7a4050791b mm: document tree_lock->zone.lock lockorder
zone->lock is quite an "inner" lock and mostly constrained to page alloc as
well, so like slab locks, it probably isn't something that is critically
important to document here.  However unlike slab locks, zone lock could be
used more widely in future, and page_alloc.c might possibly have more
business to do tricky things with pagecache than does slab.  So...  I don't
think it hurts to document it.

d773ed6b85 mm: test and set zone reclaim lock before starting reclaim
Introduces new zone flag interface for testing and setting flags:

	int zone_test_and_set_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag)

Instead of setting and clearing ZONE_RECLAIM_LOCKED each time shrink_zone() is
called, this flag is test and set before starting zone reclaim.  Zone reclaim
starts in __alloc_pages() when a zone's watermark fails and the system is in
zone_reclaim_mode.  If it's already in reclaim, there's no need to start again
so it is simply considered full for that allocation attempt.

There is a change of behavior with regard to concurrent zone shrinking.  It is
now possible for try_to_free_pages() or kswapd to already be shrinking a
particular zone when __alloc_pages() starts zone reclaim.  In this case, it is
possible for two concurrent threads to invoke shrink_zone() for a single zone.

This change forbids a zone to be in zone reclaim twice, which was always the
behavior, but allows for concurrent try_to_free_pages() or kswapd shrinking
when starting zone reclaim.

ae74138da6 oom: convert zone_scan_lock from mutex to spinlock
There's no reason to sleep in try_set_zone_oom() or clear_zonelist_oom() if
the lock can't be acquired; it will be available soon enough once the zonelist
scanning is done.  All other threads waiting for the OOM killer are also
contingent on the exiting task being able to acquire the lock in
clear_zonelist_oom() so it doesn't make sense to put it to sleep.

bbe373f2c6 oom: compare cpuset mems_allowed instead of exclusive ancestors
Instead of testing for overlap in the memory nodes of the the nearest
exclusive ancestor of both current and the candidate task, it is better to
simply test for intersection between the task's mems_allowed in their task
descriptors.  This does not require taking callback_mutex since it is only
used as a hint in the badness scoring.

Tasks that do not have an intersection in their mems_allowed with the current
task are not explicitly restricted from being OOM killed because it is quite
possible that the candidate task has allocated memory there before and has
since changed its mems_allowed.

ff0ceb9deb oom: serialize out of memory calls
A final allocation attempt with a very high watermark needs to be attempted
before invoking out_of_memory().  OOM killer serialization needs to occur
before this final attempt, otherwise tasks attempting to OOM-lock all zones in
its zonelist may spin and acquire the lock unnecessarily after the OOM
condition has already been alleviated.

If the final allocation does succeed, the zonelist is simply OOM-unlocked and
__alloc_pages() returns the page.  Otherwise, the OOM killer is invoked.

If the task cannot acquire OOM-locks on all zones in its zonelist, it is put
to sleep and the allocation is retried when it gets rescheduled.  One of its
zones is already marked as being in the OOM killer so it'll hopefully be
getting some free memory soon, at least enough to satisfy a high watermark
allocation attempt.  This prevents needlessly killing a task when the OOM
condition would have already been alleviated if it had simply been given
enough time.

098d7f128a oom: add per-zone locking
OOM killer synchronization should be done with zone granularity so that memory
policy and cpuset allocations may have their corresponding zones locked and
allow parallel kills for other OOM conditions that may exist elsewhere in the
system.  DMA allocations can be targeted at the zone level, which would not be
possible if locking was done in nodes or globally.

Synchronization shall be done with a variation of "trylocks." The goal is to
put the current task to sleep and restart the failed allocation attempt later
if the trylock fails.  Otherwise, the OOM killer is invoked.

Each zone in the zonelist that __alloc_pages() was called with is checked for
the newly-introduced ZONE_OOM_LOCKED flag.  If any zone has this flag present,
the "trylock" to serialize the OOM killer fails and returns zero.  Otherwise,
all the zones have ZONE_OOM_LOCKED set and the try_set_zone_oom() function
returns non-zero.

e815af95f9 oom: change all_unreclaimable zone member to flags
Convert the int all_unreclaimable member of struct zone to unsigned long
flags.  This can now be used to specify several different zone flags such as
all_unreclaimable and reclaim_in_progress, which can now be removed and
converted to a per-zone flag.

Flags are set and cleared as follows:

	zone_set_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag)
	zone_clear_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag)

Defines the first zone flags, ZONE_ALL_UNRECLAIMABLE and ZONE_RECLAIM_LOCKED,
which have the same semantics as the old zone->all_unreclaimable and
zone->reclaim_in_progress, respectively.  Also converts all current users that
set or clear either flag to use the new interface.

Helper functions are defined to test the flags:

	int zone_is_all_unreclaimable(const struct zone *zone)
	int zone_is_reclaim_locked(const struct zone *zone)

All flag operators are of the atomic variety because there are currently
readers that are implemented that do not take zone->lock.

3e26c149c3 mm: dirty balancing for tasks
Based on ideas of Andrew:
  http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=102912915020543&w=2

Scale the bdi dirty limit inversly with the tasks dirty rate.
This makes heavy writers have a lower dirty limit than the occasional writer.

Andrea proposed something similar:
  http://lwn.net/Articles/152277/

The main disadvantage to his patch is that he uses an unrelated quantity to
measure time, which leaves him with a workload dependant tunable. Other than
that the two approaches appear quite similar.

04fbfdc14e mm: per device dirty threshold
Scale writeback cache per backing device, proportional to its writeout speed.

By decoupling the BDI dirty thresholds a number of problems we currently have
will go away, namely:

 - mutual interference starvation (for any number of BDIs);
 - deadlocks with stacked BDIs (loop, FUSE and local NFS mounts).

It might be that all dirty pages are for a single BDI while other BDIs are
idling. By giving each BDI a 'fair' share of the dirty limit, each one can have
dirty pages outstanding and make progress.

A global threshold also creates a deadlock for stacked BDIs; when A writes to
B, and A generates enough dirty pages to get throttled, B will never start
writeback until the dirty pages go away. Again, by giving each BDI its own
'independent' dirty limit, this problem is avoided.

So the problem is to determine how to distribute the total dirty limit across
the BDIs fairly and efficiently. A DBI that has a large dirty limit but does
not have any dirty pages outstanding is a waste.

What is done is to keep a floating proportion between the DBIs based on
writeback completions. This way faster/more active devices get a larger share
than slower/idle devices.

It has one parameter, and that is the period of 'time' over which the
'activity' is measured.

c4dc4beed2 nfs: remove congestion_end()
These patches aim to improve balance_dirty_pages() and directly address three
issues:
  1) inter device starvation
  2) stacked device deadlocks
  3) inter process starvation

1 and 2 are a direct result from removing the global dirty limit and using
per device dirty limits. By giving each device its own dirty limit is will
no longer starve another device, and the cyclic dependancy on the dirty limit
is broken.

In order to efficiently distribute the dirty limit across the independant
devices a floating proportion is used, this will allocate a share of the total
limit proportional to the device's recent activity.

3 is done by also scaling the dirty limit proportional to the current task's
recent dirty rate.

This patch:

nfs: remove congestion_end().  It's redundant, clear_bdi_congested() already
wakes the waiters.

A new note type of NT_PPC_VMX was chosen to be 0x100 (arbitrarily) because
it allows the low range values to be used for more generic purposes and
0x100 seems an adequate starting point for PowerPC extensions.

5b20cd80b4 x86: replace NT_PRXFPREG with ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE #define
Replace NT_PRXFPREG with ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE in the coredump code which
allows for more flexibility in the note type for the state of 'extended
floating point' implementations in coredumps.  New note types can now be
added with an appropriate #define.

This does #define ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE to be NT_PRXFPREG in all
current users so there's are no change in behaviour.

This will let us use different note types on powerpc for the Altivec/VMX
state that some PowerPC cpus have (G4, PPC970, POWER6) and for the SPE
(signal processing extension) state that some embedded PowerPC cpus from
Freescale have.

eead191153 partially fix up the lookup_one_noperm mess
Try to fix the mess created by sysfs braindamage.

 - refactor code internal to fs/namei.c a little to avoid too much
   duplication:
	o __lookup_hash_kern is renamed back to __lookup_hash
	o the old __lookup_hash goes away, permission checks moves to
	  the two callers
	o useless inline qualifiers on above functions go away
 - lookup_one_len_kern loses it's last argument and is renamed to
   lookup_one_noperm to make it's useage a little more clear
 - added kerneldoc comments to describe lookup_one_len aswell as
   lookup_one_noperm and make it very clear that no one should use
   the latter ever.

1a1769f323 WOL bugfix for 3c59x.c
Some NICs (3c905B) can not generate PME in power state PCI_D0, while others
like 3c905C can.  Call pci_enable_wake() with PCI_D3hot should give proper
WOL for 3c905B.
