37610ff3cb [PATCH] fix Kconfig depends for cs89x0 (PNX010X support)
PNX010X support for CS89x0 should be conditional on NET_PCI, as it is an 'on
board controller' and NET_PCI includes that category of NICs.  Since
ARCH_PNX0105 was recently changed to ARCH_PNX010X, incorporate that change as
well while we're at it.

45b07ef31d [PATCH] cpusets: swap migration interface
Add a boolean "memory_migrate" to each cpuset, represented by a file
containing "0" or "1" in each directory below /dev/cpuset.

It defaults to false (file contains "0").  It can be set true by writing
"1" to the file.

If true, then anytime that a task is attached to the cpuset so marked, the
pages of that task will be moved to that cpuset, preserving, to the extent
practical, the cpuset-relative placement of the pages.

Also anytime that a cpuset so marked has its memory placement changed (by
writing to its "mems" file), the tasks in that cpuset will have their pages
moved to the cpusets new nodes, preserving, to the extent practical, the
cpuset-relative placement of the moved pages.

39743889aa [PATCH] Swap Migration V5: sys_migrate_pages interface
sys_migrate_pages implementation using swap based page migration

This is the original API proposed by Ray Bryant in his posts during the first
half of 2005 on linux-mm@kvack.org and linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org.

The intent of sys_migrate is to migrate memory of a process.  A process may
have migrated to another node.  Memory was allocated optimally for the prior
context.  sys_migrate_pages allows to shift the memory to the new node.

sys_migrate_pages is also useful if the processes available memory nodes have
changed through cpuset operations to manually move the processes memory.  Paul
Jackson is working on an automated mechanism that will allow an automatic
migration if the cpuset of a process is changed.  However, a user may decide
to manually control the migration.

This implementation is put into the policy layer since it uses concepts and
functions that are also needed for mbind and friends.  The patch also provides
a do_migrate_pages function that may be useful for cpusets to automatically
move memory.  sys_migrate_pages does not modify policies in contrast to Ray's
implementation.

The current code here is based on the swap based page migration capability and
thus is not able to preserve the physical layout relative to it containing
nodeset (which may be a cpuset).  When direct page migration becomes available
then the implementation needs to be changed to do a isomorphic move of pages
between different nodesets.  The current implementation simply evicts all
pages in source nodeset that are not in the target nodeset.

Patch supports ia64, i386 and x86_64.

49d2e9cc45 [PATCH] Swap Migration V5: migrate_pages() function
This adds the basic page migration function with a minimal implementation that
only allows the eviction of pages to swap space.

Page eviction and migration may be useful to migrate pages, to suspend
programs or for remapping single pages (useful for faulty pages or pages with
soft ECC failures)

The process is as follows:

The function wanting to migrate pages must first build a list of pages to be
migrated or evicted and take them off the lru lists via isolate_lru_page().
isolate_lru_page determines that a page is freeable based on the LRU bit set.

Then the actual migration or swapout can happen by calling migrate_pages().

migrate_pages does its best to migrate or swapout the pages and does multiple
passes over the list.  Some pages may only be swappable if they are not dirty.
 migrate_pages may start writing out dirty pages in the initial passes over
the pages.  However, migrate_pages may not be able to migrate or evict all
pages for a variety of reasons.

The remaining pages may be returned to the LRU lists using putback_lru_pages().

Changelog V4->V5:
- Use the lru caches to return pages to the LRU

Changelog V3->V4:
- Restructure code so that applying patches to support full migration does
  require minimal changes. Rename swapout_pages() to migrate_pages().

Changelog V2->V3:
- Extract common code from shrink_list() and swapout_pages()

21eac81f25 [PATCH] Swap Migration V5: LRU operations
This is the start of the `swap migration' patch series.

Swap migration allows the moving of the physical location of pages between
nodes in a numa system while the process is running.  This means that the
virtual addresses that the process sees do not change.  However, the system
rearranges the physical location of those pages.

The main intent of page migration patches here is to reduce the latency of
memory access by moving pages near to the processor where the process
accessing that memory is running.

The patchset allows a process to manually relocate the node on which its
pages are located through the MF_MOVE and MF_MOVE_ALL options while
setting a new memory policy.

The pages of process can also be relocated from another process using the
sys_migrate_pages() function call.  Requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN.  The migrate_pages
function call takes two sets of nodes and moves pages of a process that are
located on the from nodes to the destination nodes.

Manual migration is very useful if for example the scheduler has relocated a
process to a processor on a distant node.  A batch scheduler or an
administrator can detect the situation and move the pages of the process
nearer to the new processor.

sys_migrate_pages() could be used on non-numa machines as well, to force all
of a particualr process's pages out to swap, if someone thinks that's useful.

Larger installations usually partition the system using cpusets into sections
of nodes.  Paul has equipped cpusets with the ability to move pages when a
task is moved to another cpuset.  This allows automatic control over locality
of a process.  If a task is moved to a new cpuset then also all its pages are
moved with it so that the performance of the process does not sink
dramatically (as is the case today).

Swap migration works by simply evicting the page.  The pages must be faulted
back in.  The pages are then typically reallocated by the system near the node
where the process is executing.

For swap migration the destination of the move is controlled by the allocation
policy.  Cpusets set the allocation policy before calling sys_migrate_pages()
in order to move the pages as intended.

No allocation policy changes are performed for sys_migrate_pages().  This
means that the pages may not faulted in to the specified nodes if no
allocation policy was set by other means.  The pages will just end up near the
node where the fault occurred.

There's another patch series in the pipeline which implements "direct
migration".

The direct migration patchset extends the migration functionality to avoid
going through swap.  The destination node of the relation is controllable
during the actual moving of pages.  The crutch of using the allocation policy
to relocate is not necessary and the pages are moved directly to the target.
Its also faster since swap is not used.

And sys_migrate_pages() can then move pages directly to the specified node.
Implement functions to isolate pages from the LRU and put them back later.

This patch:

An earlier implementation was provided by Hirokazu Takahashi
<taka@valinux.co.jp> and IWAMOTO Toshihiro <iwamoto@valinux.co.jp> for the
memory hotplug project.

From: Magnus

This breaks out isolate_lru_page() and putpack_lru_page().  Needed for swap

15316ba81a [PATCH] add schedule_on_each_cpu()
swap migration's isolate_lru_page() currently uses an IPI to notify other
processors that the lru caches need to be drained if the page cannot be
found on the LRU.  The IPI interrupt may interrupt a processor that is just
processing lru requests and cause a race condition.

This patch introduces a new function run_on_each_cpu() that uses the
keventd() to run the LRU draining on each processor.  Processors disable
preemption when dealing the LRU caches (these are per processor) and thus
executing LRU draining from another process is safe.

Thanks to Lee Schermerhorn <lee.schermerhorn@hp.com> for finding this race
condition.

48db57f8ff [PATCH] mm: free_pages opt
Try to streamline free_pages_bulk by ensuring callers don't pass in a
'count' that exceeds the list size.

Some cleanups:
Rename __free_pages_bulk to __free_one_page.
Put the page list manipulation from __free_pages_ok into free_one_page.
Make __free_pages_ok static.

23316bc86f [PATCH] mm: cleanup zone_pcp
Use zone_pcp everywhere even though NUMA code "knows" the internal details
of the zone.  Stop other people trying to copy, and it looks nicer.

Also, only print the pagesets of online cpus in zoneinfo.

8ad4b1fb82 [PATCH] Make high and batch sizes of per_cpu_pagelists configurable
As recently there has been lot of traffic on the right values for batch and
high water marks for per_cpu_pagelists.  This patch makes these two
variables configurable through /proc interface.

A new tunable /proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_fraction is added.  This entry
controls the fraction of pages at most in each zone that are allocated for
each per cpu page list.  The min value for this is 8.  It means that we
don't allow more than 1/8th of pages in each zone to be allocated in any
single per_cpu_pagelist.

The batch value of each per cpu pagelist is also updated as a result.  It
is set to pcp->high/4.  The upper limit of batch is (PAGE_SHIFT * 8)

9d0243bca3 [PATCH] drop-pagecache
Add /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches.  When written to, this will cause the kernel to
discard as much pagecache and/or reclaimable slab objects as it can.  THis
operation requires root permissions.

It won't drop dirty data, so the user should run `sync' first.

Caveats:

a) Holds inode_lock for exorbitant amounts of time.

b) Needs to be taught about NUMA nodes: propagate these all the way through
   so the discarding can be controlled on a per-node basis.

This is a debugging feature: useful for getting consistent results between
filesystem benchmarks.  We could possibly put it under a config option, but
it's less than 300 bytes.

f9f7500521 [PATCH] slab: remove unused align parameter from alloc_percpu
__alloc_percpu and alloc_percpu both take an 'align' argument which is
completely ignored.  snmp6_mib_init() in net/ipv6/af_inet6.c attempts to use
it, but it will be ignored.  Therefore, remove the 'align' argument and fixup
the lone caller.
