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 io_uring followup fixes from Jens Axboe:
- The SIGSTOP change from Eric, so we properly ignore that for
PF_IO_WORKER threads.
- Disallow sending signals to PF_IO_WORKER threads in general, we're
not interested in having them funnel back to the io_uring owning
task.
- Stable fix from Stefan, ensuring we properly break links for short
send/sendmsg recv/recvmsg if MSG_WAITALL is set.
- Catch and loop when needing to run task_work before a PF_IO_WORKER
threads goes to sleep.
* tag 'io_uring-5.12-2021-03-21' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:

- comedi driver fixes to get request_irq() to work correctly
- counter driver fixes for reported issues with iio devices
- tiny iio driver fixes for reported issues.

iio: hid-sensor-prox: Fix scale not correct issue
iio:adc:qcom-spmi-vadc: add default scale to LR_MUX2_BAT_ID channel
Without that it's not safe to use them in a linked combination with
others.
Now combinations like IORING_OP_SENDMSG followed by IORING_OP_SPLICE
should be possible.
We already handle short reads and writes for the following opcodes:
- IORING_OP_READV
- IORING_OP_READ_FIXED
- IORING_OP_READ
- IORING_OP_WRITEV
- IORING_OP_WRITE_FIXED
- IORING_OP_WRITE
- IORING_OP_SPLICE
- IORING_OP_TEE
Now we have it for these as well:
- IORING_OP_SENDMSG
- IORING_OP_SEND
- IORING_OP_RECVMSG
- IORING_OP_RECV
For IORING_OP_RECVMSG we also check for the MSG_TRUNC and MSG_CTRUNC
flags in order to call req_set_fail_links().
There might be applications arround depending on the behavior
that even short send[msg]()/recv[msg]() retuns continue an
IOSQE_IO_LINK chain.
It's very unlikely that such applications pass in MSG_WAITALL,
which is only defined in 'man 2 recvmsg', but not in 'man 2 sendmsg'.
It's expected that the low level sock_sendmsg() call just ignores
MSG_WAITALL, as MSG_ZEROCOPY is also ignored without explicitly set
SO_ZEROCOPY.
We also expect the caller to know about the implicit truncation to
MAX_RW_COUNT, which we don't detect.

this requires any encapsulating struct to also have an alignment of 2.

Mark the current task as running if we need to run task_work from the
io-wq threads as part of work handling. If that is the case, then return
as such so that the caller can appropriately loop back and reset if it
was part of a going-to-sleep flush.

This patch adds rename whiteout support in fast commits. Note that the
whiteout object that gets created is actually char device. Which
imples, the function ext4_inode_journal_mode(struct inode *inode)
would return "JOURNAL_DATA" for this inode. This has a consequence in
fast commit code that it will make creation of the whiteout object a
fast-commit ineligible behavior and thus will fall back to full
commits. With this patch, this can be observed by running fast commits
with rename whiteout and seeing the stats generated by ext4_fc_stats
tracepoint as follows:
ext4_fc_stats: dev 254:32 fc ineligible reasons:
XATTR:0, CROSS_RENAME:0, JOURNAL_FLAG_CHANGE:0, NO_MEM:0, SWAP_BOOT:0,
RESIZE:0, RENAME_DIR:0, FALLOC_RANGE:0, INODE_JOURNAL_DATA:16;
num_commits:6, ineligible: 6, numblks: 3
So in short, this patch guarantees that in case of rename whiteout, we
fall back to full commits.
Amir mentioned that instead of creating a new whiteout object for
every rename, we can create a static whiteout object with irrelevant
nlink. That will make fast commits to not fall back to full
commit. But until this happens, this patch will ensure correctness by
falling back to full commits.

Pull irq fix from Ingo Molnar:
"A change to robustify force-threaded IRQ handlers to always disable
interrupts, plus a DocBook fix.
The force-threaded IRQ handler change has been accelerated from the
normal schedule of such a change to keep the bad pattern/workaround of
spin_lock_irqsave() in handlers or IRQF_NOTHREAD as a kludge from
spreading"

When port partner responds "Not supported" to the DiscIdentity command,
VDM state machine can remain in NVDM_STATE_ERR_TMOUT and this causes
querying sink cap to be skipped indefinitely. Hence check for
vdm_sm_running instead of checking for VDM_STATE_DONE.

request_irq() wont accept a name which contains slash so we need to
repalce it with something else -- otherwise it will trigger a warning
and the entry in /proc/irq/ will not be created
since the .name might be used by userspace and we don't want to break
userspace, so we are changing the parameters passed to request_irq()
