* Rename it to cgroup_clear_dir() and make it take the pointer to the target cgroup instead of the the dentry. This makes the function consistent with its counterpart - cgroup_populate_dir(). * Move cgroup_clear_directory() invocation from cgroup_d_remove_dir() to cgroup_remount() so that the function doesn't have to determine the cgroup pointer back from the dentry. cgroup_d_remove_dir() now only deals with vfs, which is slightly cleaner. This patch doesn't introduce any functional differences. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>

As for new features, there were a few, but nothing to write to LWN about. These include: New function trigger called "dump" and "cpudump" that will cause ftrace to dump its buffer to the console when the function is called. The difference between "dump" and "cpudump" is that "dump" will dump the entire contents of the ftrace buffer, where as "cpudump" will only dump the contents of the ftrace buffer for the CPU that called the function. Another small enhancement is a new sysctl switch called "traceoff_on_warning" which, when enabled, will disable tracing if any WARN_ON() is triggered.

This reverts commit d2aae847. It is completely and utterly broken. Module install should not build any files, and adding broken dependencies to "help" it build files is complete and utter sh*t. The kernel should not be built by root, and "make install" and "make module_install" (that for obvious reasons need to be run as root) absolutely must not build any files. They should only ever copy the already-built files over. So having dependencies for the install targets is wrong, wrong, wrong. If you try to install a kernel without building it first, you *should* get errors. The build system shouldn't try to help root build the files.

zswap is a thin backend for frontswap that takes pages that are in the process of being swapped out and attempts to compress them and store them in a RAM-based memory pool. This can result in a significant I/O reduction on the swap device and, in the case where decompressing from RAM is faster than reading from the swap device, can also improve workload performance. It also has support for evicting swap pages that are currently compressed in zswap to the swap device on an LRU(ish) basis. This functionality makes zswap a true cache in that, once the cache is full, the oldest pages can be moved out of zswap to the swap device so newer pages can be compressed and stored in zswap.

zbud is an special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to two compressed pages per physical page. While this design limits storage density, it has simple and deterministic reclaim properties that make it preferable to a higher density approach when reclaim will be used. zbud works by storing compressed pages, or "zpages", together in pairs in a single memory page called a "zbud page". The first buddy is "left justifed" at the beginning of the zbud page, and the last buddy is "right justified" at the end of the zbud page. The benefit is that if either buddy is freed, the freed buddy space, coalesced with whatever slack space that existed between the buddies, results in the largest possible free region within the zbud page. zbud also provides an attractive lower bound on density. The ratio of zpages to zbud pages can not be less than 1. This ensures that zbud can never "do harm" by using more pages to store zpages than the uncompressed zpages would have used on their own. This implementation is a rewrite of the zbud allocator internally used by zcache in the driver/staging tree. The rewrite was necessary to remove some of the zcache specific elements that were ingrained throughout and provide a generic allocation interface that can later be used by zsmalloc and others. This patch adds zbud to mm/ for later use by zswap.

dm-switch is a new target that maps IO to underlying block devices efficiently when there is a large number of fixed-sized address regions but there is no simple pattern to allow for a compact mapping representation such as dm-stripe. Though we have developed this target for a specific storage device, Dell EqualLogic, we have made an effort to keep it as general purpose as possible in the hope that others may benefit. Originally developed by Jim Ramsay. Simplified by Mikulas Patocka.

This patch removes "io_lock" and "map_lock" in struct mapped_device and "holders" in struct dm_table and replaces these mechanisms with sleepable-rcu. Previously, the code would call "dm_get_live_table" and "dm_table_put" to get and release table. Now, the code is changed to call "dm_get_live_table" and "dm_put_live_table". dm_get_live_table locks sleepable-rcu and dm_put_live_table unlocks it. dm_get_live_table_fast/dm_put_live_table_fast can be used instead of dm_get_live_table/dm_put_live_table. These *_fast functions use non-sleepable RCU, so the caller must not block between them. If the code changes active or inactive dm table, it must call dm_sync_table before destroying the old table.

This patch changes dm-bufio so that it submits write I/Os outside of the lock. If the number of submitted buffers is greater than the number of requests on the target queue, submit_bio blocks. We want to block outside of the lock to improve latency of other threads that may need the lock. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

Use __always_inline to avoid a link failure with gcc 4.6 on ARM. gcc 4.7 is OK. It creates a function block_div.part.8, it references __udivdi3 and __umoddi3 and it is never called. The references to __udivdi3 and __umoddi3 cause a link failure.

Use __GFP_HIGHMEM in __vmalloc. Pages allocated with __vmalloc can be allocated in high memory that is not directly mapped to kernel space, so use __GFP_HIGHMEM just like vmalloc does.

Fix a boundary condition that caused failure for certain device sizes. The problem is reported at http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/issues/detail?id=160 For certain device sizes the number of hashes at a specific level was calculated incorrectly. It happens for example for a device with data and metadata block size 4096 that has 16385 blocks and algorithm sha256. The user can test if he is affected by this bug by running the "veritysetup verify" command and also by activating the dm-verity kernel driver and reading the whole block device. If it passes without an error, then the user is not affected. The condition for the bug is: Split the total number of data blocks (data_block_bits) into bit strings, each string has hash_per_block_bits bits. hash_per_block_bits is rounddown(log2(metadata_block_size/hash_digest_size)). Equivalently, you can say that you convert data_blocks_bits to 2^hash_per_block_bits base. If there some zero bit string below the most significant bit string and at least one bit below this zero bit string is set, then the bug happens. The same bug exists in the userspace veritysetup tool, so you must use fixed veritysetup too if you want to use devices that are affected by this boundary condition.
