Commit ef548c551e ("dm flakey: introduce "error_writes" feature")
added the ability to dm flakey to error out writes in contrast to
silently dropping it with 'drop_writes'. Unfortunately this feature
is not currently documented and one has to be either familiar with the
source code of dm flakey or check out xfstests sources to know of
this parameter. So document it.

My eyesight is not in good shape, which means that I have difficulty
reading the online Linux documentation. Specifically, body text is
oddly small compared to list items and the contrast of various text
elements is too low for me to be able to see easily.
Therefore, alter the HTML theme overrides to make the text larger and
increase the contrast for better visibility, and trust the typeface
choices of the reader's browser.
For the PDF output, increase the text size, use a sans-serif typeface
for sans-serif text, and use a serif typeface for "roman" serif text.

This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned)
and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct
way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox.
The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present
in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their
usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal
the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as
a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise
anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers)
A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really
needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps
it is time to just throw them out.
A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first
counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last
is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX.
List of outdated 00-INDEX:
Documentation: (4/10)
Documentation/sysctl: (0/1)
Documentation/timers: (1/0)
Documentation/blockdev: (3/1)
Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1)
Documentation/locking: (0/1)
Documentation/devicetree: (0/5)
Documentation/power: (1/1)
Documentation/powerpc: (0/5)
Documentation/arm: (1/0)
Documentation/x86: (0/9)
Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1)
Documentation/scsi: (4/4)
Documentation/filesystems: (2/9)
Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2)
Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2)
Documentation/kbuild: (0/4)
Documentation/spi: (1/0)
Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0)
Documentation/scheduler: (0/2)
Documentation/fb: (0/1)
Documentation/block: (0/1)
Documentation/networking: (6/37)
Documentation/vm: (1/3)
Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that
are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no
00-INDEX).
I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX,
but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If
we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not
if we just want to delete them anyway.
As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and
see where the discussion is going.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.19_dax-memory-failure' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm memory-failure update from Dave Jiang:
"As it stands, memory_failure() gets thoroughly confused by dev_pagemap
backed mappings. The recovery code has specific enabling for several
possible page states and needs new enabling to handle poison in dax
mappings.
In order to support reliable reverse mapping of user space addresses:
1/ Add new locking in the memory_failure() rmap path to prevent races
that would typically be handled by the page lock.
2/ Since dev_pagemap pages are hidden from the page allocator and the
"compound page" accounting machinery, add a mechanism to determine
the size of the mapping that encompasses a given poisoned pfn.
3/ Given pmem errors can be repaired, change the speculatively
accessed poison protection, mce_unmap_kpfn(), to be reversible and
otherwise allow ongoing access from the kernel.
A side effect of this enabling is that MADV_HWPOISON becomes usable
for dax mappings, however the primary motivation is to allow the
system to survive userspace consumption of hardware-poison via dax.
Specifically the current behavior is:
mce: Uncorrected hardware memory error in user-access at af34214200
{1}[Hardware Error]: It has been corrected by h/w and requires no further action
mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged
{1}[Hardware Error]: event severity: corrected
Memory failure: 0xaf34214: reserved kernel page still referenced by 1 users
[..]
Memory failure: 0xaf34214: recovery action for reserved kernel page: Failed
mce: Memory error not recovered
<reboot>
...and with these changes:
Injecting memory failure for pfn 0x20cb00 at process virtual address 0x7f763dd00000
Memory failure: 0x20cb00: Killing dax-pmd:5421 due to hardware memory corruption
Memory failure: 0x20cb00: recovery action for dax page: Recovered
Given all the cross dependencies I propose taking this through
nvdimm.git with acks from Naoya, x86/core, x86/RAS, and of course dax
folks"

This is not normally noticeable, but repeated forks are unnecessarily
expensive because they repeatedly dirty the parent page tables during
the page table copy operation.
It's trivial to just avoid write protecting the page table entry if it
was already not writable.
This patch was inspired by
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200447
which points to an ancient "waste time re-doing fork" issue in the
presence of lots of signals.
That bug was fixed by Eric Biederman's signal handling series
culminating in commit c3ad2c3b02 ("signal: Don't restart fork when
signals come in"), but the unnecessary work for repeated forks is still
work just fixing, particularly since the fix is trivial.
