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.

This appears to be a race between the unmount process, which frees the
CIL and waits for in-flight iclog IO; and the iclog IO completion. When
generic/475 runs, it starts fsstress in the background, waits a few
seconds, and substitutes a dm-error device to simulate a disk falling
out of a machine. If the fsstress encounters EIO on a pure data write,
it will exit but the filesystem will still be online.
The next thing the test does is unmount the filesystem, which tries to
clean the log, free the CIL, and wait for iclog IO completion. If an
iclog was being written when the dm-error switch occurred, it can race
with log unmounting as follows:
Thread 1 Thread 2
xfs_log_unmount
xfs_log_clean
xfs_log_quiesce
xlog_ioend_work
<observe error>
xlog_force_shutdown
test_and_set_bit(XLOG_IOERROR)
xfs_log_force
<log is shut down, nop>
xfs_log_umount_write
<log is shut down, nop>
xlog_dealloc_log
xlog_cil_destroy
<wait for iclogs>
spin_lock(&log->l_cilp->xc_push_lock)
<KABOOM>
Therefore, free the CIL after waiting for the iclogs to complete. I
/think/ this race has existed for quite a few years now, though I don't
remember the ~2014 era logging code well enough to know if it was a real
threat then or if the actual race was exposed only more recently.

On a system with a realtime volume and a 28k realtime extent,
generic/491 fails because the test opens a file on a frozen filesystem
and closing it causes xfs_release -> xfs_can_free_eofblocks to
mistakenly think that the the blocks of the realtime extent beyond EOF
are posteof blocks to be freed. Realtime extents cannot be partially
unmapped, so this is pointless. Worse yet, this triggers posteof
cleanup, which stalls on a transaction allocation, which is why the test
fails.
Teach the predicate to account for realtime extents properly.

Addition of vDSO support for parisc in kernel v5.18 suddenly broke glibc
signal testcases on a 32-bit kernel.
The trampoline code (sigtramp.S) which is mapped into userspace includes
an offset to the context data on the stack, which is used by gdb and
glibc to get access to registers.
In a 32-bit kernel we used by mistake the offset into the compat context
(which is valid on a 64-bit kernel only) instead of the offset into the
"native" 32-bit context.

Now that we've established (again!) that empty xattr leaf buffers are
ok, we no longer need to bhold them to transactions when we're creating
new leaf blocks. Get rid of the entire mechanism, which should simplify
the xattr code quite a bit.
The original justification for using bhold here was to prevent the AIL
from trying to write the empty leaf block into the fs during the brief
time that we release the buffer lock. The reason for /that/ was to
prevent recovery from tripping over the empty ondisk block.

When it synthesize various task events, it scans the list of task

Instead of bailing out, we can ignore that thread and move on.
