Now, in mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim(), mem_cgroup_local_usage() is
used for checking whether the memcg contains reclaimable pages or not. If
no pages in it, the routine skips it.
But, mem_cgroup_local_usage() contains Unevictable pages and cannot handle
"noswap" condition correctly. This doesn't work on a swapless system.
This patch adds test_mem_cgroup_reclaimable() and replaces
mem_cgroup_local_usage(). test_mem_cgroup_reclaimable() see LRU counter
and returns correct answer to the caller. And this new function has
"noswap" argument and can see only FILE LRU if necessary.

mm: vmscan: only read new_classzone_idx from pgdat when reclaiming successfully
During allocator-intensive workloads, kswapd will be woken frequently
causing free memory to oscillate between the high and min watermark. This
is expected behaviour. Unfortunately, if the highest zone is small, a
problem occurs.
When balance_pgdat() returns, it may be at a lower classzone_idx than it
started because the highest zone was unreclaimable. Before checking if it
should go to sleep though, it checks pgdat->classzone_idx which when there
is no other activity will be MAX_NR_ZONES-1. It interprets this as it has
been woken up while reclaiming, skips scheduling and reclaims again. As
there is no useful reclaim work to do, it enters into a loop of shrinking
slab consuming loads of CPU until the highest zone becomes reclaimable for
a long period of time.
There are two problems here. 1) If the returned classzone or order is
lower, it'll continue reclaiming without scheduling. 2) if the highest
zone was marked unreclaimable but balance_pgdat() returns immediately at
DEF_PRIORITY, the new lower classzone is not communicated back to kswapd()
for sleeping.
This patch does two things that are related. If the end_zone is
unreclaimable, this information is communicated back. Second, if the
classzone or order was reduced due to failing to reclaim, new information
is not read from pgdat and instead an attempt is made to go to sleep. Due
to this, it is also necessary that pgdat->classzone_idx be initialised
each time to pgdat->nr_zones - 1 to avoid re-reads being interpreted as
wakeups.

mm: vmscan: evaluate the watermarks against the correct classzone
When deciding if kswapd is sleeping prematurely, the classzone is taken
into account but this is different to what balance_pgdat() and the
allocator are doing. Specifically, the DMA zone will be checked based on
the classzone used when waking kswapd which could be for a GFP_KERNEL or
GFP_HIGHMEM request. The lowmem reserve limit kicks in, the watermark is
not met and kswapd thinks it's sleeping prematurely keeping kswapd awake in
error.

mm: vmscan: do not apply pressure to slab if we are not applying pressure to zone
During allocator-intensive workloads, kswapd will be woken frequently
causing free memory to oscillate between the high and min watermark. This
is expected behaviour.
When kswapd applies pressure to zones during node balancing, it checks if
the zone is above a high+balance_gap threshold. If it is, it does not
apply pressure but it unconditionally shrinks slab on a global basis which
is excessive. In the event kswapd is being kept awake due to a high small
unreclaimable zone, it skips zone shrinking but still calls shrink_slab().
Once pressure has been applied, the check for zone being unreclaimable is
being made before the check is made if all_unreclaimable should be set.
This miss of unreclaimable can cause has_under_min_watermark_zone to be
set due to an unreclaimable zone preventing kswapd backing off on
congestion_wait().

mm: vmscan: correct check for kswapd sleeping in sleeping_prematurely
During allocator-intensive workloads, kswapd will be woken frequently
causing free memory to oscillate between the high and min watermark. This
is expected behaviour. Unfortunately, if the highest zone is small, a
problem occurs.
This seems to happen most with recent sandybridge laptops but it's
probably a co-incidence as some of these laptops just happen to have a
small Normal zone. The reproduction case is almost always during copying
large files that kswapd pegs at 100% CPU until the file is deleted or
cache is dropped.
The problem is mostly down to sleeping_prematurely() keeping kswapd awake
when the highest zone is small and unreclaimable and compounded by the
fact we shrink slabs even when not shrinking zones causing a lot of time
to be spent in shrinkers and a lot of memory to be reclaimed.
Patch 1 corrects sleeping_prematurely to check the zones matching
the classzone_idx instead of all zones.
Patch 2 avoids shrinking slab when we are not shrinking a zone.
Patch 3 notes that sleeping_prematurely is checking lower zones against
a high classzone which is not what allocators or balance_pgdat()
is doing leading to an artifical belief that kswapd should be
still awake.
Patch 4 notes that when balance_pgdat() gives up on a high zone that the
decision is not communicated to sleeping_prematurely()
This problem affects 2.6.38.8 for certain and is expected to affect 2.6.39
and 3.0-rc4 as well. If accepted, they need to go to -stable to be picked
up by distros and this series is against 3.0-rc4. I've cc'd people that
reported similar problems recently to see if they still suffer from the
problem and if this fixes it.
This patch: correct the check for kswapd sleeping in sleeping_prematurely()
During allocator-intensive workloads, kswapd will be woken frequently
causing free memory to oscillate between the high and min watermark. This
is expected behaviour.
A problem occurs if the highest zone is small. balance_pgdat() only
considers unreclaimable zones when priority is DEF_PRIORITY but
sleeping_prematurely considers all zones. It's possible for this sequence
to occur
1. kswapd wakes up and enters balance_pgdat()
2. At DEF_PRIORITY, marks highest zone unreclaimable
3. At DEF_PRIORITY-1, ignores highest zone setting end_zone
4. At DEF_PRIORITY-1, calls shrink_slab freeing memory from
highest zone, clearing all_unreclaimable. Highest zone
is still unbalanced
5. kswapd returns and calls sleeping_prematurely
6. sleeping_prematurely looks at *all* zones, not just the ones
being considered by balance_pgdat. The highest small zone
has all_unreclaimable cleared but the zone is not
balanced. all_zones_ok is false so kswapd stays awake
This patch corrects the behaviour of sleeping_prematurely to check the
zones balance_pgdat() checked.

x86, suspend: Restore MISC_ENABLE MSR in realmode wakeup
Some BIOSes will reset the Intel MISC_ENABLE MSR (specifically the
XD_DISABLE bit) when resuming from S3, which can interact poorly with ebba638ae723d8a8fc2f7abce5ec18b688b791d7. In 32bit PAE mode, this can
lead to a fault when EFER is restored by the kernel wakeup routines,
due to it setting the NX bit for a CPU that (thanks to the BIOS reset)
now incorrectly thinks it lacks the NX feature. (64bit is not affected
because it uses a common CPU bring-up that specifically handles the
XD_DISABLE bit.)
The need for MISC_ENABLE being restored so early is specific to the S3
resume path. Normally, MISC_ENABLE is saved in save_processor_state(),
but this happens after the resume header is created, so just reproduce
the logic here. (acpi_suspend_lowlevel() creates the header, calls
do_suspend_lowlevel, which calls save_processor_state(), so the saved
processor context isn't available during resume header creation.)

xfs: unpin stale inodes directly in IOP_COMMITTED
When inodes are marked stale in a transaction, they are treated
specially when the inode log item is being inserted into the AIL.
It tries to avoid moving the log item forward in the AIL due to a
race condition with the writing the underlying buffer back to disk.
The was "fixed" in commit de25c18 ("xfs: avoid moving stale inodes
in the AIL").
To avoid moving the item forward, we return a LSN smaller than the
commit_lsn of the completing transaction, thereby trying to trick
the commit code into not moving the inode forward at all. I'm not
sure this ever worked as intended - it assumes the inode is already
in the AIL, but I don't think the returned LSN would have been small
enough to prevent moving the inode. It appears that the reason it
worked is that the lower LSN of the inodes meant they were inserted
into the AIL and flushed before the inode buffer (which was moved to
the commit_lsn of the transaction).
The big problem is that with delayed logging, the returning of the
different LSN means insertion takes the slow, non-bulk path. Worse
yet is that insertion is to a position -before- the commit_lsn so it
is doing a AIL traversal on every insertion, and has to walk over
all the items that have already been inserted into the AIL. It's
expensive.
To compound the matter further, with delayed logging inodes are
likely to go from clean to stale in a single checkpoint, which means
they aren't even in the AIL at all when we come across them at AIL
insertion time. Hence these were all getting inserted into the AIL
when they simply do not need to be as inodes marked XFS_ISTALE are
never written back.
Transactional/recovery integrity is maintained in this case by the
other items in the unlink transaction that were modified (e.g. the
AGI btree blocks) and committed in the same checkpoint.
So to fix this, simply unpin the stale inodes directly in
xfs_inode_item_committed() and return -1 to indicate that the AIL
insertion code does not need to do any further processing of these
inodes.

Fix up trivial conflict in MAINTAINERS as per Mauro
There is a bug in free_unnecessary_pages() that causes it to
attempt to free too many pages in some cases, which triggers the
BUG_ON() in memory_bm_clear_bit() for copy_bm. Namely, if
count_data_pages() is initially greater than alloc_normal, we get
to_free_normal equal to 0 and "save" greater from 0. In that case,
if the sum of "save" and count_highmem_pages() is greater than
alloc_highmem, we subtract a positive number from to_free_normal.
Hence, since to_free_normal was 0 before the subtraction and is
an unsigned int, the result is converted to a huge positive number
that is used as the number of pages to free.
Fix this bug by checking if to_free_normal is actually greater
than or equal to the number we're going to subtract from it.

If the rx ring is completely empty, then the device may never fire an rx
interrupt. Unfortunately, the rx interrupt is what triggers populating the
rx ring with fresh buffers, so this will cause networking to lock up.
This patch replenishes the skb in recv descriptor as soon as it is
peeled off while processing rx completions. If the skb/buffer
allocation fails, existing one is recycled and the packet in hand is
dropped. This way none of the RX desc is ever left empty, thus avoiding
starvation

bridge: Always flood broadcast packets
As is_multicast_ether_addr returns true on broadcast packets as
well, we need to explicitly exclude broadcast packets so that
they're always flooded. This wasn't an issue before as broadcast
packets were considered to be an unregistered multicast group,
which were always flooded. However, as we now only flood such
packets to router ports, this is no longer acceptable.

Hi,
Reinhard Max also pointed out that the error should EAFNOSUPPORT according
to POSIX.
The Linux manpages have it as EINVAL, some other OSes (Minix, HPUX, perhaps BSD) use
EAFNOSUPPORT. Windows uses WSAEFAULT according to MSDN.
Other protocols error values in their af bind() methods in current mainline git as far
as a brief look shows:
EAFNOSUPPORT: atm, appletalk, l2tp, llc, phonet, rxrpc

AT91: Change nand buswidth logic to match hardware default configuration
The recently modified nand buswitth configuration is not aligned with
board reality: the double footprint on boards is always populated with 8bits
buswidth nand flashes.
So we have to consider that without particular configuration the 8bits
buswidth is selected by default.
Moreover, the previous logic was always using !board_have_nand_8bit(), we
change it to a simpler: board_have_nand_16bit().
omap: drop __initdata tags from static struct platform_device declarations
Pointers to statically declared platform device structures which are
registered with platform_device_register() are then used during run time
to access these structure members, for example from platform_uevent()
and much more. Therefore, these structures should never be placed inside
sections which are dropped after boot. Fix platform devices incorrectly
tagged with __initdata which happen to exist inside OMAP sub-trees.

drop the isci_host_can_queue() and ->was_tag_assigned_by_user infrastructure.
->was_tag_assigned_by_user required the task context to be duplicated in
request-local buffer. With the tci established early we can build the
task_context directly into its final location and skip a memcpy.
With the task context buffer at a known address at request construction we
have the opportunity/obligation to also fix sgl handling. This rework feels
like it belongs in another patch but the sgl handling and task_context are too
intertwined.
1/ fix the 'ab' pair embedded in the task context to point to the 'cd' pair in
the task context (previously we were prematurely linking to the staging
buffer).

the request, and does a dangerous looking reverse lookup of physical
address to virtual address.
