* [atomic patchset](https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20250421164221.1121805-1-boqun.feng@gmail.com/) needs some reviews.
  + By the way, https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/core/sync/atomic/type.Atomic.html just landed for 1.88.
  + make `barrier()` private at the start -> Boqun
  + naming: Add doc alias -> Boqun (Miguel: send the docs note, mention to bitmap; Alice: also for the `strncpy` series)
      + load(), store() (in C read() + set())
      + xchg()
      + cmpxchg()

* Also the [percpu patchset](https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20250414-rust-percpu-v2-0-5ea0d0de13a5@gmail.com/).

* [`Refcount` patchset](https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20250219201602.1898383-1-gary@garyguo.net/), there is a report by 0day: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/87ecxa2guu.fsf@kernel.org/
  * Boqun: if Gary can set a respin with the report included, and we have enough review, boqun would try to take that via tip.
