Current hugetlb strict accounting for shared mapping always assume mapping
starts at zero file offset and reserves pages between zero and size of the
file. This assumption often reserves (or lock down) a lot more pages then
necessary if application maps at none zero file offset. libhugetlbfs is
one example that requires proper reservation on shared mapping starts at
none zero offset.
This patch extends the reservation and hugetlb strict accounting to support
any arbitrary pair of (offset, len), resulting a much more robust and
accurate scheme. More importantly, it won't lock down any hugetlb pages
outside file mapping.

Reserve space in the swap disk header for a LABEL and UUID to be specified.
This has been possible with util-linux-2.12b (via e2fsprogs 1.36
libblkid), and is used by at least FC3 and later. The kernel doesn't
really care about this, but the space shouldn't accidentally be used by
something else either.
Also make the on-disk structures be fixed-size types, instead of "int",
though I don't know of any architecture in use where an "int" isn't the
same size as a "__u32" (all current kernel arches have it as "unsigned
int").

This patch adds panic_on_oom sysctl under sys.vm.
When sysctl vm.panic_on_oom = 1, the kernel panics intead of killing rogue
processes. And if vm.panic_on_oom is 0 the kernel will do oom_kill() in
the same way as it does today. Of course, the default value is 0 and only
root can modifies it.
In general, oom_killer works well and kill rogue processes. So the whole
system can survive. But there are environments where panic is preferable
rather than kill some processes.

In current code, zonelist is considered to be build once, no modification.
But MemoryHotplug can add new zone/pgdat. It must be updated.
This patch modifies build_all_zonelists(). By this, build_all_zonelist() can
reconfig pgdat's zonelists.
To update them safety, this patch use stop_machine_run(). Other cpus don't
touch among updating them by using it.
In old version (V2 of node hotadd), kernel updated them after zone
initialization. But present_page of its new zone is still 0, because
online_page() is not called yet at this time. Build_zonelists() checks
present_pages to find present zone. It was too early. So, I changed it after
online_pages().

It is better to redo the complete fault if do_swap_page() finds that the
page is not in PageSwapCache() because the page migration code may have
replaced the swap pte already with a pte pointing to valid memory.
do_swap_page() may interpret an invalid swap entry without this patch
because we do not reload the pte if we are looping back. The page
migration code may already have reused the swap entry referenced by our
local swp_entry.

The buddy allocator has a requirement that boundaries between contigious
zones occur aligned with the the MAX_ORDER ranges. Where they do not we
will incorrectly merge pages cross zone boundaries. This can lead to pages
from the wrong zone being handed out.
Originally the buddy allocator would check that buddies were in the same
zone by referencing the zone start and end page frame numbers. This was
removed as it became very expensive and the buddy allocator already made
the assumption that zones boundaries were aligned.
It is clear that not all configurations and architectures are honouring
this alignment requirement. Therefore it seems safest to reintroduce
support for non-aligned zone boundaries. This patch introduces a new check
when considering a page a buddy it compares the zone_table index for the
two pages and refuses to merge the pages where they do not match. The
zone_table index is unique for each node/zone combination when
FLATMEM/DISCONTIGMEM is enabled and for each section/zone combination when
SPARSEMEM is enabled (a SPARSEMEM section is at least a MAX_ORDER size).

Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock
pointer.
This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of
sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there. However, NFS does
require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits
the root in the vfsmount to be used instead.
linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build
successfully.
Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.
This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.
The patch also makes the following changes:
(*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
very little.
(*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
(*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
dentries being left unculled.
However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
with child trees.
[*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
(*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.
