Merge tag 'gpio-fixes-for-v6.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brgl/linux
Pull gpio fixes from Bartosz Golaszewski:
"Some last-minute fixes for this release from the GPIO subsystem.
The first two address a regression in performance reported to me after
the conversion to using SRCU in GPIOLIB that was merged during the
v6.9 merge window. The second patch is not technically a fix but since
after the first one we no longer need to use a per-descriptor SRCU
struct, I think it's worth to simplify the code before it gets
released on Sunday.
The next two commits fix two memory issues: one use-after-free bug and
one instance of possibly leaking kernel stack memory to user-space.
Summary:
- fix a performance regression in GPIO requesting and releasing after
the conversion to SRCU
- fix a use-after-free bug due to a race-condition
- fix leaking stack memory to user-space in a GPIO uABI corner case"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
