Fix breakage caused by commit 8314418629
that did not introduce the necessary call to set_freezable() in
xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_buf.c .

d1afb678ce [XFS] Fixed a few bugs in xfs_buf_associate_memory()
- calculation of 'page_count' was incorrect as it did not
  consider the offset of 'mem' into the first page. The
  logic to bump 'page_count' didn't work if 'len' was <=
  PAGE_CACHE_SIZE (ie offset = 3k, len = 2k).
- setting b_buffer_length to 'len' is incorrect if 'offset'
  is > 0. Set it to the total length of the buffer.
- I suspect that passing a non-aligned address into
  mem_to_page() for the first page may have been causing
  issues - don't know but just tidy up that code anyway.

7f01507234 [XFS] eagerly remove vmap mappings to avoid upsetting Xen
XFS leaves stray mappings around when it vmaps memory to make it virtually
contigious. This upsets Xen if one of those pages is being recycled into a
pagetable, since it finds an extra writable mapping of the page.

This patch solves the problem in a brute force way, by making XFS always
eagerly unmap its mappings.

0bfefc46dc [XFS] Barriers need to be dynamically checked and switched off
If the underlying block device suddenly stops supporting barriers, we need
to handle the -EOPNOTSUPP error in a sane manner rather than shutting
down the filesystem. If we get this error, clear the barrier flag, reissue

8e1f936b73 mm: clean up and kernelify shrinker registration
I can never remember what the function to register to receive VM pressure
is called.  I have to trace down from __alloc_pages() to find it.

It's called "set_shrinker()", and it needs Your Help.

1) Don't hide struct shrinker.  It contains no magic.
2) Don't allocate "struct shrinker".  It's not helpful.
3) Call them "register_shrinker" and "unregister_shrinker".
4) Call the function "shrink" not "shrinker".
5) Reduce the 17 lines of waffly comments to 13, but document it properly.

7989cb8ef5 [XFS] Keep stack usage down for 4k stacks by using noinline.
gcc-4.1 and more recent aggressively inline static functions which
increases XFS stack usage by ~15% in critical paths. Prevent this from
occurring by adding noinline to the STATIC definition.

Also uninline some functions that are too large to be inlined and were
causing problems with CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING=y.

Finally, clean up all the different users of inline, __inline and
__inline__ and put them under one STATIC_INLINE macro. For debug kernels
the STATIC_INLINE macro uninlines those functions.

5e6a07dfe4 [XFS] Current usage of buftarg flags is incorrect.
The {test,set,clear}_bit() operations take a bit index for the bit to
operate on. The XBT_* flags are defined as bit fields which is incorrect,
not to mention the way the bit fields are enumerated is broken too. This
was only working by chance.

Fix the definitions of the flags and make the code using them use the
{test,set,clear}_bit() operations correctly.

585e6d8856 [XFS] Fix a synchronous buftarg flush deadlock when freezing.
At the last stage of a freeze, we flush the buftarg synchronously over and
over again until it succeeds twice without skipping any buffers.

The delwri list flush skips pinned buffers, but tries to flush all others.
It removes the buffers from the delwri list, then tries to lock them one
at a time as it traverses the list to issue the I/O. It holds them locked
until we issue all of the I/O and then unlocks them once we've waited for
it to complete.

The problem is that during a freeze, the filesystem may still be doing
stuff - like flushing delalloc data buffers - in the background and hence
we can be trying to lock buffers that were on the delwri list at the same
time. Hence we can get ABBA deadlocks between threads doing allocation and
the buftarg flush (freeze) thread.

Fix it by skipping locked (and pinned) buffers as we traverse the delwri
buffer list.

3fcfab16c5 [PATCH] separate bdi congestion functions from queue congestion functions
Separate out the concept of "queue congestion" from "backing-dev congestion".
Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept.

The blk_* congestion functions are retained, as wrappers around the core
backing-dev congestion functions.

This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion
functions, and so that CONFIG_BLOCK=n actually links.

f07c225036 [XFS] Improve xfsbufd delayed write submission patterns, after blktrace
analysis.

Under a sequential create+allocate workload, blktrace reported backward
writes being issued by xfsbufd, and frequent inappropriate queue unplugs.
We now insert at the tail when moving from the delwri lists to the temp
lists, which maintains correct ordering, and we avoid unplugging queues
deep in the submit paths when we'd shortly do it at a higher level anyway.
blktrace now reports much healthier write patterns from xfsbufd for this
workload (and likely many others).

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).

f538d4da8d [XFS] write barrier support Issue all log sync operations as ordered
writes.  In addition flush the disk cache on fsync if the sync cached
operation didn't sync the log to disk (this requires some additional
bookeping in the transaction and log code). If the device doesn't claim to
support barriers, the filesystem has an extern log volume or the trial
superblock write with barriers enabled failed we disable barriers and
print a warning.  We should probably fail the mount completely, but that
could lead to nasty boot failures for the root filesystem.  Not enabled by
default yet, needs more destructive testing first.

4c21e2f244 [PATCH] mm: split page table lock
Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with
a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of
a large anonymous area.

This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to
guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single
page_table_lock.  (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page
table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.)

In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the
page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in
the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled.

Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access.  Ideally,
I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on
multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs.
So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig
language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with
NR_CPUS.  But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good
testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps
change that to 8 later.

There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking
one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

27496a8c67 [PATCH] gfp_t: fs/*
- ->releasepage() annotated (s/int/gfp_t), instances updated
 - missing gfp_t in fs/* added
 - fixed misannotation from the original sweep caught by bitwise checks:
   XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator.
   The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a
   different type for those but for now let's leave them alone.  That,
   BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had
   been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with
   no way to catch misuses.  Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that
   immediately...

One tricky bit is left alone to be dealt with later - mapping->flags is
a mix of gfp_t and error indications.  Left alone for now.

Use schedule_timeout_{,un}interruptible() instead of
set_current_state()/schedule_timeout() to reduce kernel size.  Also use helper
functions to convert between human time units and jiffies rather than constant
HZ division to avoid rounding errors.
