doc-rst: generic way to build PDF of sub-folders
This extends the method to build only sub-folders to the targets
"latexdocs" and "pdfdocs". To do so, a conf.py in the sub-folder is
required, where the latex_documents of the sub-folder are
defined. E.g. to build only gpu's PDF add the following to the
Documentation/gpu/conf.py::
+latex_documents = [
+ ("index", "gpu.tex", "Linux GPU Driver Developer's Guide",
+ "The kernel development community", "manual"),
+]
and run:

docs: sphinx-extensions: add metadata parallel-safe
The setup() function of a Sphinx-extension can return a dictionary. This
is treated by Sphinx as metadata of the extension [1].
With metadata "parallel_read_safe = True" a extension is marked as

build in parallel with N processes. E.g.:
make SPHINXOPTS=-j4 htmldocs
will no longer log warnings like:
WARNING: the foobar extension does not declare if it is safe for
parallel reading, assuming it isn't - please ask the extension author
to check and make it explicit.

docs-rst: kernel-doc: fix typedef output in RST format
When using a typedef function like this one:
typedef bool v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc (const struct v4l2_dv_timings * t, void * handle);
The Sphinx C domain expects it to create a c:type: reference,
as that's the way it creates the type references when parsing
a c:function:: declaration.
So, a declaration like:
.. c:function:: bool v4l2_valid_dv_timings (const struct v4l2_dv_timings * t, const struct v4l2_dv_timings_cap * cap, v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc fnc, void * fnc_handle)
Will create a cross reference for :c:type:`v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc`.
So, when outputting such typedefs in RST format, we need to handle
this special case, as otherwise it will produce those warnings:
./include/media/v4l2-dv-timings.h:43: WARNING: c:type reference target not found: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc
./include/media/v4l2-dv-timings.h:60: WARNING: c:type reference target not found: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc
./include/media/v4l2-dv-timings.h:81: WARNING: c:type reference target not found: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc
So, change the kernel-doc script to produce a RST output for the
above typedef as:
.. c:type:: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc
**Typedef**: timings check callback
**Syntax**
``bool v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc (const struct v4l2_dv_timings * t, void * handle);``

From the old description people still can't get what's the exact

nr_cpus is always suggested if it's implemented in the ARCH. The
reason is nr_cpus is used to limit the max number of possible cpu

exceed its value. However maxcpus is used to limit how many cpus

docs-rst: kernel-doc: better output struct members
Right now, for a struct, kernel-doc produces the following output:
.. c:type:: struct v4l2_prio_state
stores the priority states
**Definition**
::
struct v4l2_prio_state {
atomic_t prios[4];
};
**Members**
``atomic_t prios[4]``
array with elements to store the array priorities
Putting a member name in verbatim and adding a continuation line
causes the LaTeX output to generate something like:
item[atomic_t prios\[4\]] array with elements to store the array priorities
Everything inside "item" is non-breakable, with may produce
lines bigger than the column width.
Also, for function members, like:
int (* rx_read) (struct v4l2_subdev *sd, u8 *buf, size_t count,ssize_t *num);
It puts the name of the member at the end, like:
int (*) (struct v4l2_subdev *sd, u8 *buf, size_t count,ssize_t *num) read
With is very confusing.
The best is to highlight what really matters: the member name.
is a secondary information.
So, change kernel-doc, for it to produce the output on a different way:
**Members**
``prios[4]``
array with elements to store the array priorities
Also, as the type is not part of LaTeX "item[]", LaTeX will split it into
multiple lines, if needed.
So, both LaTeX/PDF and HTML outputs will look good.
It should be noticed, however, that the way Sphinx LaTeX output handles
things like:
Foo
bar
is different than the HTML output. On HTML, it will produce something
like:
**Foo**
bar
While, on LaTeX, it puts both foo and bar at the same line, like:
**Foo** bar

nitpick_ignore = [

See Sphinx documentation for the config values for ``nitpick`` and
``nitpick_ignore`` [1].
With this change all the ".. cpp:function:: int ioctl(..)" descriptions
(found in the media book) can be migrated to ".. c:function:: int
ioctl(..)", without getting any warnings. E.g.::
.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, struct cec_event *argp )
.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, struct cec_event *argp )
The main effect, is that we get those *CPP-types* back into Sphinx's C-

Pull more xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
"This is the second part of the XFS updates for this merge cycle, and
contains the new reverse block mapping feature for XFS.
Reverse mapping allows us to track the owner of a specific block on
disk precisely. It is implemented as a set of btrees (one per
allocation group) that track the owners of allocated extents.
Effectively it is a "used space tree" that is updated when we allocate
or free extents. i.e. it is coherent with the free space btrees we
already maintain and never overlaps with them.
This reverse mapping infrastructure is the building block of several
upcoming features - reflink, copy-on-write data, dedupe, online
metadata and data scrubbing, highly accurate bad sector/data loss
reporting to users, and significantly improved reconstruction of
damaged and corrupted filesystems. There's a lot of new stuff coming
along in the next couple of cycles,a nd it all builds in the rmap
infrastructure.
As such, it's a huge chunk of new code with new on-disk format
features and internal infrastructure. It warns at mount time as an
experimental feature and that it may eat data (as we do with all new
on-disk features until they stabilise). We have not released
userspace suport for it yet - userspace support currently requires
download from Darrick's xfsprogs repo and build from source, so the
access to this feature is really developer/tester only at this point.
Initial userspace support will be released at the same time kernel
with this code in it is released.
The new rmap enabled code regresses 3 xfstests - all are ENOSPC
related corner cases, one of which Darrick posted a fix for a few
hours ago. The other two are fixed by infrastructure that is part of
the upcoming reflink patchset. This new ENOSPC infrastructure
requires a on-disk format tweak required to keep mount times in
check - we need to keep an on-disk count of allocated rmapbt blocks so
we don't have to scan the entire btrees at mount time to count them.
This is currently being tested and will be part of the fixes sent in
the next week or two so users will not be exposed to this change"

This script automates testing doorbells, scratchpads and memory windows

back to the same host or use SSH to remotely control the second host.
In the single host case, the script just needs to be passed two

the -r option must be used to specify the remote hostname (which must
be SSH accessible and should probably have ssh-keys exchanged).

ntb_perf: clear link_is_up flag when the link goes down.
When the link goes down, the link_is_up flag did not return to
false. This could have caused some subtle corner case bugs
when the link goes up and down quickly.
Once that was fixed, there was found to be a race if the link was
brought down then immediately up. The link_cleanup work would
occasionally be scheduled after the next link up event. This would
cancel the link_work that was supposed to occur and leave ntb_perf

ntb_tool: Add link status and files to debugfs
In order to more successfully script with ntb_tool it's useful to
have a link file to check the link status so that the script
doesn't use the other files until the link is up.
This commit adds a 'link' file to the debugfs directory which reads
boolean (Y or N) depending on the link status. Writing to the file
change the link state using ntb_link_enable or ntb_link_disable.
A 'link_event' file is also provided so an application can block until
the link changes to the desired state. If the user writes a 1, it will
block until the link is up. If the user writes a 0, it will block until
the link is down.

ntb_tool: Postpone memory window initialization for the user
In order to make the interface closer to the raw NTB API, this commit
changes memory windows so they are not initialized on link up.
Instead, the 'peer_trans*' debugfs files are introduced. When read,
they return information provided by ntb_mw_get_range. When written,
they create a buffer and initialize the memory window. The
value written is taken as the requested size of the buffer (which
is then rounded for alignment). Writing a value of zero frees the buffer
and tears down the memory window translation. The 'peer_mw*' file is
only created once the memory window translation is setup by the user.
Additionally, it was noticed that the read and write functions for the
'peer_mw*' files should have checked for a NULL pointer.

ntb_perf: Wait for link before running test
Instead of returning immediately with an error when the link is
down, wait for the link to come up (or the user sends a SIGINT).
This is to make scripting ntb_perf easier.

ntb_perf: Return results by reading the run file
Instead of having to watch logs, allow the results to be retrieved
by reading back the run file. This file will return "running" when
the test is running and nothing if no tests have been run yet.
It returns 1 line per thread, and will display an error message if the
corresponding thread returns an error.
With the above change, the pr_info calls that returned the results are
then changed to pr_debug calls.

ntb_perf: Improve thread handling to increase robustness
This commit accomplishes a few things:
1) Properly prevent multiple sets of threads from running at once using
a mutex. Lots of race issues existed with the thread_cleanup.
2) The mutex allows us to ensure that threads are finished before
tearing down the device or module.
3) Don't use kthread_stop when the threads can exit by themselves, as
this is counter-indicated by the kthread_create documentation. Threads
now wait for kthread_stop to occur.
4) Writing to the run file now blocks until the threads are complete.
The test can then be safely interrupted by a SIGINT.
Also, while I was at it:
5) debugfs_run_write shouldn't return 0 in the early check cases as this
could cause debugfs_run_write to loop undesirably.
