Exported flags are decoupled from the kernel's internal flags. This

The following replaces the earlier patches sent. It should address
David Rientjes's comments, and has been compile tested on all the
architectures that it touches, save for parisc.
For the /proc/<pid>/pagemap code[1], we need to able to query how
much virtual address space a particular task has. The trick is
that we do it through /proc and can't use TASK_SIZE since it
references "current" on some arches. The process opening the
/proc file might be a 32-bit process opening a 64-bit process's
pagemap file.
x86_64 already has a TASK_SIZE_OF() macro:
#define TASK_SIZE_OF(child) ((test_tsk_thread_flag(child, TIF_IA32)) ? IA32_PAGE_OFFSET : TASK_SIZE64)
I'd like to have that for other architectures. So, add it
for all the architectures that actually use "current" in
their TASK_SIZE. For the others, just add a quick #define
in sched.h to use plain old TASK_SIZE.

The "proportional set size" (PSS) of a process is the count of pages it has
in memory, where each page is divided by the number of processes sharing
it. So if a process has 1000 pages all to itself, and 1000 shared with one
other process, its PSS will be 1500.

The PSS proposed by Matt Mackall is a very nice metic for measuring an

Intensive swapoff testing shows shmem_unuse spinning on an entry in
shmem_swaplist pointing to itself: how does that come about? Days pass...
First guess is this: shmem_delete_inode tests list_empty without taking the
global mutex (so the swapping case doesn't slow down the common case); but
there's an instant in shmem_unuse_inode's list_move_tail when the list entry
may appear empty (a rare case, because it's actually moving the head not the
the list member). So there's a danger of leaving the inode on the swaplist
when it's freed, then reinitialized to point to itself when reused. Fix that
by skipping the list_move_tail when it's a no-op, which happens to plug this.
But this same spinning then surfaces on another machine. Ah, I'd never
suspected it, but shmem_writepage's swaplist manipulation is unsafe: though we
still hold page lock, which would hold off inode deletion if the page were in
pagecache, it doesn't hold off once it's in swapcache (free_swap_and_cache
doesn't wait on locked pages). Hmm: we could put the the inode on swaplist
earlier, but then shmem_unuse_inode could never prune unswapped inodes.
Fix this with an igrab before dropping info->lock, as in shmem_unuse_inode;
though I am a little uneasy about the iput which has to follow - it works, and
I see nothing wrong with it, but it is surprising that shmem inode deletion
may now occur below shmem_writepage. Revisit this fix later?
And while we're looking at these races: the way shmem_unuse tests swapped
without holding info->lock looks unsafe, if we've more than one swap area: a
racing shmem_writepage on another page of the same inode could be putting it
in swapcache, just as we're deciding to remove the inode from swaplist -
there's a danger of going on swap without being listed, so a later swapoff
would hang, being unable to locate the entry. Move that test and removal down
into shmem_unuse_inode, once info->lock is held.

Nick has observed that shmem.c still uses GFP_ATOMIC when adding to page cache
or swap cache, without any radix tree preload: so tending to deplete emergency
reserves of memory.
GFP_ATOMIC remains appropriate in shmem_writepage's add_to_swap_cache: it's
being called under memory pressure, so must not wait for more memory to become
available. But shmem_unuse_inode now has a window in which it can and should
preload with GFP_KERNEL, and say GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_ATOMIC in its
add_to_page_cache.
shmem_getpage is not so straightforward: its filepage/swappage integrity
relies upon exchanging between caches under spinlock, and it would need a lot
of restructuring to place the preloads correctly. Instead, follow its pattern
of retrying on races: use GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_ATOMIC in
add_to_page_cache, and begin each circuit of the repeat loop with a sleeping
radix_tree_preload, followed immediately by radix_tree_preload_end - that
won't guarantee success in the next add_to_page_cache, but doesn't need to.
And we can then remove that bothersome congestion_wait: when needed, it'll
automatically get done in the course of the radix_tree_preload.

There are a couple of reasons (patches follow) why it would be good to open a
window for sleep in shmem_unuse_inode, between its search for a matching swap
entry, and its handling of the entry found.
shmem_unuse_inode must then use igrab to hold the inode against deletion in
that window, and its corresponding iput might result in deletion: so it had
better unlock_page before the iput, and might as well release the page too.
Nor is there any need to hold on to shmem_swaplist_mutex once we know we'll
leave the loop. So this unwinding moves from try_to_unuse and shmem_unuse
into shmem_unuse_inode, in the case when it finds a match.
Let try_to_unuse break on error in the shmem_unuse case, as it does in the
unuse_mm case: though at this point in the series, no error to break on.

shmem_unuse is at present an unbroken search through every swap vector page of
every tmpfs file which might be swapped, all under shmem_swaplist_lock. This
dates from long ago, when the caller held mmlist_lock over it all too: long
gone, but there's never been much pressure for preemptible swapoff.
Make it a little more preemptible, replacing shmem_swaplist_lock by
shmem_swaplist_mutex, inserting a cond_resched in the main loop, and a
cond_resched_lock (on info->lock) at one convenient point in the
shmem_unuse_inode loop, where it has no outstanding kmap_atomic.
If we're serious about preemptible swapoff, there's much further to go e.g.
I'm stupid to let the kmap_atomics of the decreasingly significant HIGHMEM
case dictate preemptiblility for other configs. But as in the earlier patch
to make swapoff scan ptes preemptibly, my hidden agenda is really towards
making memcgroups work, hardly about preemptibility at all.

tmpfs is expected to limit the memory used (unless mounted with nr_blocks=0 or
size=0). But if a stacked filesystem such as unionfs gets pages from a sparse
tmpfs file by reading holes, and then writes to them, it can easily exceed any
such limit at present.
So suppress the SGP_READ "don't allocate page" ZERO_PAGE optimization when
reading for the kernel (a KERNEL_DS check, ugh, sorry about that). Indeed,
pessimistically mark such pages as dirty, so they cannot get reclaimed and
unaccounted by mistake. The venerable shmem_recalc_inode code (originally to
account for the reclaim of clean pages) suffices to get the accounting right
when swappages are dropped in favour of more uptodate filepages.
This also fixes the NULL shmem_swp_entry BUG or oops in shmem_writepage,
caused by unionfs writing to a very sparse tmpfs file: to minimize memory
allocation in swapout, tmpfs requires the swap vector be allocated upfront,
which wasn't always happening in this stacked case.

tmpfs has long allowed for a fresh filepage to be created in pagecache, just
before shmem_getpage gets the chance to match it up with the swappage which
already belongs to that offset. But unionfs_writepage now does a
find_or_create_page, divorced from shmem_getpage, which leaves conflicting
filepage and swappage outstanding indefinitely, when unionfs is over tmpfs.
Therefore shmem_writepage (where a page is swizzled from file to swap) must
now be on the lookout for existing swap, ready to free it in favour of the
more uptodate filepage, instead of BUGging on that clash. And when the
add_to_page_cache fails in shmem_unuse_inode, it must defer to an uptodate
filepage, otherwise swapoff would hang. Whereas when add_to_page_cache fails
in shmem_getpage, it should retry in the same way it already does.

valid_swaphandles is supposed to do a quick pass over the swap map entries
neigbouring the entry which swapin_readahead is targetting, to determine for

from the beginning of the swap "cluster", a reject (free entry) there
immediately curtails the readaround, and every swapin_readahead from that
cluster is for just a single page. Instead scan forwards and backwards around
the target entry.
Use better names for some variables: a swap_info pointer is usually called

return count of 0 to disable readaround, to avoid the unnecessarily repeated

With the old aops, writing to a tmpfs file had to use its own special method:
the generic method would pass in a fresh page to prepare_write when the right
page was there in swapcache - which was inefficient to handle, even once we'd
concocted the code to handle it.
With the new aops, the generic method uses shmem_write_end, which lets
shmem_getpage find the right page: so now abandon shmem_file_write in favour
of the generic method. Yes, that does do several things that tmpfs hasn't

Building in a filesystem on a loop device on a tmpfs file can hang when
swapping, the loop thread caught in that infamous throttle_vm_writeout.
In theory this is a long standing problem, which I've either never seen in
practice, or long ago suppressed the recollection, after discounting my load
and my tmpfs size as unrealistically high. But now, with the new aops, it has
become easy to hang on one machine.
Loop used to grab_cache_page before the old prepare_write to tmpfs, which
seems to have been enough to free up some memory for any swapin needed; but
the new write_begin lets tmpfs find or allocate the page (much nicer, since
grab_cache_page missed tmpfs pages in swapcache).
When allocating a fresh page, tmpfs respects loop's mapping_gfp_mask, which
has __GFP_IO|__GFP_FS stripped off, and throttle_vm_writeout is designed to
break out when __GFP_IO or GFP_FS is unset; but when tmfps swaps in,
read_swap_cache_async allocates with GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE regardless of the
mapping_gfp_mask - hence the hang.
So, pass gfp_mask down the line from shmem_getpage to shmem_swapin to
swapin_readahead to read_swap_cache_async to add_to_swap_cache.

For three years swapin_readahead has been cluttered with fanciful CONFIG_NUMA
code, advancing addr, and stepping on to the next vma at the boundary, to line
up the mempolicy for each page allocation.
It _might_ be a good idea to allocate swap more according to vma layout; but
the fact is, that's not how we do it at all, 2.6 even less than 2.4: swap is
allocated as needed for pages as they sink to the bottom of the inactive LRUs.
Sometimes that may match vma layout, but not so often that it's worth going
to these misleading vma->vm_next lengths: rip all that out.
Originally I intended to retain the incrementation of addr, but correct its
initial value: valid_swaphandles generally supplies an offset below the target
addr (this is readaround rather than readahead), but addr has not been
adjusted accordingly, so in the interleave case it has usually been allocating
the target page from the "wrong" node (though that may not matter very much).
But look at the equivalent shmem_swapin code: either by oversight or by
design, though it has all the apparatus for choosing a new mempolicy per page,
it uses the same idx throughout, choosing the same mempolicy and interleave
node for each page of the cluster.
Which is actually a much better strategy: each node has its own LRUs and its
own kswapd, so if you're betting on any particular relationship between swap
and node, the best bet is that nearby swap entries belong to pages from the
same node - even when the mempolicy of the target page is to interleave. And
examining a map of nodes corresponding to swap entries on a numa=fake system
bears this out. (We could later tweak swap allocation to make it even more
likely, but this patch is merely about removing cruft.)
So, neither adjust nor increment addr in swapin_readahead, and then
shmem_swapin can use it too; the pseudo-vma to pass policy need only be set up
once per cluster, and so few fields of pvma are used, let's skip the memset -
from shmem_alloc_page also.

The constructor for buffer_head slabs was removed recently. We need the
constructor back in slab defrag in order to insure that slab objects always
have a definite state even before we allocated them.
I think we mistakenly merged the removal of the constuctor into a cleanup
patch. You (ie: akpm) had a test that showed that the removal of the
constructor led to a small regression. The prior state makes things easier
for slab defrag.

Simplify page cache zeroing of segments of pages through 3 functions
zero_user_segments(page, start1, end1, start2, end2)
Zeros two segments of the page. It takes the position where to
start and end the zeroing which avoids length calculations and
makes code clearer.
zero_user_segment(page, start, end)
Same for a single segment.
zero_user(page, start, length)
Length variant for the case where we know the length.
We remove the zero_user_page macro. Issues:
1. Its a macro. Inline functions are preferable.
2. The KM_USER0 macro is only defined for HIGHMEM.
Having to treat this special case everywhere makes the
code needlessly complex. The parameter for zeroing is always
KM_USER0 except in one single case that we open code.
Avoiding KM_USER0 makes a lot of code not having to be dealing
with the special casing for HIGHMEM anymore. Dealing with
kmap is only necessary for HIGHMEM configurations. In those
configurations we use KM_USER0 like we do for a series of other
functions defined in highmem.h.
Since KM_USER0 is depends on HIGHMEM the existing zero_user_page
function could not be a macro. zero_user_* functions introduced
here can be be inline because that constant is not used when these
functions are called.
Also extract the flushing of the caches to be outside of the kmap.

Teach AVR32 to use the "GPIO Library" when exposing its GPIOs, so that signals
on external chips (like GPIO expanders) can easily be used.
This mostly reorganizes some existing logic, with two minor changes in
behavior:
- The PSR registers are used instead of the previous "gpio_mask" values,
matching AT91 behavior and removing some duplication between that role
and that of "pinmux_mask".
- NR_IRQs grew to acommodate a bank of external GPIOs. Eventually this
number should probably become a board-specific config option.
There's a debugfs dump of status for the built-in GPIOs, showing which pins
have deglitching, pullups, or open drain drive enabled, as well as the ID
string used when requesting each IRQ.

This adds a new-style I2C driver with basic support for the sixteen bit
PCA9539 GPIO expanders. These chips have multiple registers, push-pull output
drivers, and (not supported in this patch) pin change interrupts.
Board-specific code must provide "pca9539_platform_data" with each chip's
"i2c_board_info". That provides the GPIO numbers to be used by that chip, and
callbacks for board-specific setup/teardown logic.
Derived from drivers/i2c/chips/pca9539.c (which has no current known users).
This is faster and simpler; it uses 16-bit register access, and cache the
OUTPUT and DIRECTION registers for fast access

This is a new-style I2C driver for most common 8 and 16 bit I2C based
"quasi-bidirectional" GPIO expanders: pcf8574 or pcf8575, and several
compatible models (mostly faster, supporting I2C at up to 1 MHz).
The driver exposes the GPIO signals using the platform-neutral GPIO
programming interface, so they are easily accessed by other kernel code. The
lack of such a flexible kernel API has been a big factor in the proliferation
of board-specific drivers for these chips... stuff that rarely makes it
upstream since it's so ugly. This driver will let such boards use standard
calls.
Since it's a new-style driver, these devices must be configured as part of
board-specific init. That eliminates the need for error-prone manual
configuration of module parameters, and makes compatibility with legacy
drivers (pcf8574.c, pc8575.c) for these chips easier (there's a clear
either/or disjunction).

Provide new implementation infrastructure that platforms may choose to use
when implementing the GPIO programming interface. Platforms can update their
GPIO support to use this. In many cases the incremental cost to access a
non-inlined GPIO should be less than a dozen instructions, with the memory
cost being about a page (total) of extra data and code. The upside is:
* Providing two features which were "want to have (but OK to defer)" when
GPIO interfaces were first discussed in November 2006:
- A "struct gpio_chip" to plug in GPIOs that aren't directly supported
by SOC platforms, but come from FPGAs or other multifunction devices
using conventional device registers (like UCB-1x00 or SM501 GPIOs,
and southbridges in PCs with more open specs than usual).
- Full support for message-based GPIO expanders, where registers are
accessed through sleeping I/O calls. Previous support for these
"cansleep" calls was just stubs. (One example: the widely used
pcf8574 I2C chips, with 8 GPIOs each.)
* Including a non-stub implementation of the gpio_{request,free}() calls,
making those calls much more useful. The diagnostic labels are also
recorded given DEBUG_FS, so /sys/kernel/debug/gpio can show a snapshot
of all GPIOs known to this infrastructure.
The driver programming interfaces introduced in 2.6.21 do not change at all;
this infrastructure is entirely below those covers.

Add an empty drivers/gpio directory for gpiolib infrastructure and GPIO
expanders. It will be populated by later patches.
This won't be the only place to hold such gpio_chip code. Many external chips
add a few GPIOs as secondary functionality (such as MFD drivers) and platform
code frequently needs to closely integrate GPIO and IRQ support.
This is placed *early* in the build/link sequence since it's common for other
drivers to depend on GPIOs to do their work, so they must be initialized early
in the device_initcall() sequence.

This is a one-line patch to add the following to __scsi_alloc_queue():
dma_set_seg_boundary(dev, shost->dma_boundary);
This is the simplest approach but the result looks odd,
__scsi_alloc_queue() does:
blk_queue_segment_boundary(q, shost->dma_boundary);
dma_set_seg_boundary(dev, shost->dma_boundary);
blk_queue_max_segment_size(q, dma_get_max_seg_size(dev));
I think that it would be better to set up segment boundary in the same
way as we did for the maximum segment size. That is, removing
shost->dma_boundary and LLDs call pci_set_dma_seg_boundary (or its
friends).
Then __scsi_alloc_queue() can set up both limits in the same way:
blk_queue_segment_boundary(q, dma_get_seg_boundary(dev));
blk_queue_max_segment_size(q, dma_get_max_seg_size(dev));
killing dma_boundary in scsi_host_template needs a large patch for
libata (dma_boundary is used by only libata and sym53c8xx). I'll send
a patch to do that if it is acceptable. James and Jeff?
