raid6: move to lib/raid/

2026-05-29T04:24:53+00:00

Move the raid6 code to live in lib/raid/ with the XOR code, and change the
internal organization so that each architecture has a subdirectory similar
to the CRC, crypto and XOR libraries, and fix up the Makefile to only
build files actually needed.

Also move the kunit test case from the history test/ subdirectory to
tests/ and use the normal naming scheme for it.

raid6: turn the userspace test harness into a kunit test

2026-05-29T04:24:52+00:00

Patch series "cleanup the RAID6 P/Q library", v3.

This series cleans up the RAID6 P/Q library to match the recent updates to
the RAID 5 XOR library and other CRC/crypto libraries.  This includes
providing properly documented external interfaces, hiding the internals,
using static_call instead of indirect calls and turning the user space
test suite into an in-kernel kunit test which is also extended to improve
coverage.

Note that this changes registration so that non-priority algorithms are
not registered, which greatly helps with the benchmark time at boot time. 
I'd like to encourage all architecture maintainers to see if they can
further optimized this by registering as few as possible algorithms when
there is a clear benefit in optimized or more unrolled implementations.


This patch (of 18):

Currently the raid6 code can be compiled as userspace code to run the test
suite.  Convert that to be a kunit case with minimal changes to avoid
mutating global state so that we can drop this requirement.

Note that this is not a good kunit test case yet and will need a lot more
work, but that is deferred until the raid6 code is moved to it's new
place, which is easier if the userspace makefile doesn't need adjustments
for the new location first.

Pull RISC-V updates from Paul Walmsley:

 - Enable parallel hotplug for RISC-V

 - Optimize vector regset allocation for ptrace()

 - Add a kernel selftest for the vector ptrace interface

 - Enable the userspace RAID6 test to build and run using RISC-V vectors

 - Add initial support for the Zalasr RISC-V ratified ISA extension

 - For the Zicbop RISC-V ratified ISA extension to userspace, expose
   hardware and kernel support to userspace and add a kselftest for
   Zicbop

 - Convert open-coded instances of 'asm goto's that are controlled by
   runtime ALTERNATIVEs to use riscv_has_extension_{un,}likely(),
   following arm64's alternative_has_cap_{un,}likely()

 - Remove an unnecessary mask in the GFP flags used in some calls to
   pagetable_alloc()

raid6: riscv: Allow code to be compiled in userspace

2025-11-19T16:19:28+00:00

To support userspace raid6test, this patch adds __KERNEL__ ifdef for kernel
header inclusions also userspace wrapper definitions to allow code to be
compiled in userspace.

This patch also drops the NSIZE macro, instead of using the vector length,
which can work for both kernel and user space.

raid6: Move to more abstract 'ksimd' guard API

2025-11-12T08:52:01+00:00

Move away from calling kernel_neon_begin() and kernel_neon_end()
directly, and instead, use the newly introduced scoped_ksimd() API. This
permits arm64 to modify the kernel mode NEON API without affecting code
that is shared between ARM and arm64.
