Linus Torvalds 8c3c07439e (More) new code for 5.7:
- Validate the realtime geometry in the superblock when mounting
 - Refactor a bunch of tricky flag handling in the log code
 - Flush the CIL more judiciously so that we don't wait until there are
   millions of log items consuming a lot of memory.
 - Throttle transaction commits to prevent the xfs frontend from flooding
   the CIL with too many log items.
 - Account metadata buffers correctly for memory reclaim.
 - Mark slabs properly for memory reclaim.  These should help reclaim run
   more effectively when XFS is using a lot of memory.
 - Don't write a garbage log record at unmount time if we're trying to
   trigger summary counter recalculation at next mount.
 - Don't block the AIL on locked dquot/inode buffers; instead trigger its
   backoff mechanism to give the lock holder a chance to finish up.
 - Ratelimit writeback flushing when buffered writes encounter ENOSPC.
 - Other minor cleanups.
 - Make reflink a synchronous operation when the fs is mounted with wsync
   or sync, which means that now we force the log to disk to record the
   changes.

Merge tag 'xfs-5.7-merge-12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux

Pull more xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
 "As promised last week, this batch changes how xfs interacts with
  memory reclaim; how the log batches and throttles log items; how hard
  writes near ENOSPC will try to squeeze more space out of the
  filesystem; and hopefully fix the last of the umount hangs after a
  catastrophic failure.

  Summary:

   - Validate the realtime geometry in the superblock when mounting

   - Refactor a bunch of tricky flag handling in the log code

   - Flush the CIL more judiciously so that we don't wait until there
     are millions of log items consuming a lot of memory.

   - Throttle transaction commits to prevent the xfs frontend from
     flooding the CIL with too many log items.

   - Account metadata buffers correctly for memory reclaim.

   - Mark slabs properly for memory reclaim. These should help reclaim
     run more effectively when XFS is using a lot of memory.

   - Don't write a garbage log record at unmount time if we're trying to
     trigger summary counter recalculation at next mount.

   - Don't block the AIL on locked dquot/inode buffers; instead trigger
     its backoff mechanism to give the lock holder a chance to finish
     up.

   - Ratelimit writeback flushing when buffered writes encounter ENOSPC.

   - Other minor cleanups.

   - Make reflink a synchronous operation when the fs is mounted with
     wsync or sync, which means that now we force the log to disk to
     record the changes"

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.
