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.

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

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.

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.

ieee1394: csr1212: proper refcounting
At least since nodemgr got rid of coarse global locking, accesses to
struct csr1212_keyval's reference counter should be atomic and coupled
with proper barriers. Also, calls to csr1212_keep_keyval(kv) should
occur before kv is being used.
(We probably should convert refcnt to struct kref, but how to keep
csr1212_destroy_keyval's implementation non-recursively then?)

ieee1394: nodemgr: fix leak of struct csr1212_keyval
csr1212_keep_keyval(kv) in nodemgr_process_root_directory was
unbalanced if ne->vendor_name_kv already exists. This happens for
example if eth1394 or raw1394 modify the local config ROM and it is
parsed again.
As a bonus, the attempt to add the vendor_name_kv sysfs attribute
when it already exists is now fixed for good.

* Use the proper i2c adapter ID.

* Update a misleading comment on why we use i2c_transfer rather than

ieee1394: Fix kthread stopping in nodemgr_host_thread
The nodemgr host thread can exit on its own even when kthread_should_stop
is not true, on receiving a signal (might never happen in practice, as
it ignores signals). But considering kthread_stop() must not be mixed with
kthreads that can exit on their own, I think changing the code like this
is clearer. This change means the thread can cut its sleep short when
receive a signal but looking at the code around, that sounds okay (and
again, it might never actually recieve a signal in practice).

Additionaly to being bloat the code contained two bugs:
- wrong cable bit was checked (0x0001 instead of 0x8000) on ATA_133 chipsets
- incorrect UDMA cycle time was reported on ATA_100a/ATA_133 chipsets
* hpt34x.c: disable DMA masks for HPT345
(hwif->autodma is zero so DMA won't be enabled anyway).
* trm290.c: disable IDE_HFLAG_TRUST_BIOS_FOR_DMA flag
(hwif->autodma is zero so DMA won't be enabled anyway).
* Check noautodma global variable instead of drive->autodma in ide_tune_dma().
This fixes handling of "ide=nodma" kernel parameter for icside, ide-cris,
au1xxx-ide, pmac, it821x, jmicron, sgiioc4 and siimage host drivers.
* Remove hwif->autodma (it was not checked by IDE core code anyway) and
drive->autodma (was set by all host drivers - except HPT345/TRM290 special
cases - unless "ide=nodma" was used).
While at it:
- remove needless printk() from icside.c
- remove stale FIXME/comment from ide-probe.c
- don't force DMA off if PCI bus-mastering had to be enabled in setup-pci.c
(this setting was always later over-ridden by host drivers anyway)
It has been obsoleted since 1 Nov 2004, is valid only when used together with
"ide=nodma" kernel parameter (which makes no sense) and only for aec62xx,
cmd64x, cs5220, generic, hpt366, sl82c105, tc86c001 and triflex host drivers.

This code doesn't use pci_assign_resource() and ide_get_or_set_dma_base() uses
pci_resource_start() to get DMA base address so it has no chance of working.
Moreover this belongs to PCI quirks (in case somebody would like to fix it).
