9b4ee40ebb [PATCH] mm: correct _PAGE_FILE comment
_PAGE_FILE does not indicate whether a file is in page / swap cache, it is
set just for non-linear PTE's.  Correct the comment for i386, x86_64, UML.
Also clearify _PAGE_NONE.

If !vma->vm-ops we already BUG above, so retesting it is useless.  The
compiler cannot optimize this because BUG is a macro and is not thus marked
noreturn; that should possibly be fixed.

d44ed4f868 [PATCH] shmem_populate: avoid an useless check, and some comments
Either shmem_getpage returns a failure, or it found a page, or it was told
it couldn't do any I/O.  So it's useless to check nonblock in the else
branch.  We could add a BUG() there but I preferred to comment the
offending function.

This was taken out from one Ingo Molnar's old patch I'm resurrecting.

836d5ffd34 [PATCH] mm: fix madvise vma merging
Better late than never, I've at last reviewed the madvise vma merging
going into 2.6.13.  Remove a pointless check and fix two little bugs -
a simple test (with /proc/<pid>/maps hacked to show ReadHints) showed
both mismerges in practice: though being madvise, neither was disastrous.

1. Correct placement of the success label in madvise_behavior: as in
   mprotect_fixup and mlock_fixup, it is necessary to update vm_flags
   when vma_merge succeeds (to handle the exceptional Case 8 noted in
   the comments above vma_merge itself).

2. Correct initial value of prev when starting part way into a vma: as
   in sys_mprotect and do_mlock, it needs to be set to vma in this case
   (vma_merge handles only that minimum of cases shown in its comments).

3. If find_vma_prev sets prev, then the vma it returns is prev->vm_next,
   so it's pointless to make that same assignment again in sys_madvise.

9a61c349b2 [PATCH] mm: remap ZERO_PAGE mappings
filemap_xip's nopage routine maps the ZERO_PAGE into readonly mappings, if it
has no data page to map there: then if the hole in the file is later filled,
__xip_unmap uses an rmap technique to replace the ZERO_PAGEs mapped for that
offset by the newly allocated file page, so that established mappings will see
the newly written data.

However, on MIPS (alone) there's not one but as many as eight ZERO_PAGEs,
chosen for coloring by user virtual address; and if mremap has meanwhile been
used to move a mapping containing a ZERO_PAGE, it will generally not match the
ZERO_PAGE(address) __xip_unmap is looking for.

To maintain XIP's established mappings correctly on MIPS, we need Nick's fix
to mremap's move_one_page (originally presented as an optimization), to
replace the ZERO_PAGE appropriate to the old address by the ZERO_PAGE
appropriate to the new address.

(But when I first saw this, I was thinking the ZERO_PAGEs themselves would get
corrupted, very bad.  Now I think it's the other way round, that the
established mappings will fail to see the newly written data: incorrect, but
not corrupting everything else.  Whether filemap_xip's technique is generally
safe, I'd hesitate to say in a hurry: it's interesting, but we've never tried
to do that in tmpfs.)

6e21c8f145 [PATCH] /proc/<pid>/numa_maps to show on which nodes pages reside
This patch was recently discussed on linux-mm:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=112085728500002&r=1&w=2

I inherited a large code base from Ray for page migration.  There was a
small patch in there that I find to be very useful since it allows the
display of the locality of the pages in use by a process.  I reworked that
patch and came up with a /proc/<pid>/numa_maps that gives more information
about the vma's of a process.  numa_maps is indexes by the start address
found in /proc/<pid>/maps.  F.e.  with this patch you can see the page use
of the "getty" process:

getty uses ld.so.  The first vma is the code segment which is used by 43
other processes and the pages are evenly distributed over the 4 nodes.

The second vma is the process specific data portion for ld.so.  This is
only one page.

The display format is:

<startaddress>	 Links to information in /proc/<pid>/map
<memory policy>  This can be "default" "interleave={}", "prefer=<node>" or "bind={<zones>}"
MaxRef=		<maximum reference to a page in this vma>
Pages=		<Nr of pages in use>
Mapped=		<Nr of pages with mapcount >
Anon=		<nr of anonymous pages>
Nx=		<Nr of pages on Node x>

The content of the proc-file is self-evident.  If this would be tied into
the sparsemem system then the contents of this file would not be too
useful.

5d337b9194 [PATCH] swap: swap_lock replace list+device
The idea of a swap_device_lock per device, and a swap_list_lock over them all,
is appealing; but in practice almost every holder of swap_device_lock must
already hold swap_list_lock, which defeats the purpose of the split.

The only exceptions have been swap_duplicate, valid_swaphandles and an
untrodden path in try_to_unuse (plus a few places added in this series).
valid_swaphandles doesn't show up high in profiles, but swap_duplicate does
demand attention.  However, with the hold time in get_swap_pages so much
reduced, I've not yet found a load and set of swap device priorities to show
even swap_duplicate benefitting from the split.  Certainly the split is mere
overhead in the common case of a single swap device.

So, replace swap_list_lock and swap_device_lock by spinlock_t swap_lock
(generally we seem to prefer an _ in the name, and not hide in a macro).

If someone can show a regression in swap_duplicate, then probably we should
add a hashlock for the swap_map entries alone (shorts being anatomic), so as
to help the case of the single swap device too.

52b7efdbe5 [PATCH] swap: scan_swap_map drop swap_device_lock
get_swap_page has often shown up on latency traces, doing lengthy scans while
holding two spinlocks.  swap_list_lock is already dropped, now scan_swap_map
drop swap_device_lock before scanning the swap_map.

While scanning for an empty cluster, don't worry that racing tasks may
allocate what was free and free what was allocated; but when allocating an
entry, check it's still free after retaking the lock.  Avoid dropping the lock
in the expected common path.  No barriers beyond the locks, just let the
cookie crumble; highest_bit limit is volatile, but benign.

Guard against swapoff: must check SWP_WRITEOK before allocating, must raise
SWP_SCANNING reference count while in scan_swap_map, swapoff wait for that to
fall - just use schedule_timeout, we don't want to burden scan_swap_map
itself, and it's very unlikely that anyone can really still be in
scan_swap_map once swapoff gets this far.

11d31886db [PATCH] swap: swap extent list is ordered
There are several comments that swap's extent_list.prev points to the lowest
extent: that's not so, it's extent_list.next which points to it, as you'd
expect.  And a couple of loops in add_swap_extent which go all the way through
the list, when they should just add to the other end.

Fix those up, and let map_swap_page search the list forwards: profiles shows
it to be twice as quick that way - because prefetch works better on how the
structs are typically kmalloc'ed?  or because usually more is written to than
read from swap, and swap is allocated ascendingly?

but likewise move it earlier, before taking the locks (once try_to_unuse has
completed, nothing can be needing the swap extents).

worth doing so, but ensure nr_badpages is 0 for a regular swapfile.

fd4fd5aac1 [PATCH] mm: consolidate get_order
Someone mentioned that almost all the architectures used basically the same
implementation of get_order.  This patch consolidates them into
asm-generic/page.h and includes that in the appropriate places.  The
exceptions are ia64 and ppc which have their own (presumably optimised)
versions.

28ae55c98e [PATCH] sparsemem extreme: hotplug preparation
This splits up sparse_index_alloc() into two pieces.  This is needed
because we'll allocate the memory for the second level in a different place
from where we actually consume it to keep the allocation from happening
underneath a lock

3e347261a8 [PATCH] sparsemem extreme implementation
With cleanups from Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com>

SPARSEMEM_EXTREME makes mem_section a one dimensional array of pointers to
mem_sections.  This two level layout scheme is able to achieve smaller
memory requirements for SPARSEMEM with the tradeoff of an additional shift
and load when fetching the memory section.  The current SPARSEMEM
implementation is a one dimensional array of mem_sections which is the
default SPARSEMEM configuration.  The patch attempts isolates the
implementation details of the physical layout of the sparsemem section
array.

SPARSEMEM_EXTREME requires bootmem to be functioning at the time of
memory_present() calls.  This is not always feasible, so architectures
which do not need it may allocate everything statically by using
SPARSEMEM_STATIC.

802f192e4a [PATCH] SPARSEMEM EXTREME
A new option for SPARSEMEM is ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME.  Architecture
platforms with a very sparse physical address space would likely want to
select this option.  For those architecture platforms that don't select the
option, the code generated is equivalent to SPARSEMEM currently in -mm.
I'll be posting a patch on ia64 ml which uses this new SPARSEMEM feature.

ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME makes mem_section a one dimensional array of
pointers to mem_sections.  This two level layout scheme is able to achieve
smaller memory requirements for SPARSEMEM with the tradeoff of an
additional shift and load when fetching the memory section.  The current
SPARSEMEM -mm implementation is a one dimensional array of mem_sections
which is the default SPARSEMEM configuration.  The patch attempts isolates
the implementation details of the physical layout of the sparsemem section
array.

ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME depends on 64BIT and is by default boolean false.

I've boot tested under aim load ia64 configured for ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME.
 I've also boot tested a 4 way Opteron machine with !ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME
and tested with aim.

Note: the pci-device and pnp-device mixture is currently necessary,

the driver. This will be fixed within the next iterations.
