The commit 91d2a812dfb9 ("locking/rwsem: Make handoff writer
optimistically spin on owner") will allow a recently woken up waiting
writer to spin on the owner. Unfortunately, if the owner happens to be
RWSEM_OWNER_UNKNOWN, the code will incorrectly spin on it leading to a
kernel crash. This is fixed by passing the proper non-spinnable bits
to rwsem_spin_on_owner() so that RWSEM_OWNER_UNKNOWN will be treated
as a non-spinnable target.

Waived tests
------------
If the test run included waived tests, they are marked with 🚧. Such tests are
executed but their results are not taken into account. Tests are waived when
their results are not reliable enough, e.g. when they're just introduced or are
being fixed.
Testing timeout
---------------
We aim to provide a report within reasonable timeframe. Tests that haven't
finished running are marked with ⏱. Reports for non-upstream kernels have
a Beaker recipe linked to next to each host.

Subject: staging: comedi: ni_routes: allow partial routing information
This patch fixes a regression on setting up asynchronous commands to use
external trigger sources when board-specific routing information is
missing.
`ni_find_device_routes()` (called via `ni_assign_device_routes()`) finds
the table of register values for the device family and the set of valid
routes for the specific board. If both are found,
`tables->route_values` is set to point to the table of register values
for the device family and `tables->valid_routes` is set to point to the
list of valid routes for the specific board. If either is not found,
both `tables->route_values` and `tables->valid_routes` are left set at
their initial null values (initialized by `ni_assign_device_routes()`)
and the function returns `-ENODATA`.
Returning an error results in some routing functionality being disabled.
Unfortunately, leaving `table->route_values` set to `NULL` also breaks
the setting up of asynchronous commands that are configured to use
external trigger sources. Calls to `ni_check_trigger_arg()` or
`ni_check_trigger_arg_roffs()` while checking the asynchronous command
set-up would result in a null pointer dereference if
`table->route_values` is `NULL`. The null pointer dereference is fixed
in another patch, but it now results in failure to set up the
asynchronous command. That is a regression from the behavior prior to
commit 347e244884c3 ("staging: comedi: tio: implement global tio/ctr
routing") and commit 56d0b826d39f ("staging: comedi: ni_mio_common:
implement new routing for TRIG_EXT").
Change `ni_find_device_routes()` to set `tables->route_values` and/or
`tables->valid_routes` to valid information even if the other one can
only be set to `NULL` due to missing information. The function will
still return an error in that case. This should result in
`tables->valid_routes` being valid for all currently supported device
families even if the board-specific routing information is missing.
That should be enough to fix the regression on setting up asynchronous
commands to use external triggers for boards with missing routing
information.

Subject: staging: comedi: ni_routes: fix null dereference in
ni_find_route_source()
In `ni_find_route_source()`, `tables->route_values` gets dereferenced.
However it is possible that `tables->route_values` is `NULL`, leading to
a null pointer dereference. `tables->route_values` will be `NULL` if
the call to `ni_assign_device_routes()` during board initialization
returned an error due to missing device family routing information or
missing board-specific routing information. For example, there is
currently no board-specific routing information provided for the
PCIe-6251 board and several other boards, so those are affected by this
bug.
The bug is triggered when `ni_find_route_source()` is called via
`ni_check_trigger_arg()` or `ni_check_trigger_arg_roffs()` when checking
the arguments for setting up asynchronous commands. Fix it by returning
`-EINVAL` if `tables->route_values` is `NULL`.
Even with this fix, setting up asynchronous commands to use external
trigger sources for boards with missing routing information will still
fail gracefully. Since `ni_find_route_source()` only depends on the
device family routing information, it would be better if that was made
available even if the board-specific routing information is missing.
That will be addressed by another patch.
