Pull documentation fixes from Jonathan Corbet:
"A handful of late-arriving documentation fixes and the addition of an
SVG tux logo which, I'm assured, we're going to want"
* tag 'docs-5.19-2' of git://git.lwn.net/linux:
documentation: Format button_dev as a pointer.
docs: add SVG version of the Linux logo
docs: move Linux logo into a new `images` folder
docs: blockdev: change title to match section content
docs/conf.py: Cope with removal of language=None in Sphinx 5.0.0

This index.rst was added in commit
39443104c7d3 docs: blockdev: convert to ReST
It appears that the title from the RapidIO index page was copied. This
title does not match the content of this directory. Change it to match.

Today it's only possible to write back as a page, idle, or huge. A user
might want to writeback pages which are huge and idle first as these idle
pages do not require decompression and make a good first pass for
writeback.
Idle writeback specifically has the advantage that a refault is unlikely
given that the page has been swapped for some amount of time without being
refaulted.
Huge writeback has the advantage that you're guaranteed to get the maximum
benefit from a single page writeback, that is, you're reclaiming one full
page of memory. Pages which are compressed in zram being written back
result in some benefit which is always less than a page size because of
the fact that it was compressed.
The primary use of this is for minimizing refaults in situations where the
device has to be sensitive to storage endurance. On ChromeOS we have
devices with slow eMMC and repeated writes and refaults can negatively
affect performance and endurance.

While node-states-8.dot has two digraphs, the dot(1) command can
not properly handle multiple graphs in a DOT file and the
kernel-doc page at
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/blockdev/drbd/figures.html
fails to render the graphs.
It turned out that the digraph of node_states can be removed.
Quote from Joel's reflection:
On reflection, the digraph node_states can be removed entirely.
It is too basic to contain any useful information. In addition
it references "ioctl_set_state". The ioctl configuration
interface for DRBD has long been removed. In fact, it was never
in the upstream version of DRBD.
Remove node_states and rename the DOT file peer_states-8.dot.

This change introduces an aged idle interface to the existing idle sysfs
file for zram.
When CONFIG_ZRAM_MEMORY_TRACKING is enabled the idle file now also
accepts an integer argument. This integer is the age (in seconds) of
pages to mark as idle. The idle file still supports 'all' as it always
has. This new approach allows for much more control over which pages
get marked as idle.

Merge misc updates from Andrew Morton:
- a few random little subsystems
- almost all of the MM patches which are staged ahead of linux-next
material. I'll trickle to post-linux-next work in as the dependents
get merged up.
Subsystems affected by this patch series: kthread, kbuild, ide, ntfs,
ocfs2, arch, and mm (slab-generic, slab, slub, dax, debug, pagecache,
gup, swap, shmem, memcg, pagemap, mremap, hmm, vmalloc, documentation,
kasan, pagealloc, memory-failure, hugetlb, vmscan, z3fold, compaction,
oom-kill, migration, cma, page-poison, userfaultfd, zswap, zsmalloc,
uaccess, zram, and cleanups).
* emailed patches from Andrew Morton <[email protected]>: (200 commits)
mm: cleanup kstrto*() usage
mm: fix fall-through warnings for Clang

Currently, zram supports the stat via /sys/block/zram/mm_stat to represent
how many of incompressible pages are stored at the moment but it couldn't
show how many times incompressible pages were wrote down since zram set
up. It's also good indication to see how zram is effective in the system.

There is demand to writeback specific process pages to backing store
instead of all idles pages in the system due to storage wear out concerns
and to launching latency of apps which are most of the time idle but are
critical for resume latency.
This patch extends the writeback knob to support a specific page
writeback.

Remove use of "rdev" from blockdev/ramdisk.rst and update
admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt.
"rdev" is considered antiquated, ancient, archaic, obsolete, deprecated
{choose any or all}.
"rdev" was removed from util-linux in 2010:

Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.
Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
If not .svg:
For each line:
If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
return 200 OK and serve the same content:
Replace HTTP with HTTPS.
