blk-throttle: remove CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING_LOW

2024-05-09T15:44:55Z

One the one hand, it's marked EXPERIMENTAL since 2017, and looks like there are no users since then, and no testers and no developers, it's just not active at all. On the other hand, even if the config is disabled, there are still many fields in throtl_grp and throtl_data and many functions that are only used for throtl low. At last, currently blk-throtl is initialized during disk initialization, and destroyed during disk removal, and it exposes many functions to be called directly from block layer. Remove throtl low to make code much more cleaner and follow up work much easier.

block: add a partscan sysfs attribute for disks

2024-05-03T15:00:07Z

Userspace had been unknowingly relying on a non-stable interface of kernel internals to determine if partition scanning is enabled for a given disk. Provide a stable interface for this purpose instead.

bus: mhi: host: Add sysfs entry to force device to enter EDL

2024-04-25T14:46:42Z

Add sysfs entry to allow users of MHI bus to force device to enter EDL (Emergency Download) mode to download the device firmware. Since there is no guarantee that all the devices will support EDL mode, the sysfs entry is kept as an optional one and will appear only for the supported devices. Controllers supporting the EDL mode are expected to provide edl_trigger() callback that puts the device into EDL mode.

Documentation: Mark the 'efivars' sysfs interface as removed

2024-04-13T08:33:02Z

The 'efivars' sysfs interface was removed in commit 0f5b2c69a4cb ("efi: vars: Remove deprecated 'efivars' sysfs interface"), but the ABI documentation was not updated properly. Strip down the documentation file for /sys/firmware/efi/vars to a very basic description of what the interface was about, add a section about the rough removal timeline, and inform the reader about the intended replacement.

dmaengine: idxd: add wq driver name support for accel-config user tool

2023-10-04T07:30:34Z

With the possibility of multiple wq drivers that can be bound to the wq, the user config tool accel-config needs a way to know which wq driver to bind to the wq. Introduce per wq driver_name sysfs attribute where the user can indicate the driver to be bound to the wq. This allows accel-config to just bind to the driver using wq->driver_name.
