2019-11-25f2fs: expose main_blkaddr in sysfsJaegeuk Kim2-0/+9
Expose in /sys/fs/f2fs/<blockdev>/main_blkaddr the block address where the main area starts. This allows user mode programs to determine: - That pinned files that are made exclusively of fully allocated 2MB segments will never be unpinned by the file system. - Where the main area starts. This is required by programs that want to verify if a file is made exclusively of 2MB f2fs segments, the alignment boundary for segments starts at this address. Testing for 2MB alignment relative to the start of the device is incorrect, because for some filesystems main_blkaddr is not at a 2MB boundary relative to the start of the device. The entry will be used when validating reliable pinning file feature proposed by "f2fs: support aligned pinned file".

2019-11-25Maintainer Handbook: Maintainer Entry ProfileDan Williams2-0/+88
As presented at the 2018 Linux Plumbers conference [1], the Maintainer Entry Profile (formerly Subsystem Profile) is proposed as a way to reduce friction between committers and maintainers and encourage conversations amongst maintainers about common best practices. While coding-style, submit-checklist, and submitting-drivers lay out some common expectations there remain local customs and maintainer preferences that vary by subsystem. The profile contains documentation of some of the common policy questions a contributor might have that are local to the subsystem / device-driver, special considerations for the subsystem, or other guidelines that are otherwise not covered by the top-level process documents. The initial and hopefully non-controversial headings in the profile are: Overview: General introduction to how the subsystem operates Submit Checklist Addendum: Mechanical items that gate submission staging, or other requirements that gate patch acceptance. Key Cycle Dates: - Last -rc for new feature submissions: Expected lead time for submissions - Last -rc to merge features: Deadline for merge decisions Resubmit Cadence: When and preferred method to follow up with the maintainer Note that coding style guidelines are explicitly left out of this list. See Documentation/maintainer/maintainer-entry-profile.rst for more details, and a follow-on example profile for the libnvdimm subsystem.

Danit Goldberg says: ==================== This series extends RTNETLINK to provide IB port and node GUIDs, which were configured for Infiniband VFs. The functionality to set VF GUIDs already existed for a long time, and here we are adding the missing "get" so that netlink will be symmetric and various cloud orchestration tools will be able to manage such VFs more naturally. The iproute2 was extended too to present those GUIDs. - ip link show <device> For example: - ip link set ib4 vf 0 node_guid 22:44:33:00:33:11:00:33 - ip link set ib4 vf 0 port_guid 10:21:33:12:00:11:22:10 - ip link show ib4 ib4: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 4092 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 256 link/infiniband 00:00:0a:2d:fe:80:00:00:00:00:00:00:ec:0d:9a:03:00:44:36:8d brd 00:ff:ff:ff:ff:12:40:1b:ff:ff:00:00:00:00:00:00:ff:ff:ff:ff vf 0 link/infiniband 00:00:0a:2d:fe:80:00:00:00:00:00:00:ec:0d:9a:03:00:44:36:8d brd 00:ff:ff:ff:ff:12:40:1b:ff:ff:00:00:00:00:00:00:ff:ff:ff:ff, spoof checking off, NODE_GUID 22:44:33:00:33:11:00:33, PORT_GUID 10:21:33:12:00:11:22:10, link-state disable, trust off, query_rss off ==================== Based on the mlx5-next branch from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mellanox/linux for dependencies * branch 'ib-guids': (35 commits) IB/mlx5: Implement callbacks for getting VFs GUID attributes IB/ipoib: Add ndo operation for getting VFs GUID attributes IB/core: Add interfaces to get VF node and port GUIDs net/core: Add support for getting VF GUIDs net/mlx5: Add new chain for netfilter flow table offload net/mlx5: Refactor creating fast path prio chains net/mlx5: Accumulate levels for chains prio namespaces net/mlx5: Define fdb tc levels per prio net/mlx5: Rename FDB_* tc related defines to FDB_TC_* defines net/mlx5: Simplify fdb chain and prio eswitch defines IB/mlx5: Load profile according to RoCE enablement state IB/mlx5: Rename profile and init methods net/mlx5: Handle "enable_roce" devlink param net/mlx5: Document flow_steering_mode devlink param devlink: Add new "enable_roce" generic device param net/mlx5: fix spelling mistake "metdata" -> "metadata" net/mlx5: fix kvfree of uninitialized pointer spec IB/mlx5: Introduce and use mlx5_core_is_vf() net/mlx5: E-switch, Enable metadata on own vport net/mlx5: Refactor ingress acl configuration ...

2019-11-22docs, parallelism: Rearrange how jobserver reservations are madeKees Cook2-3/+35
Rasmus correctly observed that the existing jobserver reservation only worked if no other build targets were specified. The correct approach is to hold the jobserver slots until sphinx has finished. To fix this, the following changes are made: - refactor (and rename) scripts/jobserver-exec to set an environment variable for the maximally reserved jobserver slots and exec a child, to release the slots on exit. - create Documentation/scripts/parallel-wrapper.sh which examines both $PARALLELISM and the detected "-jauto" logic from Documentation/Makefile to decide sphinx's final -j argument. - chain these together in Documentation/Makefile Suggested-by: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/eb25959a-9ec4-3530-2031-d9d716b40b20@rasmusvillemoes.dk Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191121205929.40371-4-keescook@chromium.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
