When transparent huge pages were introduced, memory compaction and swap
storms were an issue, and the kernel had to be careful to not make THP
allocations cause pageout or compaction.
Now that we have working compaction deferral, kswapd is smart enough to
invoke compaction and the quadratic behaviour around isolate_free_pages
has been fixed, it should be safe to remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD.

The synchronization between CPU hotplug readers and writers is achieved
by means of refcounting, safeguarded by the cpu_hotplug.lock.
get_online_cpus() increments the refcount, whereas put_online_cpus()
decrements it. If we ever hit an imbalance between the two, we end up
compromising the guarantees of the hotplug synchronization i.e, for
example, an extra call to put_online_cpus() can end up allowing a
hotplug reader to execute concurrently with a hotplug writer.
So, add a WARN_ON() in put_online_cpus() to detect such cases where the
refcount can go negative, and also attempt to fix it up, so that we can
continue to run.

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
"This contains pretty many small commits covering fairly large range of
files in sound/ directory. Partly because of additional API support
and partly because of constantly developed ASoC and ARM stuff.
Some highlights:
- Introduced the helper function and documentation for exposing the
channel map via control API, as discussed in Plumbers; most of PCI
drivers are covered, will follow more drivers later
- Most of drivers have been replaced with the new PM callbacks (if
the bus is supported)
- HD-audio controller got the support of runtime PM and the support
of D3 clock-stop. Also changing the power_save option in sysfs
kicks off immediately to enable / disable the power-save mode.
- Another significant code change in HD-audio is the rewrite of
firmware loading code. Other than that, most of changes in
HD-audio are continued cleanups and standardization for the generic
auto parser and bug fixes (HBR, device-specific fixups), in
addition to the support of channel-map API.
- Addition of ASoC bindings for the compressed API, used by the
mid-x86 drivers.
- Lots of cleanups and API refreshes for ASoC codec drivers and
DaVinci.
- Conversion of OMAP to dmaengine.
- New machine driver for Wolfson Microelectronics Bells.
- New CODEC driver for Wolfson Microelectronics WM0010.
- Enhancements to the ux500 and wm2000 drivers
- A new driver for DA9055 and the support for regulator bypass mode."

Change de_thread() to use KILLABLE rather than UNINTERRUPTIBLE while
waiting for other threads. The only complication is that we should
clear ->group_exit_task and ->notify_count before we return, and we
should do this under tasklist_lock. -EAGAIN is used to match the
initial signal_group_exit() check/return, it doesn't really matter.
This fixes the (unlikely) race with coredump. de_thread() checks
signal_group_exit() before it starts to kill the subthreads, but this
can't help if another CLONE_VM (but non CLONE_THREAD) task starts the
coredumping after de_thread() unlocks ->siglock. In this case the
killed sub-thread can block in exit_mm() waiting for coredump_finish(),
execing thread waits for that sub-thead, and the coredumping thread
waits for execing thread. Deadlock.

Al is working on an updated version.
But what we do have here are some significant bzero/memset

task_work_run() implementation had the side effect of enabling

Following commit 74838b7 (swiotlb: add the late swiotlb initialization
function with iotlb memory) the swiotlb_init_with_default_size() is a
static function. This patch changes the arm64 code to call
swiotlb_init() instead and use the default size of 64MB. It is assumed
that AArch64 platforms have enough RAM to afford the pre-allocated
swiotlb memory. It also removes the #ifdef around this call since
CONFIG_SWIOTLB is always enabled.

Pull UBI fastmap changes from Artem Bityutskiy:
"This pull request contains the UBI fastmap support implemented by
Richard Weinberger from Linutronix. Fastmap is designed to address
UBI's slow scanning issues. Namely, it introduces a new on-flash
data-structure called "fastmap", which stores the information about
logical<->physical eraseblocks mappings. So now to get this
information just read the fastmap, instead of doing full scan. More
information here can be found in Richard's announcement in LKML
(Subject: UBI: Fastmap request for inclusion (v19)):
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1364922/focus=1369109
One thing I want to explicitly say is that fastmap did not have large
enough linux-next exposure. It is partially my fault - I did not
respond quickly enough. I _really_ apologize for this. But it had
good testing and disabled by default, so I do not expect that we'll
break anything.
Fastmap is declared as experimental so far, and it is off by default.
We did declare that the on-flash format may be changed. The reason
for this is that no one used it in real production so far, so there is
a high risk that something is missing. Besides, we do not have
user-space tools supporting fastmap so far.
Nevertheless, I suggest we merge this feature. Many people want UBI's
scanning bottleneck to be fixed and merging fastmap now should
accelerate its production use. The plan is to make it bullet-prove,
somewhat clean-up, and make it the default for UBI. I do not know how
many kernel releases will it take.
Basically, I what I want to do for fastmap is something like Linus did
for btrfs few years ago."
