We appear to have a gap in our process docs. We go into detail on how to contribute code to the kernel, and how to be a subsystem maintainer. I can't find any docs directed towards the thousands of small scale maintainers, like folks maintaining a single driver or a single network protocol. Document our expectations and best practices. I'm hoping this doc will be particularly useful to set expectations with HW vendors. Reviewed-by:

Commit 0795e7c0 ("[AFS]: Update the AFS fs documentation.") adds a new section listing the build configuration options that need to be enabled for the AFS file system. The documentation refers to CONFIG_AFS, but the option is called CONFIG_AFS_FS, since the beginning of Linux's git history. Refer to the config option with the correct name. Signed-off-by:

The differences between kmap_local_page() and kmap_local_folio() consist only in the first taking a pointer to a page and the second taking two arguments, a pointer to a folio and the byte offset within the folio which identifies the page. The two API's can be explained at the same time in the "Temporary Virtual Mappings" section of the Highmem's documentation. Add information about kmap_local_folio() in the same subsection that explains kmap_local_page(). Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by:

We just sorted the entries and fields last release, so just out of a perverse sense of curiosity, I decided to see if we can keep things ordered for even just one release. The answer is "No. No we cannot". I suggest that all kernel developers will need weekly training sessions, involving a lot of Big Bird and Sesame Street. And at the yearly maintainer summit, we will all sing the alphabet song together. I doubt I will keep doing this. At some point "perverse sense of curiosity" turns into just a cold dark place filled with sadness and despair. Repeats: 80e62bc8 ("MAINTAINERS: re-sort all entries and fields") Signed-off-by:

Suren Baghdasaryan authored
When forking a child process, the parent write-protects anonymous pages and COW-shares them with the child being forked using copy_present_pte(). We must not take any concurrent page faults on the source vma's as they are being processed, as we expect both the vma and the pte's behind it to be stable. For example, the anon_vma_fork() expects the parents vma->anon_vma to not change during the vma copy. A concurrent page fault on a page newly marked read-only by the page copy might trigger wp_page_copy() and a anon_vma_prepare(vma) on the source vma, defeating the anon_vma_clone() that wasn't done because the parent vma originally didn't have an anon_vma, but we now might end up copying a pte entry for a page that has one. Before the per-vma lock based changes, the mmap_lock guaranteed exclusion with concurrent page faults. But now we need to do a vma_start_write() to make sure no concurrent faults happen on this vma while it is being processed. This fix can potentially regress some fork-heavy workloads. Kernel build time did not show noticeable regression on a 56-core machine while a stress test mapping 10000 VMAs and forking 5000 times in a tight loop shows ~5% regression. If such fork time regression is unacceptable, disabling CONFIG_PER_VMA_LOCK should restore its performance. Further optimizations are possible if this regression proves to be problematic.

mmap_region adds a newly created VMA into VMA tree and might modify it afterwards before dropping the mmap_lock. This poses a problem for page faults handled under per-VMA locks because they don't take the mmap_lock and can stumble on this VMA while it's still being modified. Currently this does not pose a problem since post-addition modifications are done only for file-backed VMAs, which are not handled under per-VMA lock. However, once support for handling file-backed page faults with per-VMA locks is added, this will become a race. Fix this by write-locking the VMA before inserting it into the VMA tree. Other places where a new VMA is added into VMA tree do not modify it after the insertion, so do not need the same locking. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:
