speakup: Document bleeps parameter values

2026-04-02T15:05:49+00:00

The speakup documentation had a TODO about accepted values for the bleeps parameter. drivers/accessibility/speakup/main.c indicates that it's a bitmasked param where bit 0 controls beeping and bit 1 controls announcements.

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe: - Support for batch request processing for ublk, improving the efficiency of the kernel/ublk server communication. This can yield nice 7-12% performance improvements - Support for integrity data for ublk - Various other ublk improvements and additions, including a ton of selftests additions and updated - Move the handling of blk-crypto software fallback from below the block layer to above it. This reduces the complexity of dealing with bio splitting - Series fixing a number of potential deadlocks in blk-mq related to the queue usage counter and writeback throttling and rq-qos debugfs handling - Add an async_depth queue attribute, to resolve a performance regression that's been around for a qhilw related to the scheduler depth handling - Only use task_work for IOPOLL completions on NVMe, if it is necessary to do so. An earlier fix for an issue resulted in all these completions being punted to task_work, to guarantee that completions were only run for a given io_uring ring when it was local to that ring. With the new changes, we can detect if it's necessary to use task_work or not, and avoid it if possible. - rnbd fixes: - Fix refcount underflow in device unmap path - Handle PREFLUSH and NOUNMAP flags properly in protocol - Fix server-side bi_size for special IOs - Zero response buffer before use - Fix trace format for flags - Add .release to rnbd_dev_ktype - MD pull requests via Yu Kuai - Fix raid5_run() to return error when log_init() fails - Fix IO hang with degraded array with llbitmap - Fix percpu_ref not resurrected on suspend timeout in llbitmap - Fix GPF in write_page caused by resize race - Fix NULL pointer dereference in process_metadata_update - Fix hang when stopping arrays with metadata through dm-raid - Fix any_working flag handling in raid10_sync_request - Refactor sync/recovery code path, improve error handling for badblocks, and remove unused recovery_disabled field - Consolidate mddev boolean fields into mddev_flags - Use mempool to allocate stripe_request_ctx and make sure max_sectors is not less than io_opt in raid5 - Fix return value of mddev_trylock - Fix memory leak in raid1_run() - Add Li Nan as mdraid reviewer - Move phys_vec definitions to the kernel types, mostly in preparation for some VFIO and RDMA changes - Improve the speed for secure erase for some devices - Various little rust updates - Various other minor fixes, improvements, and cleanups * tag 'for-7.0/block-20260206' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux: (162 commits) blk-mq: ABI/sysfs-block: fix docs build warnings selftests: ublk: organize test directories by test ID block: decouple secure erase size limit from discard size limit block: remove redundant kill_bdev() call in set_blocksize() blk-mq: add documentation for new queue attribute async_dpeth block, bfq: convert to use request_queue->async_depth mq-deadline: covert to use request_queue->async_depth kyber: covert to use request_queue->async_depth blk-mq: add a new queue sysfs attribute async_depth blk-mq: factor out a helper blk_mq_limit_depth() blk-mq-sched: unify elevators checking for async requests block: convert nr_requests to unsigned int block: don't use strcpy to copy blockdev name blk-mq-debugfs: warn about possible deadlock blk-mq-debugfs: add missing debugfs_mutex in blk_mq_debugfs_register_hctxs() blk-mq-debugfs: remove blk_mq_debugfs_unregister_rqos() blk-mq-debugfs: make blk_mq_debugfs_register_rqos() static blk-rq-qos: fix possible debugfs_mutex deadlock blk-mq-debugfs: factor out a helper to register debugfs for all rq_qos blk-wbt: fix possible deadlock to nest pcpu_alloc_mutex under q_usage_counter ...
