Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

Pull RISC-V fixes from Palmer Dabbelt:
- A fix for the K210 sdcard defconfig, to avoid using a
fixed delay for the root FS
- A fix to make sure there's a proper call frame for
trace_hardirqs_{on,off}().

riscv: fix oops caused by irqsoff latency tracer
riscv: fix nommu_k210_sdcard_defconfig
Running the memfd script ./run_hugetlbfs_test.sh will often end in error
as follows:
memfd-hugetlb: CREATE
memfd-hugetlb: BASIC
memfd-hugetlb: SEAL-WRITE
memfd-hugetlb: SEAL-FUTURE-WRITE
memfd-hugetlb: SEAL-SHRINK
fallocate(ALLOC) failed: No space left on device
./run_hugetlbfs_test.sh: line 60: 166855 Aborted (core dumped) ./memfd_test hugetlbfs
opening: ./mnt/memfd
fuse: DONE
If no hugetlb pages have been preallocated, run_hugetlbfs_test.sh will
allocate 'just enough' pages to run the test. In the SEAL-FUTURE-WRITE
test the mfd_fail_write routine maps the file, but does not unmap. As a
result, two hugetlb pages remain reserved for the mapping. When the
fallocate call in the SEAL-SHRINK test attempts allocate all hugetlb
pages, it is short by the two reserved pages.
Fix by making sure to unmap in mfd_fail_write.

Pull xfs fixes from Darrick Wong:
"Nothing exciting, just more fixes for not returning sync_filesystem
error values (and eliding it when it's not necessary).
Summary:
- Only call sync_filesystem when we're remounting the filesystem
readonly readonly, and actually check its return value"
* tag 'xfs-5.17-fixes-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux:
xfs: only bother with sync_filesystem during readonly remount
The trace_hardirqs_{on,off}() require the caller to setup frame pointer
properly. This because these two functions use macro 'CALLER_ADDR1' (aka.
__builtin_return_address(1)) to acquire caller info. If the $fp is used
for other purpose, the code generated this macro (as below) could trigger
memory access fault.

This because the $fp(aka. $s0) register is not used as frame pointer in the
assembly entry code.
resume_kernel:
REG_L s0, TASK_TI_PREEMPT_COUNT(tp)
bnez s0, restore_all
REG_L s0, TASK_TI_FLAGS(tp)
andi s0, s0, _TIF_NEED_RESCHED
beqz s0, restore_all
call preempt_schedule_irq
j restore_all
To fix above issue, here we add one extra level wrapper for function
trace_hardirqs_{on,off}() so they can be safely called by low level entry
code.

configfs: fix a race in configfs_{,un}register_subsystem()
In commit 02b9984d6408, we pushed a sync_filesystem() call from the VFS
into xfs_fs_remount. The only time that we ever need to push dirty file
data or metadata to disk for a remount is if we're remounting the
filesystem read only, so this really could be moved to xfs_remount_ro.
Once we've moved the call site, actually check the return value from
sync_filesystem.

The slab code has an overlap with kmem accounting, where Roman has done
a lot of work recently and it would be useful to make sure he's CC'd on
patches that potentially affect it. Thus add him as a reviewer for the
SLAB subsystem.
Also while at it, add the link to slab git tree.

Pull btrfs fixes from David Sterba:
"This is a hopefully last batch of fixes for defrag that got broken in
5.16, all stable material.
The remaining reported problem is excessive IO with autodefrag due to
various conditions in the defrag code not met or missing"
* tag 'for-5.17-rc5-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux:
btrfs: reduce extent threshold for autodefrag
btrfs: autodefrag: only scan one inode once
btrfs: defrag: don't use merged extent map for their generation check
btrfs: defrag: bring back the old file extent search behavior
btrfs: defrag: remove an ambiguous condition for rejection
btrfs: defrag: don't defrag extents which are already at max capacity
btrfs: defrag: don't try to merge regular extents with preallocated extents

btrfs: prevent copying too big compressed lzo segment
When configfs_register_subsystem() or configfs_unregister_subsystem()
is executing link_group() or unlink_group(),
it is possible that two processes add or delete list concurrently.
Some unfortunate interleavings of them can cause kernel panic.
One of cases is:
A --> B --> C --> D
A <-- B <-- C <-- D
delete list_head *B | delete list_head *C
--------------------------------|-----------------------------------
configfs_unregister_subsystem | configfs_unregister_subsystem
unlink_group | unlink_group
unlink_obj | unlink_obj
list_del_init | list_del_init
__list_del_entry | __list_del_entry
__list_del | __list_del
// next == C |
next->prev = prev |
| next->prev = prev
prev->next = next |
| // prev == B
| prev->next = next
Fix this by adding mutex when calling link_group() or unlink_group(),
but parent configfs_subsystem is NULL when config_item is root.
So I create a mutex configfs_subsystem_mutex.

Since we've started treating fallocate more like a file write, we
should flush the log to disk if the user has asked for synchronous
writes either by setting it via fcntl flags, or inode flags, or with
the sync mount option. We've already got a helper for this, so use
it.
