fbaccacff1 [PATCH] slab: cache_estimate cleanup
Clean up cache_estimate() in mm/slab.c and improves the algorithm from O(n) to
O(1).  We first calculate the maximum number of objects a slab can hold after
struct slab and kmem_bufctl_t for each object has been given enough space.
After that, to respect alignment rules, we decrease the number of objects if
necessary.  As required padding is at most align-1 and memory of obj_size is
at least align, it is always enough to decrease number of objects by one.

The optimization was originally made by Balbir Singh with more improvements
from Steven Rostedt.  Manfred Spraul provider further modifications: no loop
at all for the off-slab case and added comments to explain the background.

e965f9630c [PATCH] Direct Migration V9: Avoid writeback / page_migrate() method
Migrate a page with buffers without requiring writeback

This introduces a new address space operation migratepage() that may be used
by a filesystem to implement its own version of page migration.

A version is provided that migrates buffers attached to pages.  Some
filesystems (ext2, ext3, xfs) are modified to utilize this feature.

The swapper address space operation are modified so that a regular
migrate_page() will occur for anonymous pages without writeback (migrate_pages
forces every anonymous page to have a swap entry).

a48d07afdf [PATCH] Direct Migration V9: migrate_pages() extension
Add direct migration support with fall back to swap.

Direct migration support on top of the swap based page migration facility.

This allows the direct migration of anonymous pages and the migration of file
backed pages by dropping the associated buffers (requires writeout).

Fall back to swap out if necessary.

The patch is based on lots of patches from the hotplug project but the code
was restructured, documented and simplified as much as possible.

Note that an additional patch that defines the migrate_page() method for
filesystems is necessary in order to avoid writeback for anonymous and file
backed pages.

b16664e44c [PATCH] Direct Migration V9: PageSwapCache checks
Check for PageSwapCache after looking up and locking a swap page.

The page migration code may change a swap pte to point to a different page
under lock_page().

If that happens then the vm must retry the lookup operation in the swap space
to find the correct page number.  There are a couple of locations in the VM
where a lock_page() is done on a swap page.  In these locations we need to
check afterwards if the page was migrated.  If the page was migrated then the
old page that was looked up before was freed and no longer has the
PageSwapCache bit set.

2a16e3f4b0 [PATCH] Reclaim slab during zone reclaim
If large amounts of zone memory are used by empty slabs then zone_reclaim
becomes uneffective.  This patch shakes the slab a bit.

The problem with this patch is that the slab reclaim is not containable to a
zone.  Thus slab reclaim may affect the whole system and be extremely slow.
This also means that we cannot determine how many pages were freed in this
zone.  Thus we need to go off node for at least one allocation.

The functionality is disabled by default.

We could modify the shrinkers to take a zone parameter but that would be quite
invasive.  Better ideas are welcome.

1b2ffb7896 [PATCH] Zone reclaim: Allow modification of zone reclaim behavior
In some situations one may want zone_reclaim to behave differently.  For
example a process writing large amounts of memory will spew unto other nodes
to cache the writes if many pages in a zone become dirty.  This may impact the
performance of processes running on other nodes.

Allowing writes during reclaim puts a stop to that behavior and throttles the
process by restricting the pages to the local zone.

Similarly one may want to contain processes to local memory by enabling
regular swap behavior during zone_reclaim.  Off node memory allocation can
then be controlled through memory policies and cpusets.

2a11ff06d7 [PATCH] zone_reclaim: configurable off node allocation period.
Currently the zone_reclaim code has a fixed window of 30 seconds of off node
allocations should a local zone have no unused pagecache pages left.  Reclaim
will be attempted again after this timeout period to avoid repeated useless
scans for memory.  This is also useful to established sufficiently large off
node allocation chunks to relieve the local node.

It may be beneficial to adjust that time period for some special situations.
For example if memory use was exceeding node capacity one may want to give up
for longer periods of time.  If memory spikes intermittendly then one may want
to shorten the time period to reduce the number of off node allocations.

This patch allows just that....

only a portion of the pages and gradually scan more if we do not free up
enough pages.  This avoids a zone suddenly loosing all unused pagecache

chance) but it still frees up large chunks of memory if a zone only
contains unused pagecache pages.

2.6.15's hugepage faulting introduced huge_pages_needed accounting into
hugetlbfs: to count how many pages are already in cache, for spot check on
how far a new mapping may be allowed to extend the file.  But it's muddled:
each hugepage found covers HPAGE_SIZE, not PAGE_SIZE.  Once pages were
already in cache, it would overshoot, wrap its hugepages count backwards,
and so fail a harmless repeat mapping with -ENOMEM.  Fixes the problem
found by Don Dupuis.

42c722d4cb [PATCH] zone_reclaim: reclaim on memory only node support
Zone reclaim is usually only run on the local node.  Headless nodes do not
have any local processors.  This patch checks for headless nodes and
performs zone reclaim on them.

8928862398 [PATCH] Optimize off-node performance of zone reclaim
Ensure that the performance of off node pages stays the same as before.
Off node pagefault tests showed an 18% drop in performance without this
patch.

- Increase the timeout to 30 seconds to reduce the overhead.

- Move all code possible out of the off node hot path for zone reclaim
  (Sorry Andrew, the struct initialization had to be sacrificed).
  The read_page_state() bit us there.

- Check first for the timeout before any other checks.

537421be79 [PATCH] Mark CONFIG_UFS_FS_WRITE as BROKEN
OpenBSD doesn't see "." correctly in directories created by Linux.  Copying
files over several KB will buy you infinite loop in __getblk_slow().
Copying files smaller than 1 KB seems to be OK.  Sometimes files will be
filled with zeros.  Sometimes incorrectly copied file will reappear after
next file with truncated size.

c125a1838a [PATCH] powerpc: Add flattened device tree documentation
The flattened device tree is the only supported way of booting ARCH=powerpc
kernels on non Open Firmware machines.  The documentation for the flattened
tree format and contents has been discussed on mailing lists and lately has
been living in the dtc git tree.  Really, it ought to go in the kernel's
Documentation directory for maximum visibility.

bfaa1deeb9 [PATCH] disable lost tick compensation before TSCs are synced
Avoid lost tick compensation early in boot before the TSCs are
synchronized.  Currently timekeeping is enabled before the TSCs are
synchronized, thus when the TSCs are synched (reset to zero), it appears
that a number of lost ticks have occurred.  This can cause premature expiry
of timers and in extreme cases can cause the soft lockup detection to fire.

This resolves issues reported by Andy Whitcroft as well as bug #5366
reported by Tim Mann.

2f7016d917 [PATCH] sys_sched_getaffinity() & hotplug
Change sched_getaffinity() so that it returns a bitmap that indicates the
legally schedulable cpus that a task is allowed to run on.

Without this patch, if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled, sched_getaffinity()
unconditionally returns (at least on IA64) a mask with NR_CPUS bits set.
This conveys no useful infornmation except for a kernel compile option.

This fixes a breakage we obseved running recent kernels. We have MPI jobs
that use sched_getaffinity() to determine where to place their threads.
Placing them on non-existant cpus is problematic :-)

c27a0d75b3 [PATCH] Introduce __iowrite32_copy
This arch-independent routine copies data to a memory-mapped I/O region,
using 32-bit accesses.  The naming is double-underscored to make it clear
that it does not guarantee write ordering, nor does it perform a memory
barrier afterwards; the kernel doc also explicitly states this.  This style
of access is required by some devices.

This change also introduces include/linux/io.h, at Andrew's suggestion.  It
only has one occupant at the moment, but is a logical destination for
oft-replicated contents of include/asm-*/{io,iomap}.h to migrate to.
