Just a bit of drive-by OCD. All the other property docs use enumerations,
for some nice visual consistency. It also neatly highlights the property
name.

<title>drm/atomic-helper: Make zpos property kerneldoc less misleading</title>

<content type='text'>
kerneldoc for drm_plane_create_zpos_property() says that the DRM core
will automatically calculate the normalized zpos values, but it doesn't
actually do that anymore since commit 38d868e41c4b ("drm: Don't force
all planes to be added to the state due to zpos"). Instead, drivers are
supposed to explicitly call the drm_atomic_normalize_zpos() function.
Change the kerneldoc comment to reflect that.

v2: reference the commit that introduced the kerneldoc unclarity

<title>mm: treewide: remove GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0ee931c4e31a5efb134c76440405e9219f896e33</id>
<content type='text'>
GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8ff3 ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE.  It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation.  As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag.  How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.

The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory.  So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.

I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification.  I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring.  This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.

I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse.  Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL.  Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.

I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.

This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic.  It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users.  The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers.  So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

<title>drm: Add DRM_MODE_ROTATE_ and DRM_MODE_REFLECT_ to UAPI</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c2c446ad29437bb92b157423c632286608ebd3ec</id>
<content type='text'>
Add DRM_MODE_ROTATE_ and DRM_MODE_REFLECT_ defines to the UAPI
as a convenience.

Ideally the DRM_ROTATE_ and DRM_REFLECT_ property ids are looked up
through the atomic API, but realizing that userspace is likely to take
shortcuts and assume that the enum values are what is sent over the
wire.

As a result these defines are provided purely as a convenience to
userspace applications.

Changes since v3:
 - Switched away from past tense in comments
 - Add define name change to previously mis-spelled DRM_REFLECT_X comment
 - Improved the comment for the DRM_MODE_REFLECT_&lt;axis&gt; comment

Changes since v2:
 - Changed define prefix from DRM_MODE_PROP_ to DRM_MODE_
 - Fix compilation errors
 - Changed comment formatting
 - Deduplicated comment lines
 - Clarified DRM_MODE_PROP_REFLECT_ comment

Changes since v1:
 - Moved defines from drm.h to drm_mode.h
 - Changed define prefix from DRM_ to DRM_MODE_PROP_
 - Updated uses of the defines to the new prefix
 - Removed include from drm_rect.c
 - Stopped using the BIT() macro

<content type='text'>
There are new iterator macros that annotate whether the new or old
state should be used. This is better than using a state that depends on
whether it's called before or after swap. For clarity, also rename the
variables from $obj_state to (old,new)_$obj_state as well.

<content type='text'>
This is a straightforward conversion that converts all the users of
get_existing_state in atomic core to use get_old_state or get_new_state

Changes since v1:
- Fix using the wrong state in drm_atomic_helper_update_legacy_modeset_state.
Changes since v2:
- Use the correct state in disable_outputs()
Changes since v3:
- Rebase for link status training.

<content type='text'>
I just learned that &amp;struct_name.member_name works and looks pretty
even. It doesn't (yet) link to the member directly though, which would
be really good for big structures or vfunc tables (where the
per-member kerneldoc tends to be long).

Also some minor drive-by polish where it makes sense, I read a lot
of docs ...

v2: Review from Eric.

Not all planes on the system may support the same rotations/reflections,
so make it possible to create a separate property for each plane.
This way userspace gets told exactly which rotations/reflections are
possible for each plane.
