I'm getting a pile of build errors from this patchset (and related patches). Due to messed up merge fixing, probably. Please the review process has been a bit bumpy. So I'll drop kasan-allow-kasan_check_read-write-to-accept-pointers-to-volatiles.patch asm-generic-x86-wrap-atomic-operations.patch asm-generic-x86-wrap-atomic-operations-fix.patch asm-generic-add-kasan-instrumentation-to-atomic-operations.patch asm-generic-fix-compilation-failure-in-cmpxchg_double.patch x86-remove-unused-atomic_inc_short.patch x86-asm-generic-add-kasan-instrumentation-to-bitops.patch for now. Please resend (against -mm or linux-next) when the dust has settled.
