The `insn_rw_emulate_bits()` function is used as a default handler for
`INSN_READ` instructions for subdevices that have a handler for
`INSN_BITS` but not for `INSN_READ`. Similarly, it is used as a default
handler for `INSN_WRITE` instructions for subdevices that have a handler
for `INSN_BITS` but not for `INSN_WRITE`. It works by emulating the
`INSN_READ` or `INSN_WRITE` instruction handling with a constructed
`INSN_BITS` instruction. However, `INSN_READ` and `INSN_WRITE`
instructions are supposed to be able read or write multiple samples,
indicated by the `insn->n` value, but `insn_rw_emulate_bits()` currently
only handles a single sample. For `INSN_READ`, the comedi core will
copy `insn->n` samples back to user-space. (That triggered KASAN
kernel-infoleak errors when `insn->n` was greater than 1, but that is
being fixed more generally elsewhere in the comedi core.)
Make `insn_rw_emulate_bits()` either handle `insn->n` samples, or return
an error, to conform to the general expectation for `INSN_READ` and
`INSN_WRITE` handlers.

Here is the big set of char/misc/iio and other smaller driver subsystems
for 6.17-rc1. It's a big set this time around, with the huge majority
being in the iio subsystem with new drivers and dts files being added
there.
Highlights include:
- IIO driver updates, additions, and changes making more code const
and cleaning up some init logic
- bus_type constant conversion changes
- misc device test functions added
- rust miscdevice minor fixup
- unused function removals for some drivers
- mei driver updates
- mhi driver updates
- interconnect driver updates
- Android binder updates and test infrastructure added
- small cdx driver updates
- small comedi fixes
- small nvmem driver updates
- small pps driver updates
- some acrn virt driver fixes for printk messages
- other small driver updates
All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues.

syzbot reports a use-after-free in comedi in the below link, which is
due to comedi gladly removing the allocated async area even though poll
requests are still active on the wait_queue_head inside of it. This can
cause a use-after-free when the poll entries are later triggered or
removed, as the memory for the wait_queue_head has been freed. We need
to check there are no tasks queued on any of the subdevices' wait queues
before allowing the device to be detached by the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG`
ioctl.
Tasks will read-lock `dev->attach_lock` before adding themselves to the
subdevice wait queue, so fix the problem in the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl
handler by write-locking `dev->attach_lock` before checking that all of
the subdevices are safe to be deleted. This includes testing for any
sleepers on the subdevices' wait queues. It remains locked until the
device has been detached. This requires the `comedi_device_detach()`
function to be refactored slightly, moving the bulk of it into new
function `comedi_device_detach_locked()`.
Note that the refactor of `comedi_device_detach()` results in
`comedi_device_cancel_all()` now being called while `dev->attach_lock`
is write-locked, which wasn't the case previously, but that does not
matter.
Thanks to Jens Axboe for diagnosing the problem and co-developing this
patch.

For Comedi `INSN_READ` and `INSN_WRITE` instructions on "digital"
subdevices (subdevice types `COMEDI_SUBD_DI`, `COMEDI_SUBD_DO`, and
`COMEDI_SUBD_DIO`), it is common for the subdevice driver not to have
`insn_read` and `insn_write` handler functions, but to have an
`insn_bits` handler function for handling Comedi `INSN_BITS`
instructions. In that case, the subdevice's `insn_read` and/or
`insn_write` function handler pointers are set to point to the
`insn_rw_emulate_bits()` function by `__comedi_device_postconfig()`.
For `INSN_WRITE`, `insn_rw_emulate_bits()` currently assumes that the
supplied `data[0]` value is a valid copy from user memory. It will at
least exist because `do_insnlist_ioctl()` and `do_insn_ioctl()` in
"comedi_fops.c" ensure at lease `MIN_SAMPLES` (16) elements are
allocated. However, if `insn->n` is 0 (which is allowable for
`INSN_READ` and `INSN_WRITE` instructions, then `data[0]` may contain
uninitialized data, and certainly contains invalid data, possibly from a
different instruction in the array of instructions handled by
`do_insnlist_ioctl()`. This will result in an incorrect value being
written to the digital output channel (or to the digital input/output
channel if configured as an output), and may be reflected in the
internal saved state of the channel.
Fix it by returning 0 early if `insn->n` is 0, before reaching the code
that accesses `data[0]`. Previously, the function always returned 1 on
success, but it is supposed to be the number of data samples actually
read or written up to `insn->n`, which is 0 in this case.

Correct some left shifts of the signed integer constant 1 by some
unsigned number less than 32. Change the constant to 1U to avoid
shifting a 1 into the sign bit.
The corrected functions are comedi_dio_insn_config(),
comedi_dio_update_state(), and __comedi_device_postconfig().

`comedi_8254_init()` and `comedi_8254_mm_init()` return `NULL` on
failure, but the failure is not necessarily due to lack of memory.
Change them to return an `ERR_PTR` value on failure and rename the
functions to make it obvious the API has changed. `comedi_8254_init()`
has been replaced with `comedi_8254_io_alloc()`, and
`comedi_8254_mm_init()` has been replaced with `comedi_8254_mm_alloc()`.

Move the main COMEDI driver headers out of "drivers/comedi/" into new
directory "include/linux/comedi/". These are "comedidev.h",
"comedilib.h", "comedi_pci.h", "comedi_pcmcia.h", and "comedi_usb.h".
Additionally, move the user-space API header "comedi.h" into
"include/uapi/linux/" and add "WITH Linux-syscall-note" to its
SPDX-License-Identifier.
Update the "COMEDI DRIVERS" section of the MAINTAINERS file to account
for these changes.

The comedi code came into the kernel back in 2008, but traces its
lifetime to much much earlier. It's been polished and buffed and
there's really nothing preventing it from being part of the "real"
portion of the kernel.
So move it to drivers/comedi/ as it belongs there.
Many thanks to the hundreds of developers who did the work to make this
happen.
