Subject: [mainline]Warning while building tools/perf

Hello,


I am seeing a new build warning while building tools/perf on the 
mainline kernel, with base:

commit 02ddfb981de88a2c15621115dd7be2431252c568 (HEAD -> master, 
origin/master, origin/HEAD)
Merge: 30e268185e59 b0b7ee3b574a
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>
Date:   Thu Apr 24 13:01:31 2025 -0700

     Merge tag 'scsi-fixes' of 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi

     Pull SCSI fixes from James Bottomley:
      "The single core change is an obvious bug fix (and falls within the LF
       guidelines for patches from sanctioned entities). The other driver
       changes are a bit larger but likewise pretty obvious"

     * tag 'scsi-fixes' of 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi:
       scsi: mpi3mr: Add level check to control event logging
       scsi: ufs: core: Add NULL check in 
ufshcd_mcq_compl_pending_transfer()
       scsi: core: Clear flags for scsi_cmnd that did not complete
       scsi: ufs: Introduce quirk to extend PA_HIBERN8TIME for UFS devices
       scsi: ufs: qcom: Add quirks for Samsung UFS devices
       scsi: target: iscsi: Fix timeout on deleted connection
       scsi: mpi3mr: Reset the pending interrupt flag
       scsi: mpi3mr: Fix pending I/O counter
       scsi: ufs: mcq: Add NULL check in ufshcd_mcq_abort()


Git Bisect is pointing to below commit as first bad commit.


a940e0a685575424d33324ec7f0089045249de0a is the first bad commit

     vhost: fix VHOST_*_OWNER documentation

     VHOST_OWNER_SET and VHOST_OWNER_RESET are used in the documentation
     instead of VHOST_SET_OWNER and VHOST_RESET_OWNER respectively.

     To avoid confusion, let's use the right names in the documentation.
     No change to the API, only the documentation is involved.
