This can be overridden by editing the .config file if you really want it.

This includes the security_* functions, and the default and capability
modules.

This is needed due to the next header file changes.

This patch changes cont_prepare_write(), in order to support a 4G-1
file for FAT32.

 int cont_prepare_write(struct page *page, unsigned offset,
-		unsigned to, get_block_t *get_block, unsigned long *bytes)
+		unsigned to, get_block_t *get_block, loff_t *bytes)

And it fixes broken adfs/affs/fat/hfs/hpfs/qnx4 by this
cont_prepare_write() change.

Been looking at a workload which involves several processes which seek
around and read from a large file.  There are a few problems:
generic_file_lseek is bouncing i_sem around like mad, and readahead is
doing lots of pointless pagecache probing.

This patch addresses readahead.

Presumably the change will be larger on machines which have higher
bandwidth memory than my test box, of which there are many.

This patch teaches readahead to detect the situation where no IO is
actually being performed as a result of its actions.  Now, we don't
want to sacrifice IO efficiency to save a bit of CPU, so the code is
very cautious.  But eventually, after some tens of consecutive
readahead attempts were found to perform no I/O at all, readahead will
turn itself off.

readahead will be turned on again when either generic_file_read() or
filemap_nopage() get a pagecache miss.  The function
handle_ra_thrashing() has been renamed to handle_ra_miss() to reflect
its widened role.

A performance bug in page_cache_readround() was fixed - if
ra->next_size is zero, that function needs to leave it well alone,
because next_size==0 is a magic value meaning that the file has just
been opened and that readahead needs to get aggressive.  This change
makes a `make dep' run at the same speed as in the 2.4 kernel.  It used
to take 4x as long...

`make dep' is an interesting test because it uses mmap to read the files.

The kernel has a number of problems wrt heavy write traffic to multiple
spindles.  What keeps on happening is that all processes which are
responsible for writeback get blocked on one of the queues and all the
others fall idle.

This happens in the balance_dirty_pages() path (balance_dirty() in 2.4)
and in the page reclaim code, when a dirty page is found on the LRU.

The latter is particularly bad because it causes "innocent" processes
to be suspended for long periods due to the activity of heavy writers.

The general idea is: the primary resource for writeback should be the
process which is dirtying memory.  The secondary resource is the
pdflush pool (although this is mainly for providing async writeback in
the presence of light-moderate loads).  Add the final
oh-gee-we-screwed-up resource for writeback is a caller to
shrink_cache().

This patch addresses the balance_dirty_pages() path.  This code was
initially modelled on the 2.4 writeback scheme: throttled processes
writeback all data regardless of its queue.  Instead, the patch changes
it so that the balance_dirty_pages() caller only writes back pages
which are dirty against the queue which that caller just dirtied.

So the effect is a better allocation of writeback resources across the
queues and increased parallelism.

The per-queue writeback is implemented by using
mapping->backing_dev_info as a search key during the walk across the
superblocks and inodes.

The patch also fixes an initialisation problem in
block_dev.c:do_open(): it was setting up the blockdev's
mapping->backing_dev_info too early, before the queue has been
identified.

Generally, this patch doesn't help much, because of the stalls in the
page allocator.  I have a patch which mostly fixes that up, and taken
together the kernel is achieving almost platter speed against six
spindles, but only when the system has a small amount of memory.  More
work is needed there.

A tasty patch from Hugh Dickens.  radix_tree_insert() fails if something
was already present at the target index, so that error can be
propagated back through add_to_page_cache().  Hence
add_to_page_cache_unique() is obsolete.

Hugh's patch removes add_to_page_cache_unique() and cleans up a bunch of
stuff.

Some cleanup from the surprise direct-to-bio for O_DIRECT merge.

- Remove bits and pieces from the kiobuf implementation

- Replace the waitqueue in struct dio with just a task_struct pointer
  and use wake_up_process.  (Ben).

- Only take mmap_sem around the individual calls to get_user_pages().
   (It pins the vmas, yes?)

- Remove some debug code.

- Fix JFS.

Cleanup patch from Martin Bligh: convert some loops which want to be
`for' loops into that, and add some commentary.

generic_writepages() is just a wrapper around mpage_writepages(), so
inline it.

Put the CHECK_EMERGENCY_SYNC back into the kupdate function.  I seem to
keep removing it.

Updated forward-port of Aodrea's O_DIRECT open() checks.  If the user
asked for O_DIRECT and the inode has no mapping or no a_ops then fail
the open up-front.

A patch from Rik which adds some operational statitics to the VM.

In /proc/meminfo:

PageTables:	Amount of memory used for process pagetables
PteChainTot:	Amount of memory allocated for pte_chain objects
PteChainUsed:	Amount of memory currently in use for pte chains.

In /proc/stat:

pageallocs:	Number of pages allocated in the page allocator
pagefrees:	Number of pages returned to the page allocator

		(These can be used to measure the allocation rate)

pageactiv:	Number of pages activated (moved to the active list)
pagedeact:	Number of pages deactivated (moved to the inactive list)
pagefault:	Total pagefaults
majorfault:	Major pagefaults
pagescan:	Number of pages which shrink_cache looked at
pagesteal:	Number of pages which shrink_cache freed
pageoutrun:	Number of calls to try_to_free_pages()
allocstall:	Number of calls to balance_classzone()


Rik will be writing a userspace app which interprets these things.

The /proc/meminfo stats are efficient, but the /proc/stat accumulators
will cause undesirable cacheline bouncing.  We need to break the disk
statistics out of struct kernel_stat and make everything else in there
per-cpu.  If that doesn't happen in time for 2.6 then we disable
KERNEL_STAT_INC().
