Krzysztof Kozlowski authored
Various boot loaders for Exynos based boards use certain memory addresses during booting for different purposes. Mostly this is one of following : 1. as a CPU boot address, 2. for storing magic cookie related to low power mode (AFTR, sleep). The document, based solely on kernel source code, tries to group the information scattered over different files. This would help in the future when adding support for new SoC or when extending features related to low power modes.

The current documentation is incomplete wrt the intel_pstate legacy internal governors. The confusion comes from the general cpufreq governors which also use the names performance and powersave. This patch better differentiates between the two sets of governors and gives an explanation of how the internal P-state governors behave differently from one another. Also fix two minor typos.

Current documentation over use case for EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() only acknowledges functions which are "an internal implementation issue, and not really an interface". In practice these days though we have some maintainers taking on preferences to require all new functionality go in with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(). A maintainer asking developers to use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for new functionality tends to be a well accepted and understood position that maintainers can take and typically requires the maintainers educating contributing developers on their own positions and requirements. Developers who submit code to maintainers not familiar with these preferences as optional for new functionality need explicit guidence though as existing documentation does not acknowledge this as a valid possibility. Without this being documented some maintainers are reluctant to accept new functionality with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(). This extends the use case documentation for EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() to acknowledge acceptance for new functionality. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

Clearly specify that "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" is strongly preferred so that developers understand that the other options should only be used when absolutely required. Also specify how upstream commit ids should be referenced in patches submitted directly to stable (I gathered this from looking at the stable archives), and specify that any modified patches for stable should be clearly documented in the patch description.

While trying to test a Cinterion GSM/GPS/3G module I had reconfigured the USB interface by mistake and therefore needed to run a different USB driver than CDC-ACM. It turned out that I need the "usbserial" driver. This file is an official description how to use it: Documentation/usb/usb-serial.txt But it is outdated. The parameters vendor= and product= have been superseded by a /sys interface. Here was the solution: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=175499 insmod usbserial vendor=0x#### product=0x#### becomes (first #### is vendor, second is product) modprobe usbserial echo #### #### >/sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/generic/new_id This patch changes the documentation file to describe the modern variant. Please note that the old one still works (if compiled as module). Signed-off-by: H.

The estimate of necessary transaction credits in ext4_flex_group_add() is too pessimistic. It reserves credit for sb, resize inode, and resize inode dindirect block for each group added in a flex group although they are always the same block and thus it is enough to account them only once. Also the number of modified GDT block is overestimated since we fit EXT4_DESC_PER_BLOCK(sb) descriptors in one block. Make the estimation more precise. That reduces number of requested credits enough that we can grow 20 MB filesystem (which has 1 MB journal, 79 reserved GDT blocks, and flex group size 16 by default).

Currently it is possible to lose whole file system block worth of data when we hit the specific interaction with unwritten and delayed extents in status extent tree. The problem is that when we insert delayed extent into extent status tree the only way to get rid of it is when we write out delayed buffer. However there is a limitation in the extent status tree implementation so that when inserting unwritten extent should there be even a single delayed block the whole unwritten extent would be marked as delayed. At this point, there is no way to get rid of the delayed extents, because there are no delayed buffers to write out. So when a we write into said unwritten extent we will convert it to written, but it still remains delayed. When we try to write into that block later ext4_da_map_blocks() will set the buffer new and delayed and map it to invalid block which causes the rest of the block to be zeroed loosing already written data. For now we can fix this by simply not allowing to set delayed status on written extent in the extent status tree. Also add WARN_ON() to make sure that we notice if this happens in the future. This problem can be easily reproduced by running the following xfs_io. xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 4096 2048" \ -c "falloc 0 131072" \ -c "pwrite -S 0xbb 65536 2048" \ -c "fsync" /mnt/test/fff echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xdd 67584 2048" /mnt/test/fff This can be theoretically also reproduced by at random by running fsx, but it's not very reliable, though on machines with bigger page size (like ppc) this can be seen more often (especially xfstest generic/127) Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
