- More safety fixes, primarily found by syzbot - Run the upgrade/downgrade paths in nochnages mode. Nochanges mode is primarily for testing fsck/recovery in dry run mode, so it shouldn't change anything besides disabling writes and holding dirty metadata in memory. The idea here was to reduce the amount of activity if we can't write anything out, so that bringing up a filesystem in "super ro" mode would be more lilkely to work for data recovery - but norecovery is the correct option for this. - btree_trans->locked; we now track whether a btree_trans has any btree nodes locked, and this is used for improved assertions related to trans_unlock() and trans_relock(). We'll also be using it for improving how we work with lockdep in the future: we don't want lockdep to be tracking individual btree node locks because we take too many for lockdep to track, and it's not necessary since we have a cycle detector. - Trigger improvements that are prep work for online fsck - BTREE_TRIGGER_check_repair; this regularizes how we do some repair work for extents that goes with running triggers in fsck, and fixes some subtle issues with transaction restarts there. - bch2_snapshot_equiv() has now been ripped out of fsck.c; snapshot equivalence classes are for when snapshot deletion leaves behind redundant snapshot nodes, but snapshot deletion now cleans this up right away, so the abstraction doesn't need to leak. - Improvements to how we resume writing to the journal in recovery. The code for picking the new place to write when reading the journal is greatly simplified and we also store the position in the superblock for when we don't read the journal; this means that we preserve more of the journal for list_journal debugging. - Improvements to sysfs btree_cache and btree_node_cache, for debugging memory reclaim. - We now detect when we've blocked for 10 seconds on the allocator in the write path and dump some useful info. - Safety fixes for devices references: this is a big series that changes almost all device lookups to properly check if the device exists and take a reference to it. Previously we assumed that if a bkey exists that references a device then the device must exist, and this was enforced in .invalid methods, but this was incorrect because it meant device removal relied on accounting being correct to not leave keys pointing to invalid devices, and that's not something we can assume. Getting the "pointer to invalid device" checks out of our .invalid() methods fixes some long standing device removal bugs; the only outstanding bug with device removal now is a race between the discard path and deleting alloc info, which should be easily fixed. - The allocator now prefers not to expand the new member_info.btree_allocated bitmap, meaning if repair ever requires scanning for btree nodes (because of a corrupt interior nodes) we won't have to scan the whole device(s). - New coding style document, which among other things talks about the correct usage of assertions -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEKnAFLkS8Qha+jvQrE6szbY3KbnYFAmZKJQgACgkQE6szbY3K bnZETg//SU9H0OHnBSMB/cteF6PKo9QR+dhT+3n+gWTxl0o/egbGTqwbzVqGtd2f J6II1BsDk8VoTOb/gFfLRShlmJfnj2jpRThU265faR/7LQYeSaqndDPkjOpTayAD Nj/DJyiSUTL753rZh3yUhOpOIHf7iapH6wuaZCPfhdfk+yvZNW8iz07JHjHLKRp8 I2cFH0r6kN916NdRkt9oDCz68WouT8eWTqwcKra04XsLEZjNJHxLpKMq4M8UdPc7 YynJPVt+aP8+VduGIq6pV8Co3afCP2oUywo11JpRmvLsw4tex/59wxOYtpMfgn6k 4H+9WqiBwkbmnLDrfFHWRameS6F/7+GRAOVuz9nkmfk61UPU15gLjSRffqZ6u2YC 7vbrXgebId/sZXtBpQd83RMMX52BnEJah0upNJ54IsSqfDYkU9lwl6CEyYpcX1hf YNBGBTbspZztc3AB13b3ow421FMhaySUg0FDmntMR9O8Z6/BXk7Ykc7b8DPEfrFs W6JY7q+ARBxr+EgFcV74fvMCf7NJTAhyv80AKryo7NFU2JZOyyaTxcTGSnolX4Mi lyHiOgicmOX+vy3vbC1dZoDcmIDJ4Uc0vixYcpKiZqxlR8XJ+wpevC50TEhxrcW+ ZO4SloQvgyjI34xu/gZgjRYb3BhXK3x+ougVFpRG8V8zQ/+ccWg= =MKrF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'bcachefs-2024-05-19' of https://evilpiepirate.org/git/bcachefs Pull bcachefs updates from Kent Overstreet: - More safety fixes, primarily found by syzbot - Run the upgrade/downgrade paths in nochnages mode.

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 reStructuredText 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.
