From 0102c8c7fdfc4bd700971daff2b94470f4eafae4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dapeng Mi Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 09:52:33 +0800 Subject: perf/x86/intel: Rename DMR offcore_rsp attribute to offmodule_rsp DMR introduces Offmodule Response events in place of the legacy Offcore Response events, but it still exposes the inherited offcore_rsp PMU attribute for programming the corresponding MSR data. Rename the DMR PMU attribute to offmodule_rsp so the sysfs interface matches the underlying event name and avoids user & tooling confusion.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +High Level Design +================= + +An ext4 file system is split into a series of block groups. To reduce +performance difficulties due to fragmentation, the block allocator tries +very hard to keep each file's blocks within the same group, thereby +reducing seek times. The size of a block group is specified in +``sb.s_blocks_per_group`` blocks, though it can also calculated as 8 * +``block_size_in_bytes``. With the default block size of 4KiB, each group +will contain 32,768 blocks, for a length of 128MiB. The number of block +groups is the size of the device divided by the size of a block group. + +All fields in ext4 are written to disk in little-endian order. HOWEVER, +all fields in jbd2 (the journal) are written to disk in big-endian +order. + +.. toctree:: + + blocks + blockgroup + special_inodes + allocators + checksums + bigalloc + inlinedata + eainode + verity + atomic_writes -- cgit v1.3.1
