Add the full text of the copyleft-next-0.3.1 license to the kernel
tree as well as the required tags for reference and tooling.
The license text was copied directly from the copyleft-next project's
git tree [0].
Discussion of using copyleft-next-0.3.1 on Linux started since June,
2016 [1]. In the end Linus' preference was to have drivers use
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") to make it clear that the GPL applies when it
comes to Linux [2]. Additionally, even though copyleft-next-0.3.1 has
been found to be to be GPLv2 compatible by three attorneys at SUSE and
Redhat [3], to err on the side of caution we simply recommend to
always use the "OR" language for this license [4].
Even though it has been a goal of the project to be GPL-v2 compatible
to be certain in 2016 I asked for a clarification about what makes
copyleft-next GPLv2 compatible and also asked for a summary of
benefits. This prompted some small minor changes to make compatibility
even further clear and as of copyleft 0.3.1 compatibility should
be crystal clear [5].
The summary of why copyleft-next 0.3.1 is compatible with GPLv2
is explained as follows:
Like GPLv2, copyleft-next requires distribution of derivative works
("Derived Works" in copyleft-next 0.3.x) to be under the same license.
Ordinarily this would make the two licenses incompatible. However,
copyleft-next 0.3.1 says: "If the Derived Work includes material
licensed under the GPL, You may instead license the Derived Work under
the GPL." "GPL" is defined to include GPLv2.
In practice this means copyleft-next code in Linux may be licensed
under the GPL2, however there are additional obvious gains for
bringing contributions from Linux outbound where copyleft-next is
preferred. A summary of benefits why projects outside of Linux might
prefer to use copyleft-next >= 0.3.1 over GPLv2:
o It is much shorter and simpler
o It has an explicit patent license grant, unlike GPLv2
o Its notice preservation conditions are clearer
o More free software/open source licenses are compatible
with it (via section 4)
o The source code requirement triggered by binary distribution
is much simpler in a procedural sense
o Recipients potentially have a contract claim against distributors
who are noncompliant with the source code requirement
o There is a built-in inbound=outbound policy for upstream
contributions (cf. Apache License 2.0 section 5)
o There are disincentives to engage in the controversial practice
of copyleft/ proprietary dual-licensing
o In 15 years copyleft expires, which can be advantageous
for legacy code
o There are explicit disincentives to bringing patent infringement
claims accusing the licensed work of infringement (see 10b)
o There is a cure period for licensees who are not compliant
with the license (there is no cure opportunity in GPLv2)
o copyleft-next has a 'built-in or-later' provision
The first driver submission to Linux under this dual strategy was
lib/test_sysctl.c through commit 9308f2f9e7 ("test_sysctl: add
dedicated proc sysctl test driver") merged in July 2017. Shortly after
that I also added test_kmod through commit d9c6a72d6f ("kmod: add
test driver to stress test the module loader") in the same month. These
two drivers went in just a few months before the SPDX license practice
kicked in. In 2018 Kuno Woudt went through the process to get SPDX
identifiers for copyleft-next [6] [7]. Although there are SPDX tags
for copyleft-next-0.3.0, we only document use in Linux starting from
copyleft-next-0.3.1 which makes GPLv2 compatibility crystal clear.
This patch will let us update the two Linux selftest drivers in
subsequent patches with their respective SPDX license identifiers and
let us remove repetitive license boiler plate.

Pull cxl fixes from Dan Williams:
"Several fixes for CXL region creation crashes, leaks and failures.
This is mainly fallout from the original implementation of dynamic CXL
region creation (instantiate new physical memory pools) that arrived
in v6.0-rc1.
Given the theme of "failures in the presence of pass-through decoders"
this also includes new regression test infrastructure for that case.
Summary:
- Fix region creation crash with pass-through decoders
- Fix region creation crash when no decoder allocation fails
- Fix region creation crash when scanning regions to enforce the
increasing physical address order constraint that CXL mandates
- Fix a memory leak for cxl_pmem_region objects, track 1:N instead of
1:1 memory-device-to-region associations.
- Fix a memory leak for cxl_region objects when regions with active
targets are deleted
- Fix assignment of NUMA nodes to CXL regions by CFMWS (CXL Window)
emulated proximity domains.
- Fix region creation failure for switch attached devices downstream
of a single-port host-bridge
- Fix false positive memory leak of cxl_region objects by recycling
recently used region ids rather than freeing them
- Add regression test infrastructure for a pass-through decoder
configuration
- Fix some mailbox payload handling corner cases"

The return value is wrong in ext4_load_and_init_journal(). The local
variable 'err' need to be initialized before goto out. The original code
in __ext4_fill_super() is fine because it has two return values 'ret'
and 'err' and 'ret' is initialized as -EINVAL. After we factor out
ext4_load_and_init_journal(), this code is broken. So fix it by directly
returning -EINVAL in the error handler path.
