7fb1d9fca5 [PATCH] mm: __alloc_pages cleanup
Clean up of __alloc_pages.

Restoration of previous behaviour, plus further cleanups by introducing an
'alloc_flags', removing the last of should_reclaim_zone.

51c6f666fc [PATCH] mm: ZAP_BLOCK causes redundant work
The address based work estimate for unmapping (for lockbreak) is and always
was horribly inefficient for sparse mappings.  The problem is most simply
explained with an example:

If we find a pgd is clear, we still have to call into unmap_page_range
PGDIR_SIZE / ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE times, each time checking the clear pgd, in
order to progress the working address to the next pgd.

The fundamental way to solve the problem is to keep track of the end
address we've processed and pass it back to the higher layers.

From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>

  Modification to completely get away from address based work estimate
  and instead use an abstract count, with a very small cost for empty
  entries as opposed to present pages.

  On 2.6.14-git2, ppc64, and CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, mapping and unmapping 1TB
  of virtual address space takes 1.69s; with the following patch applied,
  this operation can be done 1000 times in less than 0.01s

From: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>

With CONFIG_HUTETLB_PAGE=n:

mm/memory.c: In function `unmap_vmas':
mm/memory.c:779: warning: division by zero

Due to

			zap_work -= (end - start) /
					(HPAGE_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE);

So make the dummy HPAGE_SIZE non-zero

885036d32f [PATCH] mm: __GFP_NOFAIL fix
In __alloc_pages():

if ((p->flags & (PF_MEMALLOC | PF_MEMDIE)) && !in_interrupt()) {
         /* go through the zonelist yet again, ignoring mins */
         for (i = 0; zones[i] != NULL; i++) {
                 struct zone *z = zones[i];

                 page = buffered_rmqueue(z, order, gfp_mask);
                 if (page) {
                         zone_statistics(zonelist, z);
                         goto got_pg;
                 }
         }
         goto nopage;                <<<< HERE!!! FAIL...
}

kswapd (which has PF_MEMALLOC flag) can fail to allocate memory even when
it allocates it with __GFP_NOFAIL flag.

95e861db3e [PATCH] reorder struct files_struct
The file_lock spinlock sits close to mostly read fields of 'struct
files_struct'

In SMP (and NUMA) environments, each time a thread wants to open or close
a file, it has to acquire the spinlock, thus invalidating the cache line
containing this spinlock on other CPUS.  So other threads doing
read()/write()/...  calls that use RCU to access the file table are going
to ask further memory (possibly NUMA) transactions to read again this
memory line.

Move the spinlock to another cache line, so that concurrent threads can
share the cache line containing 'count' and 'fdt' fields.

It's worth up to 9% on a microbenchmark using a 4-thread 2-package x86
machine.  See

The patch

 introduced a pretty nasty memory leak in the lease code. When freeing
 the lease, the code in locks_delete_lock() will correctly clean up
 the fasync queue, but when we return to fcntl_setlease(), the freed
 fasync entry will be reinstated.

 This patch ensures that we skip the call to fasync_helper() when we're
 freeing up the lease.

We had similar problems with other ioctls where userspace did things
like that.  What we did there was to put the compat handler to generic
code.  The patch below does that, adding a big comment about what's
going on and removing the COMPAT_IOCTL entires for these on powerpc
that not only weren't ever useful but are duplicated now aswell.

iosched model better.  Request merging with q->last_merge and
rq->queuelist.prev/next work again now.

b740d98f56 [BLOCK] cfq-iosched: fix slice_left calculation
When cfq slice expires, remainder of slice is calculated and stored in
cfqq->slice_left.  Current code calculates the opposite of remainder -
how many jiffies the cfqq has used past slice end.  This patch fixes
the bug.

be56123568 [BLOCK] fix string handling in elv_iosched_store
elv_iosched_store doesn't terminate string passed from userspace if
it's too long.  Also, if the written length is zero (probably not
possible), it accesses elevator_name[-1].  This patch fixes both bugs.

15853af9f0 [BLOCK] Implement elv_drain_elevator for improved switch error detection
This patch adds request_queue->nr_sorted which keeps the number of
requests in the iosched and implement elv_drain_elevator which
performs forced dispatching.  elv_drain_elevator checks whether
iosched actually dispatches all requests it has and prints error
message if it doesn't.  As buggy forced dispatching can result in
wrong barrier operations, I think this extra check is worthwhile.

1b5ed5e1f1 [BLOCK] cfq-iosched: cfq forced dispatching fix
cfq forced dispatching might not return all requests on the queue.
This bug can hang elevator switchinig and corrupt request ordering
during flush sequence.

cff3ba2204 [BLOCK] elevator init fixes #2
In addition to the first patch, which is probably goodness, I found the
cause of my panic - applying this patch fixes it and now I am booting.
If the chosen_elevator[] is not found, fall back to noop.

b8ea2cb512 [BLOCK] elevator init fixes
I got a panic in the elevator code, backtrace :

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000060
..
EIP is at elevator_put+0x0/0x30 (null elevator_type passed)
..
elevator_init+0x38
blk_init_queu_node+0xc9
floppy_init+0xdb
do_initcalls+0x23
init+0x10a
init+0x0

Clearly if the kmalloc here fails, e->elevator_type is not yet set; this
appears to be the correct fix, but I think I probably hit the second case
due to a race condition.  Someone more familiar with the elevator code
should look at this more closely until I can determine if I can reproduce.
