Merge tag 'i3c/for-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/i3c/linuxgrafted
Pull I3C updates from Alexandre Belloni: "A new driver this cycle, for the AMD AXI I3C controller. There are also new features such as IBI wakeup support, SETAASA device discovery and ACPI support for the the DAA methods, meaning we can now communicate with the SPD devices on DDR5 modules. New driver: - AMD AXI I3C master controller Subsystem: - I3C Common Command Code (CCC) handling improvements, especially around GET CCCs - SETAASA device discovery support - ACPI support for all existing DAA methods like SETDASA, SETNEWDA as well as I2C devices on I3C bus - IBI-based wakeup support Drivers: - dw: SETAASA support - mipi-i3c-hci: advertise IBI wakeup capability, AMD_PT I3C controller support, PIO queue management support for HCI v1.2 - renesas: improve suspend to RAM support, add runtime PM support" * tag 'i3c/for-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/i3c/linux: (70 commits) i3c: dw: reduce do_daa time if there's no client i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Add support for AMD_PT I3C controller i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Add PIO queue management support for HCI v1.2 i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Fix missing STAT_IBI_STATUS_THLD in PIO mode i3c: dw: rename "pclk" to "apb" to match dt-binding i3c: dw: make struct dw_i3c_cmd smaller i3c: dw: use COMMAND_PORT_TRANSFER_ARG instead of hardcoding i3c: renesas: Don't register devices when ENTDAA times out i3c: master: dw-i3c-master: fix OD timing for first broadcast i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Advertise IBI wakeup capability i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Factor out i3c_hci_sysdev() i3c: mipi-i3c-hci-pci: Propagate I3C wakeup requirements to PCI i3c: master: Reject IBI requests from non-IBI-capable devices i3c: master: Add helper to query bus wakeup requirements i3c: master: Report wakeup events for IBIs i3c: master: Support IBI-based wakeup capability i3c: master: Fix potential UAF in i3c_device_match() i3c: master: Fix potential UAF in i3c_device_uevent() i3c: Make dev->desc locking assumptions explicit i3c: master: Fix use-after-free of master->this ...

+What: /sys/class/bdi/<bdi>/
+Date: January 2008
+Contact: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>
+Description:
+
+Provide a place in sysfs for the backing_dev_info object. This allows
+setting and retrieving various BDI specific variables.
+
+The <bdi> identifier can be either of the following:
+
+MAJOR:MINOR
+
+ Device number for block devices, or value of st_dev on
+ non-block filesystems which provide their own BDI, such as NFS
+ and FUSE.
+
+MAJOR:MINOR-fuseblk
+
+ Value of st_dev on fuseblk filesystems.
+
+default
+
+ The default backing dev, used for non-block device backed
+ filesystems which do not provide their own BDI.

+Date: January 2008
+Contact: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>
+Description:
+ Under normal circumstances each device is given a part of the
+ total write-back cache that relates to its current average
+ writeout speed in relation to the other devices.
+
+ The 'min_ratio' parameter allows assigning a minimum
+ percentage of the write-back cache to a particular device.
+ For example, this is useful for providing a minimum QoS.

+Description:
+ Under normal circumstances each device is given a part of the
+ total write-back cache that relates to its current average
+ writeout speed in relation to the other devices.
+
+ The 'min_ratio_fine' parameter allows assigning a minimum reserve
+ of the write-back cache to a particular device. The value is
+ expressed as part of 1 million. For example, this is useful for
+ providing a minimum QoS.

+What: /sys/class/bdi/<bdi>/max_ratio
+Date: January 2008
+Contact: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>
+Description:
+ Allows limiting a particular device to use not more than the
+ given percentage of the write-back cache. This is useful in
+ situations where we want to avoid one device taking all or
+ most of the write-back cache. For example in case of an NFS
+ mount that is prone to get stuck, or a FUSE mount which cannot
+ be trusted to play fair.

+Date: October 2022
+Contact: Stefan Roesch <shr@devkernel.io>
+Description:
+ Forces per-BDI checks for the share of given device in the write-back
+ cache even before the global background dirty limit is reached. This
+ is useful in situations where the global limit is much higher than
+ affordable for given relatively slow (or untrusted) device. Turning
+ strictlimit on has no visible effect if max_ratio is equal to 100%.
