Treat bdi_start_writeback(0) as a special request to do background write, and stop such work when we are below the background dirty threshold. Also simplify the (nr_pages <= 0) checks. Since we already pass in nr_pages=LONG_MAX for WB_SYNC_ALL and background writes, we don't need to worry about it being decreased to zero. Reported-by:

Some filesystem may choose to write much more than ratelimit_pages before calling balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_nr(). So it is safer to determine number to write based on real number of dirtied pages. Otherwise it is possible that loop { btrfs_file_write(): dirty 1024 pages balance_dirty_pages(): write up to 48 pages (= ratelimit_pages * 1.5) } in which the writeback rate cannot keep up with dirty rate, and the dirty pages go all the way beyond dirty_thresh. The increased write_chunk may make the dirtier more bumpy. So filesystems shall be take care not to dirty too much at a time (eg. > 4MB) without checking the ratelimit. Signed-off-by: -

If all inodes are under writeback (e.g. in case when there's only one inode with dirty pages), wb_writeback() with WB_SYNC_NONE work basically degrades to busylooping until I_SYNC flags of the inode is cleared. Fix the problem by waiting on I_SYNC flags of an inode on b_more_io list in case we failed to write anything. Tested-by:

On resume from suspend, the driver currently resets the logical state as if it was brought up from halt. This patch uses the dev_pm_ops.resume/restore methods to synchronize the hardware with the memorized logical state, in effect bringing back the accelerometer and backlight to the state prior to suspend. Works for both suspend to ram and hibernation. The patch has zero effect on the running state. Signed-off-by:

Enable the coretemp driver on an Intel Atom. I'm not sure if the readings are correct, however - on my 330, the driver reports values between 27 and 41 °C (with core1 being about 8°C hotter than core0, given the same load).

FLEX_ARRAY_INIT(element_size, total_nr_elements) cannot determine if either parameter is valid, so flex arrays which are statically allocated with this interface can easily become corrupted or reference beyond its allocated memory. This removes FLEX_ARRAY_INIT() as a struct flex_array initializer since no initializer may perform the required checking. Instead, the array is now defined with a new interface: DEFINE_FLEX_ARRAY(name, element_size, total_nr_elements) This may be prefixed with `static' for file scope. This interface includes compile-time checking of the parameters to ensure they are valid. Since the validity of both element_size and total_nr_elements depend on FLEX_ARRAY_BASE_SIZE and FLEX_ARRAY_PART_SIZE, the kernel build will fail if either of these predefined values changes such that the array parameters are no longer valid. Since BUILD_BUG_ON() requires compile time constants, several of the static inline functions that were once local to lib/flex_array.c had to be moved to include/linux/flex_array.h. Signed-off-by:

Add a new function to the flex_array API: int flex_array_shrink(struct flex_array *fa) This function will free all unused second-level pages. Since elements are now poisoned if they are not allocated with __GFP_ZERO, it's possible to identify parts that consist solely of unused elements. flex_array_shrink() returns the number of pages freed.

Newly initialized flex_array's and/or flex_array_part's are now poisoned with a new poison value, FLEX_ARRAY_FREE. It's value is similar to POISON_FREE used in the various slab allocators, but is different to distinguish between flex array's poisoned kmem and slab allocator poisoned kmem. This will allow us to identify flex_array_part's that only contain free elements (and free them with an addition to the flex_array API). This could also be extended in the future to identify `get' uses on elements that have not been `put'. If __GFP_ZERO is passed for a part's gfp mask, the poisoning is avoided. These elements are considered to be in-use since they have been initialized. Signed-off-by:

Add a new function to the flex_array API: int flex_array_clear(struct flex_array *fa, unsigned int element_nr) This function will zero the element at element_nr in the flex_array. Although this is equivalent to using flex_array_put() and passing a pointer to zero'd memory, flex_array_clear() does not require such a pointer to memory that would most likely need to be allocated on the caller's stack which could be significantly large depending on element_size.

Previous behavior was "bottom-up" in each section from the pattern "F:" entry that matched. Now information is entered into the various lists in the "as entered" order for each matched section. This also allows the F: entry to be put anywhere in a section, not just as the last entries in the section. And a couple of improvements: Don't alphabetically sort before outputting the matched scm, status, subsystem and web sections. Ignore content after a single email address so these entries are acceptable M: name <address> whatever other comment And a fix: Make an M: entry without a name again use the name from an immediately preceding P: line if it exists.
