While the sourceforge site for userspace NBD still exists, the code
repository moved to github several years ago. Then with a recent
patch[1], the github landing page contains just as much information as
the sourceforge page, so we might as well point to a single location
that also provides the code.

Remove PARIDE core and high level protocols, taking care not to break
low-level drivers (used by pata_parport). Also update documentation.

The pata_parport is a libata-based replacement of the old PARIDE
subsystem - driver for parallel port IDE devices.
It uses the original paride low-level protocol drivers but does not
need the high-level drivers (pd, pcd, pf, pt, pg). The IDE devices
behind parallel port adapters are handled by the ATA layer.
This will allow paride and its high-level drivers to be removed.
Unfortunately, libata drivers cannot sleep so pata_parport claims
parport before activating the ata host and keeps it claimed (and
protocol connected) until the ata host is removed. This means that
no devices can be chained (neither other pata_parport devices nor
a printer).
paride and pata_parport are mutually exclusive because the compiled
protocol drivers are incompatible.
Tested with:
- Imation SuperDisk LS-120 and HP C4381A (EPAT)
- Freecom Parallel CD (FRPW)
- Toshiba Mobile CD-RW 2793008 w/Freecom Parallel Cable rev.903 (FRIQ)
- Backpack CD-RW 222011 and CD-RW 19350 (BPCK6)
The following bugs in low-level protocol drivers were found and will
be fixed later:
Note: EPP-32 mode is buggy in EPAT - and also in all other protocol
drivers - they don't handle non-multiple-of-4 block transfers
correctly. This causes problems with LS-120 drive.
There is also another bug in EPAT: EPP modes don't work unless a 4-bit
or 8-bit mode is used first (probably some initialization missing?).
Once the device is initialized, EPP works until power cycle.
So after device power on, you have to:
echo "parport0 epat 0" >/sys/bus/pata_parport/new_device
echo pata_parport.0 >/sys/bus/pata_parport/delete_device
echo "parport0 epat 4" >/sys/bus/pata_parport/new_device
(autoprobe will initialize correctly as it tries the slowest modes
first but you'll get the broken EPP-32 mode)
Note: EPP modes are buggy in FRPW, only modes 0 and 1 work.

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 <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (200 commits)
mm: cleanup kstrto*() usage
mm: fix fall-through warnings for Clang
mm: slub: convert sysfs sprintf family to sysfs_emit/sysfs_emit_at
mm: shmem: convert shmem_enabled_show to use sysfs_emit_at
mm:backing-dev: use sysfs_emit in macro defining functions
mm: huge_memory: convert remaining use of sprintf to sysfs_emit and neatening
mm: use sysfs_emit for struct kobject * uses
mm: fix kernel-doc markups
zram: break the strict dependency from lzo
zram: add stat to gather incompressible pages since zram set up
zram: support page writeback
mm/process_vm_access: remove redundant initialization of iov_r
mm/zsmalloc.c: rework the list_add code in insert_zspage()
mm/zswap: move to use crypto_acomp API for hardware acceleration
mm/zswap: fix passing zero to 'PTR_ERR' warning
mm/zswap: make struct kernel_param_ops definitions const
userfaultfd/selftests: hint the test runner on required privilege
userfaultfd/selftests: fix retval check for userfaultfd_open()
userfaultfd/selftests: always dump something in modes
userfaultfd: selftests: make __{s,u}64 format specifiers portable
...
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.
