mmuless ports don't need dup_mmap nor allocation of a pgd. I tried to avoid ifdef-mess as far as possible, and to archive that I created small wrappers for pgd allocation/freeing and move taking of the mmap semaphore into dup_mmap from the only caller. The end result is just one additiona ifdef.

It's only need for the two monster-inlines set_fs_root and set_fs_pwd that should better be out of line anyway. Some additional cleanup like named initializers as extra bonus.

Once again we only need a forward-declaration of struct vfsmount.

This is a preparation to get rid of the implicit includes in dcache.h and fs_struct.h.

Christoph Hellwig authored
Remove four dead prototypes and don't include mount.h here - fs.h itself doesn't need it at all (just the struct vfsmount forward declaration) and gets it through dcache.h anyway.

This removes the pci_dev "->name[]" field, and makes users use the "struct device" name field instead. It also trimps it down to 50 bytes and limited the length of the vendor & device descriptions to 20 bytes each. Now we have three cases: - unknown vendor & unknown device -> "PCI device %04x:%04x". Clearly limited to 21 chars. - known vendor, unknown device -> "PCI device %04x:%04x (%.20s)" 24 + 20 chars - known vendor, known device -> "%.20s %.20s" 20 + 1 + 20 + 1, EXCEPT: - multiple devices of the same type add " (#%d)" so 42 + 4 + 4 = 50. This is the point where an IBMer tells me they intend to sell a machine with > 9999 PCI devices of the same type ;-) This limits the PCI IDs to a reasonable amount of space. For release, I think we do want to go back up to 80 for prettier output

The inode reclaim is too aggressive at present - it is causing the shootdown of lots of recently-used pagecache. Simple testcase: run a huge `dd' while running a concurrent `watch -n1 cat /proc/meminfo'. The program text for `cat' gets loaded from disk once per second. This is in fact because the dentry_unused reclaim is too aggressive. (The general approach to inode reclaim is that it _not_ happen at the inode level. All the aging and lru activity happens at the dcache level.) The problem is partly due to a bug: shrink_dcache_memory() is returning the *total* number of dentries to the VM, rather than the number of unused dentries. This patch fixes that, and goes a little further. We do want to keep some unused dentries around. Reclaiming the last few thousand dentries is pretty pointless, and will allow reclaim of the last few thousand inodes and their attached pagecache. So the algorithm I have used is to not allow the number of unused dentries to fall below the number of used ones. This keeps a reasonable number of dentries in cache while providing a level of scaling to the system size and the current system activity. (Magic number alert: why not pin nr_unused to seven times nr_used, rather than one times??) shrink_dcache_memory() has been changed to tell the VM that the number of shrinkable dentries is: zero if (nr_unused < nr_used) otherwise (nr_unused - nr_used) so when there is memory pressure the VM will prune the unused dentry cache down to the size of the used dentry cache, but not below that. The patch also arranges (awkwardly) for all modifications of dentry_stat.nr_dentry to occur inside dcache_lock - it was racy.

Replace some kmaps in mpage.c with kmap_atomic.

Stephen Tweedie reports a 2.4.7 problem in which kswapd is chewing lots of CPU trying to reclaim inodes which are pinned by buffer_heads at i_dirty_buffers. This can only happen when there's memory pressure on ZONE_HIGHMEM - the 2.4 kernel runs shrink_icache_memory in that case as well. But there's no reclaim pressure on ZONE_NORMAL so the VM is never running try_to_free_buffers() against the ZONE_NORMAL buffers which are pinning the inodes. The 2.5 kernel also runs the slab shrinkers in response to ZONE_HIGHMEM pressure. This may be wrong - still thinking about that. This patch arranges for prune_icache to try to remove the inode's buffers when the inode is to be reclaimed. It also changes inode_has_buffers() and the other inode-buffer-list functions to look at inode->i_data, not inode->i_mapping. The latter was wrong.

slab does various consistency checks during `cat /proc/slabinfo' processing. If it finds one it stupidly goes BUG just before displaying the info which is required to diagnose the bug. Change it to not go BUG, but to emit some useful printks and continue. The patch also removes an uninteresting printk from the boot process.

Patch from Rohit Seth, changelog from Bill Irwin: (1) fixes failure to clear key->busy (yes, it's always under a lock) (2) fixes key->count being unconditionally set to 1 in alloc_key() (3) reduces search to key->size >> HPAGE_SHIFT from key->size (4) actually uses vma->vm_private_data to release the key as intended plus the cleanup: (5) removes the int *new argument to alloc_key()

A rollup of Bill's 11-patch series which replaces hugetlb's custom inode with a bare radix tree. Reviewed and acked by Rohit. - revert doublefreeing patch - Put set_new_inode() and the inode allocation loop into an alloc_key(), and introduce a new opaque type "struct hugetlb_key". - Wrap the release path in alloc_shared_hugetlb_pages() with a release_key() function that handles the release. - Wrap hugetlb_prefault() with prefault_key() in order to isolate the dependency on inodes for prefaulting the hugetlb vma. - Replaces the usage of inode->i_writecount as a flag marking keys busy with a boolean flag field in struct htlbpagekey, and removes the last dependency of alloc_shared_hugetlb_pages() on struct inode. - Remove the last direct usage of struct inode within the hugetlb functions. - Removes many direct usages of struct inode within the key manipulation API in exchange for passing references to the key structure itself. - Expand out prefault_key() into its hugetlb_prefault() component, but substitute stubs to abstract out inode access. - Move uid/gid/mode/size fields used in struct inode and the checks on them into key management code and structures. - Substitute direct usage of radix trees for inodes, and removes the custom-allocated inodes. - Wrap up the release path by adding proper refcounting of keys.

Patch from Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> tmpfs failed fsx+swapout tests after many hours, a page found zeroed. Not a truncate problem, but mirror image of earlier truncate problems: swap goes through mpage_writepages, which must therefore allow for a sudden swizzle back to file identity. Second time this caught us, so I've audited the tree for other places which might be surprised by such swizzling. The only others I found were (perhaps) in the parisc and sparc64 flush_dcache_page called from do_generic_mapping_read on a looped tmpfs file which is also mmapped; but that's a very marginal case, I wanted to understand it better before making any edit, and now realize that hch's sendfile in loop eliminates it (now go through do_shmem_file_read instead: similar but crucially this locks the page when raising its count, which is enough to keep vmscan from interfering).

Patch from Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> swap_readpage and swap_writepage forgot to unlock_page if get_swap_bio failed.

Patch from Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> On some architectures (cachetlb.txt gives HyperSparc as an example) it is essential to flush_cache_page while pte is still valid: the rmap VM diverged from the base 2.4 VM before that fix was made, so this error has crept back into 2.5. Patch below applies to 2.5.47 or 2.5.47-mm1 - needs more work over shared pagetables, but they've silently fallen out of 2.5.47-mm1: oversight? I'll send Alan the equivalent for 2.4-ac shortly. (I wonder, what happens if userspace now modifies the page after the flush_cache_page, before the pte is invalidated?)

Patch from Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> Add a gfp_mask parameter to the free() callback so that the callback can safely do I/O, etc. The free callback can now also fail. This will be needed by reiserfs. The order of entries on the cache entry lru is reversed so that list_for_each_safe() can be used. Several helper functions that don't make the code any better are removed. Finally, a couple of cosmetic things.

From Badari. bio_add_page returns zero on failure - we need to propagate that to the dio_bio_add_page() caller.

This patch removes all the wait_queue handling code from sched.h and puts it in wait.h with the rest of the wait_queue handling code. Note that sched.h must continue to include wait.h for the wait_queue_head_t embedded in struct task. However there may be files which only need wait.h now.

It really makes no sense to have request_irq and free_irq in sched.h Let's move them to interrupt.h instead. Note that I also remove sched.h from interrupt.h since it's not needed.

A minor removal of 6 function definitions from sched.h. They clearly fit better in file.h. All users of these functions already include file.h. And none of them included sched.h directly...

Still not safe (we use __MOD_INC_USE_COUNT in paride.c; old code has MOD_INC_USE_COUNT in protocol drivers), but that takes crap in one place. ->owner added paride.c grabs/releases it if if present ->proto_init() became empty for almost everything ->proto_release() <<--->> ->proto_init() returns int now (the only case where we do have a non-empty ->proto_init() needed that all along). paride.c taught to deal with that.

dasd_proc.c : should be using ->owner instead of MOD_..._USE_COUNT in ->open()/->release(). s390/char/tape.c, s390/char/tapechar.c, usb/image/scanner.c, intermezzo/psdev.c: ditto intermezzo/super.c: they forgot to remove MOD_INC_USE_COUNT from the ..._fill_super() binfmt_som.c: ->load_binary() and ->load_library() don't need MOD_INC_USE_COUNT, since ->module is correctly set.
