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.

As we test disk offline/online with running fsstress, we find fsstress
process is keeping running state.

repeat:
ext4_mb_discard_preallocations_should_retry(sb, ac, &seq)
freed = ext4_mb_discard_preallocations
ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations
this_cpu_inc(discard_pa_seq);
---> freed == 0
seq_retry = ext4_get_discard_pa_seq_sum
for_each_possible_cpu(__cpu)
__seq += per_cpu(discard_pa_seq, __cpu);
if (seq_retry != *seq) {
*seq = seq_retry;
ret = true;
}
As we see seq_retry is sum of discard_pa_seq every cpu, if
ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations return zero discard_pa_seq in this
cpu maybe increase one, so condition "seq_retry != *seq" have always
been met.
Ritesh Harjani suggest to in ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations function we
only increase discard_pa_seq when there is some PA to free.
Fixes: 07b5b8e1 ("ext4: mballoc: introduce pcpu seqcnt for freeing PA to improve ENOSPC handling")
