b1e6a015a5 fs: change d_hash for rcu-walk
Change d_hash so it may be called from lock-free RCU lookups. See similar
patch for d_compare for details.

For in-tree filesystems, this is just a mechanical change.

621e155a35 fs: change d_compare for rcu-walk
Change d_compare so it may be called from lock-free RCU lookups. This
does put significant restrictions on what may be done from the callback,
however there don't seem to have been any problems with in-tree fses.
If some strange use case pops up that _really_ cannot cope with the
rcu-walk rules, we can just add new rcu-unaware callbacks, which would
cause name lookup to drop out of rcu-walk mode.

For in-tree filesystems, this is just a mechanical change.

fe15ce446b fs: change d_delete semantics
Change d_delete from a dentry deletion notification to a dentry caching
advise, more like ->drop_inode. Require it to be constant and idempotent,
and not take d_lock. This is how all existing filesystems use the callback
anyway.

This makes fine grained dentry locking of dput and dentry lru scanning
much simpler.

6072d13c42 Call the filesystem back whenever a page is removed from the page cache
NFS needs to be able to release objects that are stored in the page
cache once the page itself is no longer visible from the page cache.

This patch adds a callback to the address space operations that allows
filesystems to perform page cleanups once the page has been removed
from the page cache.

bfff68738f ext4: add support for lazy inode table initialization
When the lazy_itable_init extended option is passed to mke2fs, it
considerably speeds up filesystem creation because inode tables are
not zeroed out.  The fact that parts of the inode table are
uninitialized is not a problem so long as the block group descriptors,
which contain information regarding how much of the inode table has
been initialized, has not been corrupted However, if the block group
checksums are not valid, e2fsck must scan the entire inode table, and
the the old, uninitialized data could potentially cause e2fsck to
report false problems.

Hence, it is important for the inode tables to be initialized as soon
as possble.  This commit adds this feature so that mke2fs can safely
use the lazy inode table initialization feature to speed up formatting
file systems.

This is done via a new new kernel thread called ext4lazyinit, which is
created on demand and destroyed, when it is no longer needed.  There
is only one thread for all ext4 filesystems in the system. When the
first filesystem with inititable mount option is mounted, ext4lazyinit
thread is created, then the filesystem can register its request in the
request list.

This thread then walks through the list of requests picking up
scheduled requests and invoking ext4_init_inode_table(). Next schedule
time for the request is computed by multiplying the time it took to
zero out last inode table with wait multiplier, which can be set with
the (init_itable=n) mount option (default is 10).  We are doing
this so we do not take the whole I/O bandwidth. When the thread is no
longer necessary (request list is empty) it frees the appropriate
structures and exits (and can be created later later by another
filesystem).

We do not disturb regular inode allocations in any way, it just do not
care whether the inode table is, or is not zeroed. But when zeroing, we
have to skip used inodes, obviously. Also we should prevent new inode
allocations from the group, while zeroing is on the way. For that we
take write alloc_sem lock in ext4_init_inode_table() and read alloc_sem
in the ext4_claim_inode, so when we are unlucky and allocator hits the
group which is currently being zeroed, it just has to wait.

This can be suppresed using the mount option no_init_itable.

Export the number of anonymous pages in a mapping via smaps.

Even the private pages in a mapping backed by a file, would be marked as
anonymous, when they are modified. Export this information to user-space via
smaps.

Exporting this count will help gdb to make a better decision on which
areas need to be dumped in its coredump; and should be useful to others
studying the memory usage of a process.

6c2754c28f Revert "tty: Add a new file /proc/tty/consoles"
This reverts commit f4a3e0bceb.  Jiri
Sladby points out that the tty structure we're using may already be
gone, and Al Viro doesn't hold back in complaining about the random
loading of 'filp->private_data' which doesn't have to be a pointer at
all, nor does checking the magic field for TTY_MAGIC prove anything.

Belated review by Al:

 "a) global variable depending on stdin of the last opener? Affecting
     output of read(2)? Really?

  b) iterator is broken; list should be locked in ->start(), unlocked in
     ->stop() and *NOT* unlocked/relocked in ->next()

  c) ->show() ought to do nothing in case of ->device == NULL, instead
     of skipping those in ->next()/->start()

  d) regardless of the merits of the bright idea about asterisk at that
     line in output *and* regardless of (a), the implementation is not
     only atrociously ugly, it's actually very likely to be a roothole.
     Verifying that Cthulhu knows what number happens to be address of a
     tty_struct by blindly dereferencing memory at that address...
     Ouch.

  Please revert that crap."

And Christoph pipes in and NAK's the approach of walking fd tables etc
too.  So it's pretty unanimous.

7bdb0d18bf ocfs2: Add a mount option "coherency=*" to handle cluster coherency for O_DIRECT writes.
Currently, the default behavior of O_DIRECT writes was allowing
concurrent writing among nodes to the same file, with no cluster
coherency guaranteed (no EX lock held).  This can leave stale data in
the cache for buffered reads on other nodes.

The new mount option introduce a chance to choose two different
behaviors for O_DIRECT writes:

    * coherency=full, as the default value, will disallow
                      concurrent O_DIRECT writes by taking
                      EX locks.

    * coherency=buffered, allow concurrent O_DIRECT writes
                          without EX lock among nodes, which
                          gains high performance at risk of
                          getting stale data on other nodes.

955a857e06 NFS: new idmapper
This patch creates a new idmapper system that uses the request-key function to
place a call into userspace to map user and group ids to names.  The old
idmapper was single threaded, which prevented more than one request from running
at a single time.  This means that a user would have to wait for an upcall to
finish before accessing a cached result.

The upcall result is stored on a keyring of type id_resolver.  See the file
Documentation/filesystems/nfs/idmapper.txt for instructions.

51b1bd2ace oom: deprecate oom_adj tunable
/proc/pid/oom_adj is now deprecated so that that it may eventually be
removed.  The target date for removal is August 2012.

A warning will be printed to the kernel log if a task attempts to use this
interface.  Future warning will be suppressed until the kernel is rebooted
to prevent spamming the kernel log.

a63d83f427 oom: badness heuristic rewrite
This a complete rewrite of the oom killer's badness() heuristic which is
used to determine which task to kill in oom conditions.  The goal is to
make it as simple and predictable as possible so the results are better
understood and we end up killing the task which will lead to the most
memory freeing while still respecting the fine-tuning from userspace.

Instead of basing the heuristic on mm->total_vm for each task, the task's
rss and swap space is used instead.  This is a better indication of the
amount of memory that will be freeable if the oom killed task is chosen
and subsequently exits.  This helps specifically in cases where KDE or
GNOME is chosen for oom kill on desktop systems instead of a memory
hogging task.

The baseline for the heuristic is a proportion of memory that each task is
currently using in memory plus swap compared to the amount of "allowable"
memory.  "Allowable," in this sense, means the system-wide resources for
unconstrained oom conditions, the set of mempolicy nodes, the mems
attached to current's cpuset, or a memory controller's limit.  The
proportion is given on a scale of 0 (never kill) to 1000 (always kill),
roughly meaning that if a task has a badness() score of 500 that the task
consumes approximately 50% of allowable memory resident in RAM or in swap
space.

The proportion is always relative to the amount of "allowable" memory and
not the total amount of RAM systemwide so that mempolicies and cpusets may
operate in isolation; they shall not need to know the true size of the
machine on which they are running if they are bound to a specific set of
nodes or mems, respectively.

Root tasks are given 3% extra memory just like __vm_enough_memory()
provides in LSMs.  In the event of two tasks consuming similar amounts of
memory, it is generally better to save root's task.

Because of the change in the badness() heuristic's baseline, it is also
necessary to introduce a new user interface to tune it.  It's not possible
to redefine the meaning of /proc/pid/oom_adj with a new scale since the
ABI cannot be changed for backward compatability.  Instead, a new tunable,
/proc/pid/oom_score_adj, is added that ranges from -1000 to +1000.  It may
be used to polarize the heuristic such that certain tasks are never
considered for oom kill while others may always be considered.  The value
is added directly into the badness() score so a value of -500, for
example, means to discount 50% of its memory consumption in comparison to
other tasks either on the system, bound to the mempolicy, in the cpuset,
or sharing the same memory controller.

/proc/pid/oom_adj is changed so that its meaning is rescaled into the
units used by /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, and vice versa.  Changing one of
these per-task tunables will rescale the value of the other to an
equivalent meaning.  Although /proc/pid/oom_adj was originally defined as
a bitshift on the badness score, it now shares the same linear growth as
/proc/pid/oom_score_adj but with different granularity.  This is required
so the ABI is not broken with userspace applications and allows oom_adj to
be deprecated for future removal.

0ea6e61122 Documentation: update broken web addresses.
Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.
