      ext4: add support for lazy inode table initialization · bfff6873
      由 Lukas Czerner 提交于 
      When the lazy_itable_init extended option is passed to mke2fs, it
considerably speeds up filesystem creation because inode tables are
not zeroed out.  The fact that parts of the inode table are
uninitialized is not a problem so long as the block group descriptors,
which contain information regarding how much of the inode table has
been initialized, has not been corrupted However, if the block group
checksums are not valid, e2fsck must scan the entire inode table, and
the the old, uninitialized data could potentially cause e2fsck to
report false problems.

Hence, it is important for the inode tables to be initialized as soon
as possble.  This commit adds this feature so that mke2fs can safely
use the lazy inode table initialization feature to speed up formatting
file systems.

This is done via a new new kernel thread called ext4lazyinit, which is
created on demand and destroyed, when it is no longer needed.  There
is only one thread for all ext4 filesystems in the system. When the
first filesystem with inititable mount option is mounted, ext4lazyinit
thread is created, then the filesystem can register its request in the
request list.

This thread then walks through the list of requests picking up
scheduled requests and invoking ext4_init_inode_table(). Next schedule
time for the request is computed by multiplying the time it took to
zero out last inode table with wait multiplier, which can be set with
the (init_itable=n) mount option (default is 10).  We are doing
this so we do not take the whole I/O bandwidth. When the thread is no
longer necessary (request list is empty) it frees the appropriate
structures and exits (and can be created later later by another
filesystem).

We do not disturb regular inode allocations in any way, it just do not
care whether the inode table is, or is not zeroed. But when zeroing, we
have to skip used inodes, obviously. Also we should prevent new inode
allocations from the group, while zeroing is on the way. For that we
take write alloc_sem lock in ext4_init_inode_table() and read alloc_sem
in the ext4_claim_inode, so when we are unlucky and allocator hits the
group which is currently being zeroed, it just has to wait.

This can be suppresed using the mount option no_init_itable.

      docbook: skip files with no docs since they generate scary warnings · 39d70939
      由 Randy Dunlap 提交于 
      Fix docbook templates that reference files that do not contain the
expected kernel-doc notation.

Fixes these warnings:

  Warning(arch/x86/include/asm/unaligned.h): no structured comments found
  Warning(lib/vsprintf.c): no structured comments found

These cause errors in the generated html output, like below, so drop
these lines.

  Name
  arch/x86/include/asm/unaligned.h - Document generation inconsistency
  Oops
  Warning
  The template for this document tried to insert the structured comment from the file arch/x86/include/asm/unaligned.h at this point, but none was found. This dummy section is inserted to allow generation to continue.

      docbook: warn on unused doc entries · eda603f6
      由 Johannes Berg 提交于 
      When you don't use !E or !I but only !F, then it's very easy to miss
including some functions, structs etc.  in documentation.  To help
finding which ones were missed, allow printing out the unused ones as
warnings.

For example, using this on mac80211 yields a lot of warnings like this:

  Warning: didn't use docs for DOC: mac80211 workqueue
  Warning: didn't use docs for ieee80211_max_queues
  Warning: didn't use docs for ieee80211_bss_change
  Warning: didn't use docs for ieee80211_bss_conf

when generating the documentation for it.

      PCI: PCIe: Ask BIOS for control of all native services at once · 28eb5f27
      由 Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于 
      After commit 852972ac (ACPI: Disable
ASPM if the platform won't provide _OSC control for PCIe) control of
the PCIe Capability Structure is unconditionally requested by
acpi_pci_root_add(), which in principle may cause problems to
happen in two ways.  First, the BIOS may refuse to give control of
the PCIe Capability Structure if it is not asked for any of the
_OSC features depending on it at the same time.  Second, the BIOS may
assume that control of the _OSC features depending on the PCIe
Capability Structure will be requested in the future and may behave
incorrectly if that doesn't happen.  For this reason, control of
the PCIe Capability Structure should always be requested along with
control of any other _OSC features that may depend on it (ie. PCIe
native PME, PCIe native hot-plug, PCIe AER).

Rework the PCIe port driver so that (1) it checks which native PCIe
port services can be enabled, according to the BIOS, and (2) it
requests control of all these services simultaneously.  In
particular, this causes pcie_portdrv_probe() to fail if the BIOS
refuses to grant control of the PCIe Capability Structure, which
means that no native PCIe port services can be enabled for the PCIe
Root Complex the given port belongs to.  If that happens, ASPM is
disabled to avoid problems with mishandling it by the part of the
PCIe hierarchy for which control of the PCIe Capability Structure
has not been received.

Make it possible to override this behavior using 'pcie_ports=native'
(use the PCIe native services regardless of the BIOS response to the
control request), or 'pcie_ports=compat' (do not use the PCIe native
services at all).

Accordingly, rework the existing PCIe port service drivers so that
they don't request control of the services directly.

      mmc: add erase, secure erase, trim and secure trim operations · dfe86cba
      由 Adrian Hunter 提交于 
      SD/MMC cards tend to support an erase operation.  In addition, eMMC v4.4
cards can support secure erase, trim and secure trim operations that are
all variants of the basic erase command.

SD/MMC device attributes "erase_size" and "preferred_erase_size" have been
added.

"erase_size" is the minimum size, in bytes, of an erase operation.  For
MMC, "erase_size" is the erase group size reported by the card.  Note that
"erase_size" does not apply to trim or secure trim operations where the
minimum size is always one 512 byte sector.  For SD, "erase_size" is 512
if the card is block-addressed, 0 otherwise.

SD/MMC cards can erase an arbitrarily large area up to and
including the whole card.  When erasing a large area it may
be desirable to do it in smaller chunks for three reasons:

    1. A single erase command will make all other I/O on the card
       wait.  This is not a problem if the whole card is being erased, but
       erasing one partition will make I/O for another partition on the
       same card wait for the duration of the erase - which could be a
       several minutes.

    2. To be able to inform the user of erase progress.

    3. The erase timeout becomes too large to be very useful.
       Because the erase timeout contains a margin which is multiplied by
       the size of the erase area, the value can end up being several
       minutes for large areas.

"erase_size" is not the most efficient unit to erase (especially for SD
where it is just one sector), hence "preferred_erase_size" provides a good
chunk size for erasing large areas.

For MMC, "preferred_erase_size" is the high-capacity erase size if a card
specifies one, otherwise it is based on the capacity of the card.

For SD, "preferred_erase_size" is the allocation unit size specified by
the card.

"preferred_erase_size" is in bytes.
