 512 bytes supported.
+
+Optional parameter:
+
+    <underlying sectors>:
+        Number of sectors defining the logical block size of <dev path>.
+        2^N supported, e.g. 8 = emulate 8 sectors of 512 bytes = 4KiB.
+        If not provided, the logical block size of <dev path> will be used.
+
+
+Examples:
+
+Emulate 1 sector = 512 bytes logical block size on /dev/sda starting at
+offset 1024 sectors with underlying devices block size automatically set:
+
+ebs /dev/sda 1024 1
+
+Emulate 2 sector = 1KiB logical block size on /dev/sda starting at
+offset 128 sectors, enforce 2KiB underlying device block size.
+This presumes 2KiB logical blocksize on /dev/sda or less to work:
+
+ebs /dev/sda 128 2 4
