2324d50d05 It's been a busy cycle for documentation - hopefully the busiest for a
while to come.  Changes include:
 
  - Some new Chinese translations
 
  - Progress on the battle against double words words and non-HTTPS URLs
 
  - Some block-mq documentation
 
  - More RST conversions from Mauro.  At this point, that task is
    essentially complete, so we shouldn't see this kind of churn again for a

659bf827ba block: add max_active_zones to blk-sysfs
Add a new max_active zones definition in the sysfs documentation.
This definition will be common for all devices utilizing the zoned block
device support in the kernel.

Export max_active_zones according to this new definition for NVMe Zoned
Namespace devices, ZAC ATA devices (which are treated as SCSI devices by
the kernel), and ZBC SCSI devices.

Add the new max_active_zones member to struct request_queue, rather
than as a queue limit, since this property cannot be split across stacking
drivers.

For SCSI devices, even though max active zones is not part of the ZBC/ZAC
spec, export max_active_zones as 0, signifying "no limit".

c62b37d96b block: move ->make_request_fn to struct block_device_operations
The make_request_fn is a little weird in that it sits directly in
struct request_queue instead of an operation vector.  Replace it with
a block_device_operations method called submit_bio (which describes much
better what it does).  Also remove the request_queue argument to it, as
the queue can be derived pretty trivially from the bio.

Merge tag 'for-5.8-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "Highlights:

   - speedup dead root detection during orphan cleanup, eg. when there
     are many deleted subvolumes waiting to be cleaned, the trees are
     now looked up in radix tree instead of a O(N^2) search

   - snapshot creation with inherited qgroup will mark the qgroup
     inconsistent, requires a rescan

   - send will emit file capabilities after chown, this produces a
     stream that does not need postprocessing to set the capabilities
     again

   - direct io ported to iomap infrastructure, cleaned up and simplified
     code, notably removing last use of struct buffer_head in btrfs code

  Core changes:

   - factor out backreference iteration, to be used by ordinary
     backreferences and relocation code

   - improved global block reserve utilization
      * better logic to serialize requests
      * increased maximum available for unlink
      * improved handling on large pages (64K)

   - direct io cleanups and fixes
      * simplify layering, where cloned bios were unnecessarily created
        for some cases
      * error handling fixes (submit, endio)
      * remove repair worker thread, used to avoid deadlocks during
        repair

   - refactored block group reading code, preparatory work for new type
     of block group storage that should improve mount time on large
     filesystems

  Cleanups:

   - cleaned up (and slightly sped up) set/get helpers for metadata data
     structure members

   - root bit REF_COWS got renamed to SHAREABLE to reflect the that the
     blocks of the tree get shared either among subvolumes or with the
     relocation trees

  Fixes:

   - when subvolume deletion fails due to ENOSPC, the filesystem is not
     turned read-only

   - device scan deals with devices from other filesystems that changed
     ownership due to overwrite (mkfs)

   - fix a race between scrub and block group removal/allocation

   - fix long standing bug of a runaway balance operation, printing the
     same line to the syslog, caused by a stale status bit on a reloc
     tree that prevented progress

   - fix corrupt log due to concurrent fsync of inodes with shared
     extents

   - fix space underflow for NODATACOW and buffered writes when it for
     some reason needs to fallback to COW mode"

9243c6f3e0 block: Document genhd capability flags
The kernel documentation includes a brief section about genhd
capabilities, but it turns out that the only documented
capability (GENHD_FL_MEDIA_CHANGE_NOTIFY) isn't used any more.

This patch removes that flag, and documents the rest, based on my
understanding of the current uses of these flags in the kernel. The
documentation is kept in the header file, alongside the declarations,
in the hope that it will be kept up-to-date in future; the kernel
documentation is changed to include the documentation generated from
the header file.

Because the ultimate goal is to provide some end-user
documentation (or end-administrator documentation), the comments are
perhaps more user-oriented than might be expected. Since the values
are shown to users in hexadecimal, the documentation lists them in
hexadecimal, and the constant declarations are adjusted to match.

b686631865 block: add iostat counters for flush requests
Requests that triggers flushing volatile writeback cache to disk (barriers)
have significant effect to overall performance.

Block layer has sophisticated engine for combining several flush requests
into one. But there is no statistics for actual flushes executed by disk.
Requests which trigger flushes usually are barriers - zero-size writes.

This patch adds two iostat counters into /sys/class/block/$dev/stat and
/proc/diskstats - count of completed flush requests and their total time.

This also means we stop recounting segments except for cloning

a7ddcea58a Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/
This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned)
and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct
way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox.

The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present
in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their
usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal
the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as
a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise
anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers)

A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really
needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps
it is time to just throw them out.

A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first
counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last
is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX.

List of outdated 00-INDEX:
Documentation: (4/10)
Documentation/sysctl: (0/1)
Documentation/timers: (1/0)
Documentation/blockdev: (3/1)
Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1)
Documentation/locking: (0/1)
Documentation/devicetree: (0/5)
Documentation/power: (1/1)
Documentation/powerpc: (0/5)
Documentation/arm: (1/0)
Documentation/x86: (0/9)
Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1)
Documentation/scsi: (4/4)
Documentation/filesystems: (2/9)
Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2)
Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2)
Documentation/kbuild: (0/4)
Documentation/spi: (1/0)
Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0)
Documentation/scheduler: (0/2)
Documentation/fb: (0/1)
Documentation/block: (0/1)
Documentation/networking: (6/37)
Documentation/vm: (1/3)

Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that
are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no
00-INDEX).

I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX,
but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If
we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not
if we just want to delete them anyway.

As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and
see where the discussion is going.

ca4b2a0119 null_blk: add zone support
Adds support for exposing a null_blk device through the zone device
interface.

The interface is managed with the parameters zoned and zone_size.
If zoned is set, the null_blk instance registers as a zoned block
device. The zone_size parameter defines how big each zone will be.

eeee3149aa There's been a fair amount of work in the docs tree this time around,
including:
 
  - Extensive RST conversions and organizational work in the
    memory-management docs thanks to Mike Rapoport.
 
  - An update of Documentation/features from Andrea Parri and a script to
    keep it updated.
 
  - Various LICENSES updates from Thomas, along with a script to check SPDX
    tags.
 
  - Work to fix dangling references to documentation files; this involved a
    fair number of one-liner comment changes outside of Documentation/
 
 ...and the usual list of documentation improvements, typo fixes, etc.
