4aa7c80193 [PATCH] ppc32: Fix static IO mapping for Freescale MPC52xx
The current iomapping used MBAR_SIZE for the size argument of
io_block_mapping, resulting in a call to setbat with a size argument of 64k
which is invalid.

This patch correct this and maps the whole 0xf0000000->0xffffffff range so
that devices on the local bus are also included in the BAT mapping.

Thanks to Bernhard Kuhn from Metrowerks for pointing this out.

d62de3aa8a [PATCH] ppc32/serial: Change mpc52xx_uart.c to use the Low Density Serial port major
Before this patch we were just using the "classic" /dev/ttySx devices.
However when another on the system is loaded that uses those (like drivers for
serial PCMCIA), that creates a conflict for the minors.  Therefore, we now use
/dev/ttyPSC[0:5] (note the 0-based numbering !) with some minors we've been
assigned in the "Low Density Serial port major"

d3cb487149 [PATCH] atomic_long_t & include/asm-generic/atomic.h V2
Several counters already have the need to use 64 atomic variables on 64 bit
platforms (see mm_counter_t in sched.h).  We have to do ugly ifdefs to fall
back to 32 bit atomic on 32 bit platforms.

The VM statistics patch that I am working on will also make more extensive
use of atomic64.

This patch introduces a new type atomic_long_t by providing definitions in
asm-generic/atomic.h that works similar to the c "long" type.  Its 32 bits
on 32 bit platforms and 64 bits on 64 bit platforms.

Also cleans up the determination of the mm_counter_t in sched.h.

4be38e351c [PATCH] mm: move determination of policy_zone into page allocator
Currently the function to build a zonelist for a BIND policy has the side
effect to set the policy_zone.  This seems to be a bit strange.  policy
zone seems to not be initialized elsewhere and therefore 0.  Do we police
ZONE_DMA if no bind policy has been used yet?

the page allocator.  We determine the zone while building the zonelist for
nodes.

210fe53030 [PATCH] vmscan: balancing fix
Revert a patch which went into 2.6.8-rc1.  The changelog for that patch was:

  The shrink_zone() logic can, under some circumstances, cause far too many
  pages to be reclaimed.  Say, we're scanning at high priority and suddenly
  hit a large number of reclaimable pages on the LRU.

  Change things so we bale out when SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages have been
  reclaimed.

Problem is, this change caused significant imbalance in inter-zone scan
balancing by truncating scans of larger zones.

Suppose, for example, ZONE_HIGHMEM is 10x the size of ZONE_NORMAL.  The zone
balancing algorithm would require that if we're scanning 100 pages of
ZONE_HIGHMEM, we should scan 10 pages of ZONE_NORMAL.  But this logic will
cause the scanning of ZONE_HIGHMEM to bale out after only 32 pages are
reclaimed.  Thus effectively causing smaller zones to be scanned relatively
harder than large ones.

Now I need to remember what the workload was which caused me to write this
patch originally, then fix it up in a different way...

bbfbb7cec9 [PATCH] find_lock_page(): call __lock_page() directly.
As find_lock_page() already checks with TestSetPageLocked() that page is
locked, there is no need to call lock_page() that will try-lock page again
(chances of page being unlocked in between are small).  Call __lock_page()
directly, this saves one atomic operation.

Also, mark truncate-while-slept path as unlikely while we are here.

(akpm: ug.  But this is actually a common path for normal old read()s against
a page which is under readahead I/O so ho-hum.)

2bdaf115b1 [PATCH] flatmem split out memory model
There are three places we define pfn_to_nid().  Two in linux/mmzone.h and one
in asm/mmzone.h.  These in essence represent the three memory models.  The
definition in linux/mmzone.h under !NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES is both the FLATMEM
definition and the optimisation for single NUMA nodes; the one under SPARSEMEM
is the NUMA sparsemem one; the one in asm/mmzone.h under DISCONTIGMEM is the
discontigmem one.  This is not in the least bit obvious, particularly the
connection between the non-NUMA optimisations and the memory models.

Two patches:

flatmem-split-out-memory-model: simplifies the selection of pfn_to_nid()
implementations.  The selection is based primarily off the memory model
selected.  Optimisations for non-NUMA are applied where needed.

sparse-provide-pfn_to_nid: implement pfn_to_nid() for SPARSEMEM

This patch:

pfn_to_nid is memory model specific

The pfn_to_nid() call is memory model specific.  It represents the locality
identifier for the memory passed.  Classically this would be a NUMA node,
but not a chunk of memory under DISCONTIGMEM.

The SPARSEMEM and FLATMEM memory model non-NUMA versions of pfn_to_nid()
are folded together under NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES, while DISCONTIGMEM has its
own optimisation.  This is all very confusing.

This patch splits out each implementation of pfn_to_nid() so that we can
see them and the optimisations to each.

6bda666a03 [PATCH] hugepages: fold find_or_alloc_pages into huge_no_page()
The number of parameters for find_or_alloc_page increases significantly after
policy support is added to huge pages.  Simplify the code by folding
find_or_alloc_huge_page() into hugetlb_no_page().

Adam Litke objected to this piece in an earlier patch but I think this is a
good simplification.  Diffstat shows that we can get rid of almost half of the
lines of find_or_alloc_page().  If we can find no consensus then lets simply
drop this patch.

21abb1478a [PATCH] Remove old node based policy interface from mempolicy.c
mempolicy.c contains provisional interface for huge page allocation based on
node numbers.  This is in use in SLES9 but was never used (AFAIK) in upstream
versions of Linux.

Huge page allocations now use zonelists to figure out where to allocate pages.
 The use of zonelists allows us to find the closest hugepage which was the
consideration of the NUMA distance for huge page allocations.

Remove the obsolete functions.

5da7ca8607 [PATCH] Add NUMA policy support for huge pages.
The huge_zonelist() function in the memory policy layer provides an list of
zones ordered by NUMA distance.  The hugetlb layer will walk that list looking
for a zone that has available huge pages but is also in the nodeset of the
current cpuset.

This patch does not contain the folding of find_or_alloc_huge_page() that was
controversial in the earlier discussion.

96df9333c9 [PATCH] mm: dequeue a huge page near to this node
This was discussed at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113166526217117&w=2

This patch changes the dequeueing to select a huge page near the node
executing instead of always beginning to check for free nodes from node 0.
This will result in a placement of the huge pages near the executing
processor improving performance.

The existing implementation can place the huge pages far away from the
executing processor causing significant degradation of performance.  The
search starting from zero also means that the lower zones quickly run out
of memory.  Selecting a huge page near the process distributed the huge
pages better.

1e8f889b10 [PATCH] Hugetlb: Copy on Write support
Implement copy-on-write support for hugetlb mappings so MAP_PRIVATE can be
supported.  This helps us to safely use hugetlb pages in many more
applications.  The patch makes the following changes.  If needed, I also have
it broken out according to the following paragraphs.

1. Add a pair of functions to set/clear write access on huge ptes.  The
   writable check in make_huge_pte is moved out to the caller for use by COW
   later.

2. Hugetlb copy-on-write requires special case handling in the following
   situations:

   - copy_hugetlb_page_range() - Copied pages must be write protected so
     a COW fault will be triggered (if necessary) if those pages are written
     to.

   - find_or_alloc_huge_page() - Only MAP_SHARED pages are added to the
     page cache.  MAP_PRIVATE pages still need to be locked however.

3. Provide hugetlb_cow() and calls from hugetlb_fault() and
   hugetlb_no_page() which handles the COW fault by making the actual copy.

4. Remove the check in hugetlbfs_file_map() so that MAP_PRIVATE mmaps
   will be allowed.  Make MAP_HUGETLB exempt from the depricated VM_RESERVED
   mapping check.

86e5216f8d [PATCH] Hugetlb: Reorganize hugetlb_fault to prepare for COW
This patch splits the "no_page()" type activity into its own function,
hugetlb_no_page().  hugetlb_fault() becomes the entry point for hugetlb faults
and delegates to the appropriate handler depending on the type of fault.
Right now we still have only hugetlb_no_page() but a later patch introduces a
COW fault.

85ef47f74a [PATCH] Hugetlb: Rename find_lock_page to find_or_alloc_huge_page
find_lock_huge_page() isn't a great name, since it does extra things not
analagous to find_lock_page().  Rename it find_or_alloc_huge_page() which is
closer to the mark.
