Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> says:
This is a respin of the series[0] to address the sleep in atomic
scenarios for noref migration with large folios, introduced in:
3c20917120 ("block/bdev: enable large folio support for large logical block sizes")
The main difference is that it removes the first patch and moves the fix
(reducing the i_private_lock critical region in the migration path) to
the final patch, which also introduces the new BH_Migrate flag. It also
simplifies the locking scheme in patch 1 to avoid folio trylocking in
the atomic lookup cases. So essentially blocking users will take the
folio lock and hence wait for migration, and otherwise nonblocking
callers will bail the lookup if a noref migration is on-going. Blocking
callers will also benefit from potential performance gains by reducing
contention on the spinlock for bdev mappings.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
