   buffers

 - Refactor the extended attribute code to prepare it for the addition

   when log intent recovery fails

Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
 "Most of the work this cycle has been on refactoring various parts of
  the codebase. The biggest non-cleanup changes are (1) reducing the
  number of cache flushes sent when writing the log; (2) a substantial
  number of log recovery fixes; and (3) I started accepting pull
  requests from contributors if the commits in their branches match
  what's been sent to the list.

  For a week or so I /had/ staged a major cleanup of the logging code
  from Dave Chinner, but it exposed so many lurking bugs in other parts
  of the logging and log recovery code that I decided to defer that
  patchset until we can address those latent bugs.

  Larger cleanups this time include walking the incore inode cache (me)
  and rework of the extended attribute code (Allison) to prepare it for
  adding logged xattr updates (and directory tree parent pointers) in
  future releases.

  Summary:

   - Refactor the buffer cache to use bulk page allocation

   - Convert agnumber-based AG iteration to walk per-AG structures

   - Clean up some unit conversions and other code warts

   - Reduce spinlock contention in the directio fastpath

   - Collapse all the inode cache walks into a single function

   - Remove indirect function calls from the inode cache walk code

   - Dramatically reduce the number of cache flushes sent when writing
     log buffers

   - Preserve inode sickness reports for longer

   - Rename xfs_eofblocks since it controls inode cache walks

   - Refactor the extended attribute code to prepare it for the addition
     of log intent items to make xattrs fully transactional

   - A few fixes to earlier large patchsets

   - Log recovery fixes so that we don't accidentally mark the log clean
     when log intent recovery fails

   - Fix some latent SOB errors

   - Clean up shutdown messages that get logged to dmesg

   - Fix a regression in the online shrink code

   - Fix a UAF in the buffer logging code if the fs goes offline

   - Fix uninitialized error variables

   - Fix a UAF in the CIL when commited log item callbacks race with a
     shutdown

   - Fix a bug where the CIL could hang trying to push part of the log
     ring buffer that hasn't been filled yet"

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
