docs: kernel-parameter: Improve the description of nr_cpus and maxcpus
From the old description people still can't get what's the exact
difference between nr_cpus and maxcpus. Especially in kdump kernel
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
in system, the sum of already plugged cpus and hot plug cpus can't
exceed its value. However maxcpus is used to limit how many cpus
are allowed to be brought up during bootup.

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

Moved the *duplicate C object description* warnings for function
declarations in the nitpicky mode. In nitpick mode, you can suppress
those warnings (e.g. ioctl) with::
nitpicky = True
nitpick_ignore = [
("c:func", "ioctl"),
]
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-
namespace and we need no longer to distinguish between c/cpp references,
when we refer a function like the ioctl.

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"

In the single host case, the script just needs to be passed two

be SSH accessible and should probably have ssh-keys exchanged).

Once that was fixed, there was found to be a race if the link was

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.

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.

ntb_perf: Schedule based on time not on performance
When debugging performance problems, if some issue causes the ntb
hardware to be significantly slower than expected, ntb_perf will
hang requiring a reboot because it only schedules once every 4GB.
Instead, schedule based on jiffies so it will not hang the CPU if
the transfer is slow.

ntb_transport: Check the number of spads the hardware supports
I'm working on hardware that currently has a limited number of
scratchpad registers and ntb_ndev fails with no clue as to why. I
feel it is better to fail early and provide a reasonable error message
then to fail later on.
The same is done to ntb_perf, but it doesn't currently require enough
spads to actually fail. I've also removed the unused SPAD_MSG and
SPAD_ACK enums so that MAX_SPAD accurately reflects the number of
spads used.

ntb_tool: Add memory window debug support
We allocate some memory window buffers when the link comes up, then we
provide debugfs files to read/write each side of the link.
This is useful for debugging the mapping when writing new drivers.
