Instead of specifying the preemption granularity, specify the wanted
latency. By fixing the granlarity to a constany the wakeup latency
it a function of the number of running tasks on the rq.
Invert this relation.
sysctl_sched_granularity becomes a minimum for the dynamic granularity
computed from the new sysctl_sched_latency.
Then use this latency to do more intelligent granularity decisions: if
there are fewer tasks running then we can schedule coarser. This helps
performance while still always keeping the latency target.

dvb-pll module. However, there was a minor difference between the code
in lgh06xf and dvb-pll, which caused a regression in b2c2-flexcop
devices using the LG-H06xF NIM.
dvb-pll will probe for the presence of an i2c pll chip by performing a
single byte read, the lgh06xf driver did not do this. Unfortunately, the
code in flexcop-i2c.c does not currently support 1 byte or 0 byte reads
as a probe. Such probes with the current code will always fail.
In order to work around this problem, and restore proper functionality
of the Airstar HD5000 device, this hack was created to make the probe
appear to succeed. The single byte read in dvb_pll_attach is the only
place where such a probe would ever occur, so this change is safe, and
will not affect any other devices.
Of course, if one knew how to actually perform the read operation, it
would be better to go that route. In the meantime, however, we must
apply this workaround, in order to prevent the regression that causes
tuning to fail on the Airstar HD5000 ATSC device.

Previously I reported that the pata_pdc2027x PLL detection changes
in kernel 2.6.22 broke the driver on my PowerMac:
>pata_pdc2027x: Invalid PLL input clock 1691742kHz, give up!
This is followed by a number of errors and speed reduction
steps on the affected ports.
There are two bugs in pata_pdc2027x's PLL detection code:
1. The PLL counter's start value is read before the chip is
put in "test mode". Outside of test mode the counter is
halted, and on the PowerMac the counter is zero because
the chip hasn't been initialised by its BIOS.
The fix is to move the read of the start value to after
test mode is started, but before the mdelay() in test mode.
This also improves the precision of the PLL detection.
2. The code to compute the number of PLL decrements during the
mdelay() in test mode fails to consider that the PLL counter
only is 30 bits wide. If there is a wraparound, it will compute
an incorrect and much too large value. On the PowerMac, the
start count is zero, the end count is a large 30-bit value, so
wraparound occurs and an out of bounds PLL clock is detected.
The fix is to mask the (start - end) computation to 30 bits.
While debugging this I also noticed that pdc_read_counter()
reads the two halves of the 30-bit PLL counter as 16-bit values,
and then combines them as if the halves only are 15 bits wide.
To avoid confusion, the halves should be read as 15-bit values.
This patch implements all three changes. It fixes the PLL detection
failure on my PowerMac, and doesn't cause any regressions on an x86
with an identical card.

zone is used.
This patch applies policies to the two highest zones when the highest zone

autofs4: deadlock during create
Due to inconsistent locking in the VFS between calls to lookup and
revalidate deadlock can occur in the automounter.
The inconsistency is that the directory inode mutex is held for both lookup
and revalidate calls when called via lookup_hash whereas it is held only
for lookup during a path walk. Consequently, if the mutex is held during a
call to revalidate autofs4 can't release the mutex to callback the daemon
as it can't know whether it owns the mutex.
This situation happens when a process tries to create a directory within an
automount and a second process also tries to create the same directory
between the lookup and the mkdir. Since the first process has dropped the
mutex for the daemon callback, the second process takes it during
revalidate leading to deadlock between the autofs daemon and the second
process when the daemon tries to create the mount point directory.
After spending quite a bit of time trying to resolve this on more than one
occassion, using rather complex and ulgy approaches, it turns out that just
delaying the hashing of the dentry until the create operation works fine.

slab: skip calling cache_free_alien() when the platform is not numa capable
Skip calling cache_free_alien() when the platform is not numa capable.
This will avoid cache misses that happen while accessing slabp (which is
per page memory reference) to get nodeid. Instead use a global variable to
skip the call, which is mostly likely to be present in the cache.
This gives a 0.8% performance boost with the database oltp workload on a
quad-core SMP platform and by any means the number is not small :)

signalfd: make it group-wide, fix posix-timers scheduling
With this patch any thread can dequeue its own private signals via signalfd,
even if it was created by another sub-thread.
To do so, we pass "current" to dequeue_signal() if the caller is from the same
thread group. This also fixes the scheduling of posix timers broken by the
previous patch.
If the caller doesn't belong to this thread group, we can't handle __SI_TIMER
case properly anyway. Perhaps we should forbid the cross-process signalfd usage
and convert ctx->tsk to ctx->sighand.

synchronous lumpy reclaim: wait for page writeback when directly reclaiming contiguous areas
Lumpy reclaim works by selecting a lead page from the LRU list and then
selecting pages for reclaim from the order-aligned area of pages. In the
situation were all pages in that region are inactive and not referenced by any
process over time, it works well.
In the situation where there is even light load on the system, the pages may
not free quickly. Out of a area of 1024 pages, maybe only 950 of them are
freed when the allocation attempt occurs because lumpy reclaim returned early.
This patch alters the behaviour of direct reclaim for large contiguous
blocks.
The first attempt to call shrink_page_list() is asynchronous but if it fails,
the pages are submitted a second time and the calling process waits for the IO
to complete. This may stall allocators waiting for contiguous memory but that
should be expected behaviour for high-order users. It is preferable behaviour
to potentially queueing unnecessary areas for IO. Note that kswapd will not
stall in this fashion.

synchronous lumpy reclaim: ensure we count pages transitioning inactive via clear_active_flags
As pointed out by Mel when reclaim is applied at higher orders a significant
amount of IO may be started. As this takes finite time to drain reclaim will
consider more areas than ultimatly needed to satisfy the request. This leads
to more reclaim than strictly required and reduced success rates.
I was able to confirm Mel's test results on systems locally. These show that
even under light load the success rates drop off far more than expected.
Testing with a modified version of his patch (which follows) I was able to
allocate almost all of ZONE_MOVABLE with a near idle system. I ran 5 test
passes sequentially following system boot (the system has 29 hugepages in
ZONE_MOVABLE):
2.6.23-rc1 11 8 6 7 7
sync_lumpy 28 28 29 29 26
These show that although hugely better than the near 0% success normally
expected we can only allocate about a 1/4 of the zone. Using synchronous
reclaim for these allocations we get close to 100% as expected.
I have also run our standard high order tests and these show no regressions in
allocation success rates at rest, and some significant improvements under
load.
This patch:
We are transitioning pages from active to inactive in clear_active_flags,
those need counting as PGDEACTIVATE vm events.
