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 more xfs updates from Darrick Wong: "As promised last week, this batch changes how xfs interacts with memory reclaim; how the log batches and throttles log items; how hard writes near ENOSPC will try to squeeze more space out of the filesystem; and hopefully fix the last of the umount hangs after a catastrophic failure. Summary: - Validate the realtime geometry in the superblock when mounting - Refactor a bunch of tricky flag handling in the log code - Flush the CIL more judiciously so that we don't wait until there are millions of log items consuming a lot of memory. - Throttle transaction commits to prevent the xfs frontend from flooding the CIL with too many log items. - Account metadata buffers correctly for memory reclaim. - Mark slabs properly for memory reclaim. These should help reclaim run more effectively when XFS is using a lot of memory. - Don't write a garbage log record at unmount time if we're trying to trigger summary counter recalculation at next mount. - Don't block the AIL on locked dquot/inode buffers; instead trigger its backoff mechanism to give the lock holder a chance to finish up. - Ratelimit writeback flushing when buffered writes encounter ENOSPC. - Other minor cleanups. - Make reflink a synchronous operation when the fs is mounted with wsync or sync, which means that now we force the log to disk to record the changes" * tag 'xfs-5.7-merge-12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux: (26 commits) xfs: reflink should force the log out if mounted with wsync xfs: factor out a new xfs_log_force_inode helper xfs: fix inode number overflow in ifree cluster helper xfs: remove redundant variable assignment in xfs_symlink() xfs: ratelimit inode flush on buffered write ENOSPC xfs: return locked status of inode buffer on xfsaild push xfs: trylock underlying buffer on dquot flush xfs: remove unnecessary ternary from xfs_create xfs: don't write a corrupt unmount record to force summary counter recalc xfs: factor inode lookup from xfs_ifree_cluster xfs: tail updates only need to occur when LSN changes xfs: factor common AIL item deletion code xfs: correctly acount for reclaimable slabs xfs: Improve metadata buffer reclaim accountability xfs: don't allow log IO to be throttled xfs: Throttle commits on delayed background CIL push xfs: Lower CIL flush limit for large logs xfs: remove some stale comments from the log code xfs: refactor unmount record writing xfs: merge xlog_commit_record with xlog_write_done ...
