      hugetlbfs: lockdep annotate root inode properly · 65ed7601
      Aneesh Kumar K.V authored 
      This fixes the below reported false lockdep warning.  e096d0c7
("lockdep: Add helper function for dir vs file i_mutex annotation") added
a similar annotation for every other inode in hugetlbfs but missed the
root inode because it was allocated by a separate function.

For HugeTLB fs we allow taking i_mutex in mmap.  HugeTLB fs doesn't
support file write and its file read callback is modified in a05b0855
("hugetlbfs: avoid taking i_mutex from hugetlbfs_read()") to not take
i_mutex.  Hence for HugeTLB fs with regular files we really don't take
i_mutex with mmap_sem held.

      acerhdf: lowered default temp fanon/fanoff values · 351963bb
      Peter Feuerer authored 
      Due to new supported hardware, of which the actual temperature limits of
processor, harddisk and other components are unknown, it feels safer with
lower fanon / fanoff settings.

It won't change much for most people, already using acerhdf, as they use
their own fanon/fanoff variable settings when loading the module.

Furthermore seems like kernel and userspace tools have been improved to
work more efficient and netbooks don't get so hot anymore.

      fs/buffer.c: remove BUG() in possible but rare condition · 61065a30
      Glauber Costa authored 
      While stressing the kernel with with failing allocations today, I hit the
following chain of events:

alloc_page_buffers():

	bh = alloc_buffer_head(GFP_NOFS);
	if (!bh)
		goto no_grow; <= path taken

grow_dev_page():
        bh = alloc_page_buffers(page, size, 0);
        if (!bh)
                goto failed;  <= taken, consequence of the above

and then the failed path BUG()s the kernel.

The failure is inserted a litte bit artificially, but even then, I see no
reason why it should be deemed impossible in a real box.

Even though this is not a condition that we expect to see around every
time, failed allocations are expected to be handled, and BUG() sounds just
too much.  As a matter of fact, grow_dev_page() can return NULL just fine
in other circumstances, so I propose we just remove it, then.

      mm: fix up the vmscan stat in vmstat · 904249aa
      Ying Han authored 
      The "pgsteal" stat is confusing because it counts both direct reclaim as
well as background reclaim.  However, we have "kswapd_steal" which also
counts background reclaim value.

This patch fixes it and also makes it match the existng "pgscan_" stats.

Test:
pgsteal_kswapd_dma32 447623
pgsteal_kswapd_normal 42272677
pgsteal_kswapd_movable 0
pgsteal_direct_dma32 2801

      epoll: clear the tfile_check_list on -ELOOP · 13d51807
      Jason Baron authored 
      An epoll_ctl(,EPOLL_CTL_ADD,,) operation can return '-ELOOP' to prevent
circular epoll dependencies from being created.  However, in that case we
do not properly clear the 'tfile_check_list'.  Thus, add a call to
clear_tfile_check_list() for the -ELOOP case.

      mm/hugetlb: fix warning in alloc_huge_page/dequeue_huge_page_vma · b1c12cbc
      Konstantin Khlebnikov authored 
      Fix a gcc warning (and bug?) introduced in cc9a6c87 ("cpuset: mm: reduce
large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3")

Local variable "page" can be uninitialized if the nodemask from vma policy
does not intersects with nodemask from cpuset.  Even if it doesn't happens
it is better to initialize this variable explicitly than to introduce
a kernel oops in a weird corner case.
