  • The (un)register_rpmsg_device() functions never made it to mainline, so
    drop them for now.

  • The current rpmsg_client_sample is a very simple example and
    is not designed to handle multiple instances. Add support for
    multiple instances, so that the same number of pings are sent
    to each instance. The instances can be on one or multiple
    remote processors.

  • There are couple of print_hex_dump traces used in rpmsg code which
    prints the actual byte messages being transferred between host and
    the remote processors. These traces are quiet verbose and affects
    performance, if the appropriate trace level is enabled. These hex
    dumps are needed rather rarely, but are quite useful when debugging
    complex IPC corner cases. So, this patch switches these hex dump
    traces to use the dynamic_hex_dump() API.

    The hex dump traces are also enabled only when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG
    is enabled. This switch allows flexibility of controlling these
    traces through dynamic debug, instead of removing them completely.

  • This patch fixes most of the existing alignment checkpatch check
    warnings of the type "Alignment should match open parenthesis"
    in the virtio rpmsg bus code. A couple of them have been left as

  • The dma_addr_t types can be printed properly using the %pad
    printk format-specifier, there is no need to resort to the
    unsigned long long type-casting to deal with different possible
    type sizes.

  • These types of error prints are superfluous. The system will
    pick up on OOM issues and let the user know. While at this,
    fix the usage of using a structure instead of the actual
    variable in one of the allocations.

  • Pull more block fixes from Jens Axboe:
    "As mentioned in the pull the other day, a few more fixes for this
    round, all related to the bio op changes in this series.

    Two fixes, and then a cleanup, renaming bio->bi_rw to bio->bi_opf. I
    wanted to do that change right after or right before -rc1, so that
    risk of conflict was reduced. I just rebased the series on top of
    current master, and no new ->bi_rw usage has snuck in"

  • Pull drm zpos property support from Dave Airlie:
    "This tree was waiting on some media stuff I hadn't had time to get a
    stable branchpoint off, so I just waited until it was all in your tree
    first.

    It's been around a bit on the list and shouldn't affect anything
    outside adding the generic API and moving some ARM drivers to using
    it"

  • Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower
    portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that
    old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely
    going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger,
    rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break
    at compile time instead of at runtime.

    No intended functional changes in this commit.

    Jens Axboe
     
  • Commit abf545484d31 changed it from an 'rw' flags type to the
    newer ops based interface, but now we're effectively leaking
    some bdev internals to the rest of the kernel. Since we only
    care about whether it's a read or a write at that level, just
    pass in a bool 'is_write' parameter instead.

    Then we can also move op_is_write() and friends back under
    CONFIG_BLOCK protection.

  • Pull binfmt_misc update from James Bottomley:
    "This update is to allow architecture emulation containers to function
    such that the emulation binary can be housed outside the container
    itself. The container and fs parts both have acks from relevant
    experts.

    To use the new feature you have to add an F option to your binfmt_misc
    configuration"

    From the docs:
    "The usual behaviour of binfmt_misc is to spawn the binary lazily when
    the misc format file is invoked. However, this doesn't work very well
    in the face of mount namespaces and changeroots, so the F mode opens
    the binary as soon as the emulation is installed and uses the opened
    image to spawn the emulator, meaning it is always available once
    installed, regardless of how the environment changes"

  • In most cases, EPERM is returned on immutable inode, and there're only a
    few places returning EACCES. I noticed this when running LTP on
    overlayfs, setxattr03 failed due to unexpected EACCES on immutable
    inode.

    So converting all EACCES to EPERM on immutable inode.

  • …nel/git/dgc/linux-xfs

    Pull more xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
    "This is the second part of the XFS updates for this merge cycle, and
    contains the new reverse block mapping feature for XFS.

    Reverse mapping allows us to track the owner of a specific block on
    disk precisely. It is implemented as a set of btrees (one per
    allocation group) that track the owners of allocated extents.
    Effectively it is a "used space tree" that is updated when we allocate
    or free extents. i.e. it is coherent with the free space btrees we
    already maintain and never overlaps with them.

    This reverse mapping infrastructure is the building block of several
    upcoming features - reflink, copy-on-write data, dedupe, online
    metadata and data scrubbing, highly accurate bad sector/data loss
    reporting to users, and significantly improved reconstruction of
    damaged and corrupted filesystems. There's a lot of new stuff coming
    along in the next couple of cycles,a nd it all builds in the rmap
    infrastructure.

    As such, it's a huge chunk of new code with new on-disk format
    features and internal infrastructure. It warns at mount time as an
    experimental feature and that it may eat data (as we do with all new
    on-disk features until they stabilise). We have not released
    userspace suport for it yet - userspace support currently requires
    download from Darrick's xfsprogs repo and build from source, so the
    access to this feature is really developer/tester only at this point.
    Initial userspace support will be released at the same time kernel
    with this code in it is released.

    The new rmap enabled code regresses 3 xfstests - all are ENOSPC
    related corner cases, one of which Darrick posted a fix for a few
    hours ago. The other two are fixed by infrastructure that is part of
    the upcoming reflink patchset. This new ENOSPC infrastructure
    requires a on-disk format tweak required to keep mount times in
    check - we need to keep an on-disk count of allocated rmapbt blocks so
    we don't have to scan the entire btrees at mount time to count them.

    This is currently being tested and will be part of the fixes sent in
    the next week or two so users will not be exposed to this change"
