Christoph Lameter c84db23c6e [PATCH] zone_reclaim: minor fixes
- If we only reclaim nr_pages then its okay to stay on node.
  Switch from > to >= for the comparison.

- vm_table[] entry for zone_reclaim_mode is a bit screwed up.

- Add empty lines around shrink_zone to show that this is the
  central function to be called.

Christoph Lameter 52a8363eae [PATCH] mm: improve function of sc->may_writepage
Make sc->may_writepage control the writeout behavior of shrink_list.

Remove the laptop_mode trick from shrink_list and instead set may_writepage
in try_to_free_pages properly.

Andy Whitcroft ce2ea89ba1 [PATCH] GFP_ZONETYPES: calculate from GFP_ZONEMASK
GFP_ZONETYPES calculate from GFP_ZONEMASK

GFP_ZONETYPES's value is directly related to the value of GFP_ZONEMASK.  It
takes one of two forms depending whether the top bit of GFP_ZONEMASK is a
'loner'.  Supply both forms, enabling the loner.

Add commentry explaining the optimisation that we can apply to GFP_ZONETYPES
when the leftmost bit is a 'loaner', it can only be set in isolation.

Christoph Lameter 42c722d4cb [PATCH] zone_reclaim: reclaim on memory only node support
Zone reclaim is usually only run on the local node.  Headless nodes do not
have any local processors.  This patch checks for headless nodes and
performs zone reclaim on them.

Christoph Lameter 8928862398 [PATCH] Optimize off-node performance of zone reclaim
Ensure that the performance of off node pages stays the same as before.
Off node pagefault tests showed an 18% drop in performance without this
patch.

- Increase the timeout to 30 seconds to reduce the overhead.

- Move all code possible out of the off node hot path for zone reclaim
  (Sorry Andrew, the struct initialization had to be sacrificed).
  The read_page_state() bit us there.

- Check first for the timeout before any other checks.

Alexey Dobriyan 537421be79 [PATCH] Mark CONFIG_UFS_FS_WRITE as BROKEN
OpenBSD doesn't see "." correctly in directories created by Linux.  Copying
files over several KB will buy you infinite loop in __getblk_slow().
Copying files smaller than 1 KB seems to be OK.  Sometimes files will be
filled with zeros.  Sometimes incorrectly copied file will reappear after
next file with truncated size.

David Gibson c125a1838a [PATCH] powerpc: Add flattened device tree documentation
The flattened device tree is the only supported way of booting ARCH=powerpc
kernels on non Open Firmware machines.  The documentation for the flattened
tree format and contents has been discussed on mailing lists and lately has
been living in the dtc git tree.  Really, it ought to go in the kernel's
Documentation directory for maximum visibility.

john stultz bfaa1deeb9 [PATCH] disable lost tick compensation before TSCs are synced
Avoid lost tick compensation early in boot before the TSCs are
synchronized.  Currently timekeeping is enabled before the TSCs are
synchronized, thus when the TSCs are synched (reset to zero), it appears
that a number of lost ticks have occurred.  This can cause premature expiry
of timers and in extreme cases can cause the soft lockup detection to fire.

This resolves issues reported by Andy Whitcroft as well as bug #5366
reported by Tim Mann.

Jack Steiner 2f7016d917 [PATCH] sys_sched_getaffinity() & hotplug
Change sched_getaffinity() so that it returns a bitmap that indicates the
legally schedulable cpus that a task is allowed to run on.

Without this patch, if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled, sched_getaffinity()
unconditionally returns (at least on IA64) a mask with NR_CPUS bits set.
This conveys no useful infornmation except for a kernel compile option.

This fixes a breakage we obseved running recent kernels. We have MPI jobs
that use sched_getaffinity() to determine where to place their threads.
Placing them on non-existant cpus is problematic :-)

Bryan O'Sullivan c27a0d75b3 [PATCH] Introduce __iowrite32_copy
This arch-independent routine copies data to a memory-mapped I/O region,
using 32-bit accesses.  The naming is double-underscored to make it clear
that it does not guarantee write ordering, nor does it perform a memory
barrier afterwards; the kernel doc also explicitly states this.  This style
of access is required by some devices.

This change also introduces include/linux/io.h, at Andrew's suggestion.  It
only has one occupant at the moment, but is a logical destination for
oft-replicated contents of include/asm-*/{io,iomap}.h to migrate to.

akpm@osdl.org ff60a5dc4f [PATCH] hrtimers: fix posix-timer requeue race
From: Steven Rostedtrostedt@goodmis.org <rostedt@goodmis.org>

CPU0 expires a posix-timer and runs the callback function.  The signal is
queued.

After releasing the posix-timer lock and before returning to hrtimer_run_queue
CPU0 gets interrupted.  CPU1 delivers the queued signal and rearms the timer.
CPU0 comes back to hrtimer_run_queue and sets the timer state to expired.

The next modification of the timer can result in an oops, because the state
information is wrong.

Keep track of state = RUNNING and check if the state has been in the return
path of hrtimer_run_queue.  In case the state has been changed, ignore a
restart request and do not touch the state variable.
