  • xfs-5.12-merge-3

    New code for 5.12:
    - Fix an ABBA deadlock when renaming files on overlayfs.
    - Make sure that we can't overflow the inode extent counters when adding
      to or removing extents from a file.
    - Make directory sgid inheritance work the same way as all the other
      filesystems.
    - Don't drain the buffer cache on freeze and ro remount, which should
      reduce the amount of time if read-only workloads are continuing
      during the freeze.
    - Fix a bug where symlink size isn't reported to the vfs in ecryptfs.
    - Disentangle log cleaning from log covering.  This refactoring sets us
      up for future changes to the log, though for now it simply means that
      we can use covering for freezes, and cleaning becomes something we
      only do at unmount.
    - Speed up file fsyncs by reducing iolock cycling.
    - Fix delalloc blocks leaking when changing the project id fails because
      of input validation errors in FSSETXATTR.
    - Fix oversized quota reservation when converting unwritten extents
      during a DAX write.
    - Create a transaction allocation helper function to standardize the
      idiom of allocating a transaction, reserving blocks, locking inodes,
      and reserving quota.  Replace all the open-coded logic for file
      creation, file ownership changes, and file modifications to use them.
    - Actually shut down the fs if the incore quota reservations get
      corrupted.
    - Fix background block garbage collection scans to not block and to
      actually clean out CoW staging extents properly.
    - Run block gc scans when we run low on project quota.
    - Use the standardized transaction allocation helpers to make it so that
      ENOSPC and EDQUOT errors during reservation will back out, invoke the
      block gc scanner, and try again.  This is preparation for introducing
      background inode garbage collection in the next cycle.
    - Combine speculative post-EOF block garbage collection with speculative
      copy on write block garbage collection.
    - Enable multithreaded quotacheck.
    - Allow sysadmins to tweak the CPU affinities and maximum concurrency
      levels of quotacheck and background blockgc worker pools.
    - Expose the inode btree counter feature in the fs geometry ioctl.
    - Cleanups of the growfs code in preparation for starting work on
      filesystem shrinking.
    - Fix all the bloody gcc warnings that the maintainer knows about. :P

    2020-12-05:
    - modem power driver: add more powerup modes and change interface for dumb and fastboot powerup
      - you can now write 2, 3 or 4 to .../powered sysfs file to select differnt powerup mode from
        the normal one (1)
      - this is useful for selecting alternate userspace configurations early in boot to allow
        tracing the userspace processes from early on for reverse engineering, and in the near
        future, it will be used to switch between original and fully-FOSS userspace code
        running on the modem's APPS CPU on powerup
        - see https://xnux.eu/log/#028
    2020-12-02:
    - fix WiFi blocking suspend
    - improve modem power driver interaction with kernel's autosleep
    - shorten resume times from 1.2s to 400ms (wifi driver optimization)
    2020-11-30:
    - I improved the anx7688 driver to actually respect PD capabilities of the source,
      and don't overload it. This should make it more likely to work with the USB-C
      docks when docks are powered.
    - Pine64 dock can provide either 500mA when powered from regular USB-A charger
      (regardless of what kind of charger it is, it can't use more current from it)
    - With my 3A PD charger, Pine64 dock will advertise 2600mA and Pinephone will
      now respect this limit.
    - rebase on linus/master (5.10-rc6 atm)
    - increase I2C clock for sensors and touchscreen/anx7688 from 100kHz to 400kHz
    - added patch from https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/dri-devel/cover/20200222024210.18697-1-yuq825@gmail.com/#23237865

    My kernel's main integration branch is 'orange-pi-$VER' (this one).
    No other branch is supposed to work alone. My defconfigs are tested
    and work on the boards I support. Read the README.md for more info.
    
    Only my branches based on the current mainline kernel branch are
    maintained (those are usually the -rc# kernels!). You can find the
    current mainline version here https://www.kernel.org/ (mainline: ...)
    
    My prebuilt kernels can be found at https://xff.cz/kernels/ You can
    use them to test that your board works, or just run them without
    bothering with building everything yourself. I run them on all my
    boards.
    
    My website is https://xnux.eu and may contain useful advice.
    
    Good luck!

    My kernel's main integration branch is 'orange-pi-$VER' (this one).
    No other branch is supposed to work alone. My defconfigs are tested
    and work on the boards I support. Read the README.md for more info.
    
    Only my branches based on the current mainline kernel branch are
    maintained (those are usually the -rc# kernels!). You can find the
    current mainline version here https://www.kernel.org/ (mainline: ...)
    
    My prebuilt kernels can be found at https://xff.cz/kernels/ You can
    use them to test that your board works, or just run them without
    bothering with building everything yourself. I run them on all my
    boards.
    
    My website is https://xnux.eu and may contain useful advice.
    
    Good luck!

    New code for 5.12:
    - Fix an ABBA deadlock when renaming files on overlayfs.
    - Make sure that we can't overflow the inode extent counters when adding
      to or removing extents from a file.
    - Make directory sgid inheritance work the same way as all the other
      filesystems.
    - Don't drain the buffer cache on freeze and ro remount, which should
      reduce the amount of time if read-only workloads are continuing
      during the freeze.
    - Fix a bug where symlink size isn't reported to the vfs in ecryptfs.
    - Disentangle log cleaning from log covering.  This refactoring sets us
      up for future changes to the log, though for now it simply means that
      we can use covering for freezes, and cleaning becomes something we
      only do at unmount.
    - Speed up file fsyncs by reducing iolock cycling.
    - Fix delalloc blocks leaking when changing the project id fails because
      of input validation errors in FSSETXATTR.
    - Fix oversized quota reservation when converting unwritten extents
      during a DAX write.
    - Create a transaction allocation helper function to standardize the
      idiom of allocating a transaction, reserving blocks, locking inodes,
      and reserving quota.  Replace all the open-coded logic for file
      creation, file ownership changes, and file modifications to use them.
    - Actually shut down the fs if the incore quota reservations get
      corrupted.
    - Fix background block garbage collection scans to not block and to
      actually clean out CoW staging extents properly.
    - Run block gc scans when we run low on project quota.
    - Use the standardized transaction allocation helpers to make it so that
      ENOSPC and EDQUOT errors during reservation will back out, invoke the
      block gc scanner, and try again.  This is preparation for introducing
      background inode garbage collection in the next cycle.
    - Combine speculative post-EOF block garbage collection with speculative
      copy on write block garbage collection.
    - Enable multithreaded quotacheck.
    - Allow sysadmins to tweak the CPU affinities and maximum concurrency
      levels of quotacheck and background blockgc worker pools.
    - Expose the inode btree counter feature in the fs geometry ioctl.
    - Cleanups of the growfs code in preparation for starting work on
      filesystem shrinking.
