[PATCH] mm: remove VM_LOCKED before remap_pfn_range and drop VM_SHM
Remove VM_LOCKED before remap_pfn range from device drivers and get rid of
VM_SHM.
remap_pfn_range() already sets VM_IO. There is no need to set VM_SHM since
it does nothing. VM_LOCKED is of no use since the remap_pfn_range does not
place pages on the LRU. The pages are therefore never subject to swap
anyways. Remove all the vm_flags settings before calling remap_pfn_range.
After removing all the vm_flag settings no use of VM_SHM is left. Drop it.

[PATCH] AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE victims in read_pages() belong in the LRU
AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE victims in read_pages() belong in the LRU
Nick Piggin rightly pointed out that the introduction of AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE
to read_pages() was wrong to leave A_T_P victim pages in the page cache but
not put them in the LRU. Failing to do so hid them from the VM.
A_T_P just means that the aop method unlocked the page rather than
performing IO. It would be very rare that the page was truncated between
the unlock and testing A_T_P. So we leave the pages in the LRU for likely
reuse soon rather than backing them back out of the page cache. We do this
by matching the behaviour before the A_T_P introduction which added pages
to the LRU regardless of what ->readpage() did.
This doesn't include the unrelated cleanup in Nick's initial fix which
changed read_pages() to return void to match its only caller's behaviour of
ignoring errors.

As Al so eloquently points out, the patch is crap. The old code was fine,
the new code was bogus.
It never dereferenced a user pointer, the "->" operator was to an array
member, which gives the _address_ of the member (in user space), not an
actual dereference at all.
[ARM] 3648/1: Update struct ucontext layout for coprocessor registers
Patch from Daniel Jacobowitz
In order for userspace to find saved coprocessor registers, move them from
struct rt_sigframe into struct ucontext. Also allow space for glibc's
sigset_t, so that userspace and kernelspace can use the same ucontext
layout. Define the magic numbers for iWMMXt in the header file for easier
reference. Include the size of the coprocessor data in the magic numbers.
Also define magic numbers and layout for VFP, not yet saved.

[SPARC64]: Fix for Niagara memory corruption.
On some sun4v systems, after netboot the ethernet controller and it's
DMA mappings can be left active. The net result is that the kernel
can end up using memory the ethernet controller will continue to DMA
into, resulting in corruption.
To deal with this, we are more careful about importing IOMMU
translations which OBP has left in the IO-TLB. If the mapping maps
into an area the firmware claimed was free and available memory for
the kernel to use, we demap instead of import that IOMMU entry.
This is going to cause the network chip to take a PCI master abort on
the next DMA it attempts, if it has been left going like this. All
tests show that this is handled properly by the PCI layer and the e1000
drivers.

This is a collection of patches that greatly improve CFQ performance
in some circumstances.
- Change the idling logic to only kick in after a request is done and we
are deciding what to do. Before the idling included the request service
time, so it was hard to adjust. Now it's true think/idle time.
- Take advantage of TCQ/NCQ/queueing for seeky sync workloads, but keep
it in control for sync and sequential (or close to) workloads.
- Expire queues immediately and move on to other busy queues, if we are
not going to idle after the current one finishes.
- Don't rearm idle timer if there are no busy queues. Just leave the
system idle.

[PATCH] cfq-iosched: correctly set ioprio on both targets
Patch originally from Vasily Tarasov <vtaras@sw.ru>
If you set io-priority of process 1 using sys_ioprio_set system call by
another process 2 (like ionice do), then cfq_init_prio_data() function
sets priority of process 2 (current) on queue of process 1 and clears
the flag, that designates change of ioprio. So the process 1 will work
like with priority of process 2.
I propose not to call cfq_init_prio_data() on io-priority change, but
only mark queue as queue with changed prority. Every time when new
request comes cfq-scheduler checks for this flag and atomaticaly changes
priority of queue to new value.

[PATCH] Kill PF_SYNCWRITE flag
A process flag to indicate whether we are doing sync io is incredibly
ugly. It also causes performance problems when one does a lot of async
io and then proceeds to sync it. Part of the io will go out as async,
and the other part as sync. This causes a disconnect between the
previously submitted io and the synced io. For io schedulers such as CFQ,
this will cause us lost merges and suboptimal behaviour in scheduling.
Remove PF_SYNCWRITE completely from the fsync/msync paths, and let
the O_DIRECT path just directly indicate that the writes are sync
by using WRITE_SYNC instead.
