Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.

write-back cache in degraded mode introduces corner cases to the array.
Although we try to cover all these corner cases, it is safer to just
disable write-back cache when the array is in degraded mode.
In this patch, we disable writeback cache for degraded mode:
1. On device failure, if the array enters degraded mode, raid5_error()
will submit async job r5c_disable_writeback_async to disable
writeback;
2. In r5c_journal_mode_store(), it is invalid to enable writeback in
degraded mode;
3. In r5c_try_caching_write(), stripes with s->failed>0 will be handled
in write-through mode.

Write back cache requires a complex RMW mechanism, where old data is
read into dev->orig_page for prexor, and then xor is done with
dev->page. This logic is already implemented in the write path.
However, current read path is not awared of this requirement. When
the array is optimal, the RMW is not required, as the data are
read from raid disks. However, when the target stripe is degraded,
complex RMW is required to generate right data.
To keep read path as clean as possible, we handle read path by
flushing degraded, in-journal stripes before processing reads to
missing dev.
Specifically, when there is read requests to a degraded stripe
with data in journal, handle_stripe_fill() calls
r5c_make_stripe_write_out() and exits. Then handle_stripe_dirtying()
will do the complex RMW and flush the stripe to RAID disks. After
that, read requests are handled.
There is one more corner case when there is non-overwrite bio for
the missing (or out of sync) dev. handle_stripe_dirtying() will not
be able to process the non-overwrite bios without constructing the
data in handle_stripe_fill(). This is fixed by delaying non-overwrite
bios in handle_stripe_dirtying(). So handle_stripe_fill() works on
these bios after the stripe is flushed to raid disks.

For safer operation, all arrays start in write-through mode, which has been
better tested and is more mature. And actually the write-through/write-mode
isn't persistent after array restarted, so we always start array in
write-through mode. However, if recovery found data-only stripes before the
shutdown (from previous write-back mode), it is not safe to start the array in
write-through mode, as write-through mode can not handle stripes with data in
write-back cache. To solve this problem, we flush all data-only stripes in
r5l_recovery_log(). When r5l_recovery_log() returns, the array starts with
empty cache in write-through mode.
This logic is implemented in r5c_recovery_flush_data_only_stripes():
1. enable write back cache
2. flush all stripes
3. wake up conf->mddev->thread
4. wait for all stripes get flushed (reuse wait_for_quiescent)
5. disable write back cache
The wait in 4 will be waked up in release_inactive_stripe_list()
when conf->active_stripes reaches 0.
It is safe to wake up mddev->thread here because all the resource
required for the thread has been initialized.

With write back cache, we use orig_page to do prexor. This patch
makes sure we read data into orig_page for it.
Flag R5_OrigPageUPTDODATE is added to show whether orig_page
has the latest data from raid disk.
We introduce a helper function uptodate_for_rmw() to simplify
the a couple conditions in handle_stripe_dirtying().

"This time we got a few more fixes than the previous rc's, and most of
commits were about ASoC.
The only significant change in the core side is the regression fix wrt
the aux device list handling, and all the rest are driver-specific
small / trivial fixes"

the componentization refactoring.

- revert the change to make the resource table read-only. As the

must be shared with the remote"

Commit 99579ccec4e2 "xfs: skip dirty pages in ->releasepage()" started
to skip dirty pages in xfs_vm_releasepage() which also has the effect
that if a dirty page is truncated, it does not get freed by
block_invalidatepage() and is lingering in LRU list waiting for reclaim.
So a simple loop like:
while true; do
dd if=/dev/zero of=file bs=1M count=100
rm file
done
will keep using more and more memory until we hit low watermarks and
start pagecache reclaim which will eventually reclaim also the truncate
pages. Keeping these truncated (and thus never usable) pages in memory
is just a waste of memory, is unnecessarily stressing page cache
reclaim, and reportedly also leads to anonymous mmap(2) returning ENOMEM
prematurely.
So instead of just skipping dirty pages in xfs_vm_releasepage(), return
to old behavior of skipping them only if they have delalloc or unwritten
buffers and fix the spurious warnings by warning only if the page is
clean.

Plantronics BT600 does not support reading the sample rate which leads
to many lines of "cannot get freq at ep 0x1" and "cannot get freq at
ep 0x82". This patch adds the USB ID of the BT600 to quirks.c and
avoids those error messages.
