Several documentation changes. First, we never mentioned any errors and never required any error checks in documentation. Second, mention that there is another way to configure and manage zram devices -- zramctl, provided by util-linux. Third, add a bit of clarification on why `mem_used_max' attr is RW and correct some typos.

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo: "The threadgroup locking changes which went in during 4.2 devel cycle added write locking of a percpu_rwsem in cgroup task migration path; unfortunately, that involved expedited rcu syncing which turned out to be too slow and heavy for certain workloads. The patchset which is dependent on this one didn't get committed during that devel cycle, so these two patches can be reverted safely. Oleg reworked percpu_rwsem for 4.4 so that the writer path is a lot lighter. The reported issue goes away with Oleg's reworked percpu_rwsem and I'll reapply these patches on the for-4.4 branch so that they can land together with Oleg's changes" * 'for-4.3-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: Revert "sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem" Revert "cgroup: simplify threadgroup locking"

Commit 505a666e ("writeback: plug writeback in wb_writeback() and writeback_inodes_wb()") has us holding a plug during writeback_sb_inodes, which increases the merge rate when relatively contiguous small files are written by the filesystem. It helps both on flash and spindles. For an fs_mark workload creating 4K files in parallel across 8 drives, this commit improves performance ~9% more by unplugging before calling cond_resched(). cond_resched() doesn't trigger an implicit unplug, so explicitly getting the IO down to the device before scheduling reduces latencies for anyone waiting on clean pages. It also cuts down on how often we use kblockd to unplug, which means less work bouncing from one workqueue to another. Many more details about how we got here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/11/570Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <clm@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Tyler Baker authored
The various definitions of __pfn_to_phys() have been consolidated to use a generic macro in include/asm-generic/memory_model.h. This hit mainline in the form of 012dcef3 "mm: move __phys_to_pfn and __pfn_to_phys to asm/generic/memory_model.h". When the generic macro was implemented the type cast to phys_addr_t was dropped which caused boot regressions on ARM platforms with more than 4GB of memory and LPAE enabled. It was suggested to use PFN_PHYS() defined in include/linux/pfn.h as provides the correct logic and avoids further duplication.
