[PATCH] aio: remove kioctx from mm_struct
Sync iocbs have a life cycle that don't need a kioctx. Their retrying, if
any, is done in the context of their owner who has allocated them on the
stack.
The sole user of a sync iocb's ctx reference was aio_complete() checking for
an elevated iocb ref count that could never happen. No path which grabs an
iocb ref has access to sync iocbs.
If we were to implement sync iocb cancelation it would be done by the owner of
the iocb using its on-stack reference.
Removing this chunk from aio_complete allows us to remove the entire kioctx
instance from mm_struct, reducing its size by a third. On a i386 testing box
the slab size went from 768 to 504 bytes and from 5 to 8 per page.

[PATCH] stop_machine() vs. synchronous IPI send deadlock
This fixes deadlock of stop_machine() vs. synchronous IPI send. The
problem is that stop_machine() disables interrupts before disabling
preemption on other CPUs. So if another CPU is preempted and then calls
something like flush_tlb_all() it will deadlock with CPU doing
stop_machine() and which can't process IPI due to disabled IRQs.
I changed stop_machine() to do the same things exactly as it does on other
CPUs, i.e. it should disable preemption first on _all_ CPUs including
itself and only after that disable IRQs.

Possibly this was done to avoid problems with missing set_fs() calls, but

TT-specific code is still to check.
Also, this patch joins common code together, and makes the "address range

This may, possibly, be reoptimized at some time, but the current code doesn't
seem clever, just confused.

access_ok - the kernel wasn't that happy otherwise.

The below warning was added in place of pte_mkyoung(); if (is_write)
pte_mkdirty();
In fact, if the PTE is not marked young/dirty, our dirty/accessed bit
emulation would cause the TLB permission not to be changed, and so we'd loop,
and given we don't support preemption yet, we'd busy-hang here.
However, I've seen this warning trigger without crashes during a loop of
concurrent kernel builds, at random times (i.e. like a race condition), and I
realized that two concurrent faults on the same page, one on read and one on
write, can trigger it. The read fault gets serviced and the PTE gets marked
writable but clean (it's possible on a shared-writable mapping), while the
generic code sees the PTE was already installed and returns without action. In
this case, we'll see another fault and service it normally.

[PATCH] mm: highmem watermarks
The pages_high - pages_low and pages_low - pages_min deltas are the asynch
reclaim watermarks. As such, the should be in the same ratios as any other
zone for highmem zones. It is the pages_min - 0 delta which is the
PF_MEMALLOC reserve, and this is the region that isn't very useful for
highmem.
This patch ensures highmem systems have similar characteristics as non highmem
ones with the same amount of memory, and also that highmem zones get similar
reclaim pressures to other zones.

[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':

[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.

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

[BLOCK] noop-iosched: reimplementation of request dispatching
The original implementation directly used dispatch queue. As new
generic dispatch queue imposes stricter rules over ioscheds and
dispatch queue usage, this direct use becomes somewhat problematic.
This patch reimplements noop-iosched such that it complies to generic
iosched model better. Request merging with q->last_merge and
rq->queuelist.prev/next work again now.

[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.

Clearly if the kmalloc here fails, e->elevator_type is not yet set; this

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.
