There is a nice new document from Neil on how pathname lookups work and 

some new CAN driver documentation.  Beyond that, we have kernel-doc fixes,
 a bit more work to support reproducible builds, and the usual collection of
 small fixes.

There are several ways to configure and manage zram device(-s):
a) using zram and zram_control sysfs attributes
b) using zramctl utility, provided by util-linux (util-linux@vger.kernel.org).
In this document we will describe only 'manual' zram configuration steps,
IOW, zram and zram_control sysfs attributes.
In order to get a better idea about zramctl please consult util-linux
documentation, zramctl man-page or `zramctl --help'. Please be informed
that zram maintainers do not develop/maintain util-linux or zramctl, should
you have any questions please contact util-linux@vger.kernel.org

For the sake of simplicity we skip error checking parts in most of the
examples below. However, it is your sole responsibility to handle errors.
zram sysfs attributes always return negative values in case of errors.

the device has been initialised. Please reset device first;
-ENOMEM -- zram was not able to allocate enough memory to fulfil your
needs;
-EINVAL -- invalid input has been provided.

When configuring CAN FD capable CAN controllers an additional 'data' bitrate

second bitrate is specified analogue to the first bitrate but the bitrate

option also switches the device MTU to 72 (CANFD_MTU).
The first CAN FD specification presented as whitepaper at the International
CAN Conference 2012 needed to be improved for data integrity reasons.
Therefore two CAN FD implementations have to be distinguished today:
- ISO compliant: The ISO 11898-1:2015 CAN FD implementation (default)
- non-ISO compliant: The CAN FD implementation following the 2012 whitepaper
Finally there are three types of CAN FD controllers:
1. ISO compliant (fixed)
2. non-ISO compliant (fixed, like the M_CAN IP core v3.0.1 in m_can.c)
3. ISO/non-ISO CAN FD controllers (switchable, like the PEAK PCAN-USB FD)
The current ISO/non-ISO mode is announced by the CAN controller driver via
netlink and displayed by the 'ip' tool (controller option FD-NON-ISO).
The ISO/non-ISO-mode can be altered by setting 'fd-non-iso {on|off}' for
switchable CAN FD controllers only.
Example configuring 500 kbit/s arbitration bitrate and 4 Mbit/s data bitrate:
$ ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 500000 sample-point 0.75 \
dbitrate 4000000 dsample-point 0.8 fd on
$ ip -details link show can0
5: can0: <NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP,ECHO> mtu 72 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN \
mode DEFAULT group default qlen 10
link/can promiscuity 0
can <FD> state ERROR-ACTIVE (berr-counter tx 0 rx 0) restart-ms 0
bitrate 500000 sample-point 0.750
tq 50 prop-seg 14 phase-seg1 15 phase-seg2 10 sjw 1
pcan_usb_pro_fd: tseg1 1..64 tseg2 1..16 sjw 1..16 brp 1..1024 \
brp-inc 1
dbitrate 4000000 dsample-point 0.800
dtq 12 dprop-seg 7 dphase-seg1 8 dphase-seg2 4 dsjw 1
pcan_usb_pro_fd: dtseg1 1..16 dtseg2 1..8 dsjw 1..4 dbrp 1..1024 \
dbrp-inc 1
clock 80000000
Example when 'fd-non-iso on' is added on this switchable CAN FD adapter:
can <FD,FD-NON-ISO> state ERROR-ACTIVE (berr-counter tx 0 rx 0) restart-ms 0

Extended slabinfo mode and plotting
-----------------------------------
The slabinfo tool has a special 'extended' ('-X') mode that includes:
- Slabcache Totals
- Slabs sorted by size (up to -N <num> slabs, default 1)
- Slabs sorted by loss (up to -N <num> slabs, default 1)
Additionally, in this mode slabinfo does not dynamically scale sizes (G/M/K)
and reports everything in bytes (this functionality is also available to
other slabinfo modes via '-B' option) which makes reporting more precise and
accurate. Moreover, in some sense the `-X' mode also simplifies the analysis
of slabs' behaviour, because its output can be plotted using the
slabinfo-gnuplot.sh script. So it pushes the analysis from looking through
the numbers (tons of numbers) to something easier -- visual analysis.
To generate plots:
a) collect slabinfo extended records, for example:
while [ 1 ]; do slabinfo -X >> FOO_STATS; sleep 1; done
b) pass stats file(-s) to slabinfo-gnuplot.sh script:
slabinfo-gnuplot.sh FOO_STATS [FOO_STATS2 .. FOO_STATSN]
The slabinfo-gnuplot.sh script will pre-processes the collected records
and generates 3 png files (and 3 pre-processing cache files) per STATS
file:
- Slabcache Totals: FOO_STATS-totals.png
- Slabs sorted by size: FOO_STATS-slabs-by-size.png
- Slabs sorted by loss: FOO_STATS-slabs-by-loss.png
Another use case, when slabinfo-gnuplot can be useful, is when you need
to compare slabs' behaviour "prior to" and "after" some code modification.
To help you out there, slabinfo-gnuplot.sh script can 'merge' the
`Slabcache Totals` sections from different measurements. To visually
compare N plots:
a) Collect as many STATS1, STATS2, .. STATSN files as you need
while [ 1 ]; do slabinfo -X >> STATS<X>; sleep 1; done
b) Pre-process those STATS files
slabinfo-gnuplot.sh STATS1 STATS2 .. STATSN
c) Execute slabinfo-gnuplot.sh in '-t' mode, passing all of the
generated pre-processed *-totals
slabinfo-gnuplot.sh -t STATS1-totals STATS2-totals .. STATSN-totals
This will produce a single plot (png file).
Plots, expectedly, can be large so some fluctuations or small spikes
can go unnoticed. To deal with that, `slabinfo-gnuplot.sh' has two
options to 'zoom-in'/'zoom-out':
a) -s %d,%d overwrites the default image width and heigh
b) -r %d,%d specifies a range of samples to use (for example,
in `slabinfo -X >> FOO_STATS; sleep 1;' case, using
a "-r 40,60" range will plot only samples collected
between 40th and 60th seconds).
