Docs/translations/ko_KR: remove memory-barriers
The memory-barriers.txt Korean translation is quite outdated. The last
update on the translation was made on 2022-10-10, by commit ee5a86f451f7
("docs/memory-barriers.txt/kokr: Fix confusing name of 'data dependency
barrier'"). After the date, the original memory-barriers.txt got seven
more changes so far. The most recent one was made on 2025-11-05. But
none of those are applied to the translation.
Maybe I can work again on keeping it updated. But, given the
advancement of translation tools, I think it might not be worth keeping
it at all. Remove the outdated translation.
If it turns out to be worthy to keep the translation and someone willing
to keep it updated steps up, this could be reverted.
This change was inspired from the last kernel summit discussion [1].

docs: process: email-client: add Thunderbird "Toggle Line Wrap" extension
While reading the git-format-patch manpages [1], I discovered the existence
of the "Toggle Line Wrap" extension for Thunderbird which I found rather
convenient.
Looking at the history, the ancestor of this extension was added to the
documentation in commit e0e34e977a7c ("Documentation/email-clients.txt:
update Thunderbird docs with wordwrap plugin") but then removed in commit f9a0974d3f70 ("Documentation: update thunderbird email client settings").
Extend the paragraph on Thunderbird's mailnews.wraplength register to
mention the existence of the "Toggle Line Wrap" extension. The goal is not
to create a war on what is the best option so make it clear that this is
just an alternative.

- patch 3: document two media vars;
- patch 4: fix an issue on kernel-doc.rst markups and automarkup;
- patch 5: document it;
- patch 6: better handle DEFINE_ macros when they don't have static/type;
Since version 5, I'm using "c:macro" to describe variables, as it
avoids Sphinx C domain to try parse the variable. This makes it more
flexible and easier to maintain in long term.
kernel-doc: add support for handling global variables
Specially on kAPI, sometimes it is desirable to be able to
describe global variables that are part of kAPI.
Documenting vars with Sphinx is simple, as we don't need
to parse a data struct. All we need is the variable
declaration and use native C domain ::c:var: to format it
for us.

Enhance the coccicheck script to filter *.cocci files based on the

"virtual rule report not supported"
This error occurs when a .cocci file does not define a 'virtual <MODE>'
rule, yet is executed in that mode.
For example:
make coccicheck M=drivers/hwtracing/coresight/ MODE=report
In this case, running "secs_to_jiffies.cocci" would trigger the error

Ideally synthetic events should be updated to work with perf, but as

When imported dma-bufs are destroyed, TTM is not fully
individualizing the dma-resv, but it *is* copying the fences that
need to be waited for before declaring idle. So in the case where
the bo->resv != bo->_resv we can still drop the preempt-fences, but
make sure we do that on bo->_resv which contains the fence-pointer
copy.
In the case where the copying fails, bo->_resv will typically not
contain any fences pointers at all, so there will be nothing to
drop. In that case, TTM would have ensured all fences that would
have been copied are signaled, including any remaining preempt
fences.

OAG_OAGLBCTXCTRL_COUNTER_RESUME must be set.

drm/xe: Adjust long-running workload timeslices to reasonable values
A 10ms timeslice for long-running workloads is far too long and causes
significant jitter in benchmarks when the system is shared. Adjust the
value to 5ms for preempt-fencing VMs, as the resume step there is quite
costly as memory is moved around, and set it to zero for pagefault VMs,
since switching back to pagefault mode after dma-fence mode is
relatively fast.
Also change min_run_period_ms to 'unsiged int' type rather than 's64' as
only positive values make sense.

drm/xe/oa: Limit num_syncs to prevent oversized allocations
The OA open parameters did not validate num_syncs, allowing
userspace to pass arbitrarily large values, potentially
leading to excessive allocations.
Add check to ensure that num_syncs does not exceed DRM_XE_MAX_SYNCS,
returning -EINVAL when the limit is violated.
v2: use XE_IOCTL_DBG() and drop duplicated check. (Ashutosh)

drm/xe: Limit num_syncs to prevent oversized allocations
The exec and vm_bind ioctl allow userspace to specify an arbitrary
num_syncs value. Without bounds checking, a very large num_syncs
can force an excessively large allocation, leading to kernel warnings
from the page allocator as below.
Introduce DRM_XE_MAX_SYNCS (set to 1024) and reject any request
exceeding this limit.
