Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change affects group scheduling: we now track the runnable
average on a per-task entity basis, allowing a smoother, exponential
decay average based load/weight estimation instead of the previous
binary on-the-runqueue/off-the-runqueue load weight method.
This will inevitably disturb workloads that were in some sort of
borderline balancing state or unstable equilibrium, so an eye has to
be kept on regressions.
For that reason the new load average is only limited to group
scheduling (shares distribution) at the moment (which was also hurting
the most from the prior, crude weight calculation and whose scheduling
quality wins most from this change) - but we plan to extend this to
regular SMP balancing as well in the future, which will simplify and
speed up things a bit.
Other changes involve ongoing preparatory work to extend NOHZ to the
scheduler as well, eventually allowing completely irq-free user-space
execution."

Overhaul struct address_space.assoc_mapping renaming it to
address_space.private_data and its type is redefined to void*. By this
approach we consistently name the .private_* elements from struct
address_space as well as allow extended usage for address_space
association with other data structures through ->private_data.
Also, all users of old ->assoc_mapping element are converted to reflect
its new name and type change (->private_data).

Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce significantly
the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be used within a
guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated with the reduced
number of transparent huge pages that could be used by the guest workload.
This patch-set follows the main idea discussed at 2012 LSFMMS session:
"Ballooning for transparent huge pages" -- http://lwn.net/Articles/490114/
to introduce the required changes to the virtio_balloon driver, as well as
the changes to the core compaction & migration bits, in order to make
those subsystems aware of ballooned pages and allow memory balloon pages
become movable within a guest, thus avoiding the aforementioned
fragmentation issue
Following are numbers that prove this patch benefits on allowing
compaction to be more effective at memory ballooned guests.
Results for STRESS-HIGHALLOC benchmark, from Mel Gorman's mmtests suite,
running on a 4gB RAM KVM guest which was ballooning 512mB RAM in 64mB
chunks, at every minute (inflating/deflating), while test was running:

There was some desire in large applications using MAP_HUGETLB or
SHM_HUGETLB to use 1GB huge pages on some mappings, and stay with 2MB on
others. This is useful together with NUMA policy: use 2MB interleaving
on some mappings, but 1GB on local mappings.
This patch extends the IPC/SHM syscall interfaces slightly to allow
specifying the page size.
It borrows some upper bits in the existing flag arguments and allows
encoding the log of the desired page size in addition to the *_HUGETLB
flag. When 0 is specified the default size is used, this makes the
change fully compatible.
Extending the internal hugetlb code to handle this is straight forward.
Instead of a single mount it just keeps an array of them and selects the
right mount based on the specified page size. When no page size is
specified it uses the mount of the default page size.
The change is not visible in /proc/mounts because internal mounts don't
appear there. It also has very little overhead: the additional mounts
just consume a super block, but not more memory when not used.
I also exported the new flags to the user headers (they were previously
under __KERNEL__). Right now only symbols for x86 and some other
architecture for 1GB and 2MB are defined. The interface should already
work for all other architectures though. Only architectures that define
multiple hugetlb sizes actually need it (that is currently x86, tile,
powerpc). However tile and powerpc have user configurable hugetlb
sizes, so it's not easy to add defines. A program on those
architectures would need to query sysfs and use the appropiate log2.

3.8-rc1 is out, do the rest of the removals to ensure we catch them all,
it's up to you. The merges should all be trivial, and Stephen has been
doing them all in linux-next for a few weeks now quite easily.
Other than the __dev* marking removals, there's nothing major here, some

The direct-IO write path already had the i_size checks in mm/filemap.c,
but it turns out the read path did not, and removing the block size
checks in fs/block_dev.c (commit bbec0270bd: "blkdev_max_block: make
private to fs/buffer.c") removed the magic "shrink IO to past the end of
the device" code there.
Fix it by truncating the IO to the size of the block device, like the
write path already does.
NOTE! I suspect the write path would be *much* better off doing it this
way in fs/block_dev.c, rather than hidden deep in mm/filemap.c. The
mm/filemap.c code is extremely hard to follow, and has various
conditionals on the target being a block device (ie the flag passed in
to 'generic_write_checks()', along with a conditional update of the
inode timestamp etc).
It is also quite possible that we should treat this whole block device
size as a "s_maxbytes" issue, and try to make the logic even more
generic. However, in the meantime this is the fairly minimal targeted
fix.

The block device access simplification that avoided accessing the (racy)
block size information (commit bbec0270bd: "blkdev_max_block: make
private to fs/buffer.c") no longer checks the maximum block size in the
block mapping path.
That was _almost_ as simple as just removing the code entirely, because
the readers and writers all check the size of the device anyway, so
under normal circumstances it "just worked".
However, the block size may be such that the end of the device may
straddle one single buffer_head. At which point we may still want to
access the end of the device, but the buffer we use to access it
partially extends past the end.
The 'bd_set_size()' function intentionally sets the block size to avoid
this, but mounting the device - or setting the block size by hand to
some other value - can modify that block size.
So instead, teach 'submit_bh()' about the special case of the buffer
head straddling the end of the device, and turning such an access into a
smaller IO access, avoiding the problem.
This, btw, also means that unlike before, we can now access the whole
device regardless of device block size setting. So now, even if the
device size is only 512-byte aligned, we can read and write even the
last sector even when having a much bigger block size for accessing the
rest of the device.
So with this, we could now get rid of the 'bd_set_size()' block size
code entirely - resulting in faster IO for the common case - but that
would be a separate patch.

Merge 'block-dev' branch.
I was going to just mark everything here for stable and leave it to the
3.8 merge window, but having decided on doing another -rc, I migth as
well merge it now.
This removes the bd_block_size_semaphore semaphore that was added in
this release to fix a race condition between block size changes and
block IO, and replaces it with atomicity guaratees in fs/buffer.c
instead, along with simplifying fs/block-dev.c.
This removes more lines than it adds, makes the code generally simpler,
and avoids the latency/rt issues that the block size semaphore
introduced for mount.
I'm not happy with the timing, but it wouldn't be much better doing this
during the merge window and then having some delayed back-port of it
into stable.

blkdev_max_block: make private to fs/buffer.c

We really don't want to look at the block size for the raw block device
accesses in fs/block-dev.c, because it may be changing from under us.
So get rid of the max_block logic entirely, since the caller should
already have done it anyway.
That leaves the only user of this function in fs/buffer.c, so move the
whole function there and make it static.

Since directio can work on a raw block device, and the block size of the
device can change under it, we need to do the same thing that
fs/buffer.c now does: read the block size a single time, using
ACCESS_ONCE().
Reading it multiple times can get different results, which will then
confuse the code because it actually encodes the i_blksize in
relationship to the underlying logical blocksize.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
This reverts the block-device direct access code to the previous
unlocked code, now that fs/buffer.c no longer needs external locking.
With this, fs/block_dev.c is back to the original version, apart from a
whitespace cleanup that I didn't want to revert.

This makes the buffer size handling be a per-page thing, which allows us
to not have to worry about locking too much when changing the buffer
size. If a page doesn't have buffers, we still need to read the block
size from the inode, but we can do that with ACCESS_ONCE(), so that even
if the size is changing, we get a consistent value.
This doesn't convert all functions - many of the buffer functions are
used purely by filesystems, which in turn results in the buffer size
being fixed at mount-time. So they don't have the same consistency
issues that the raw device access can have.

We have thread_group_cputime() and thread_group_times(). The naming
doesn't provide enough information about the difference between
these two APIs.
To lower the confusion, rename thread_group_times() to
thread_group_cputime_adjusted(). This name better suggests that
it's a version of thread_group_cputime() that does some stabilization
on the raw cputime values. ie here: scale on top of CFS runtime
stats and bound lower value for monotonicity.

Commit 6bdf6dbd66 caused a regression

Commit eddb079deb created a regression in the writepages codepath.
Previously, whenever it needed to check the size of the file, it did so
by consulting the inode->i_size field directly. With that patch, the
i_size was fetched once on entry into the writepages code and that value
was used henceforth.
If the file is changing size though (for instance, if someone is writing
to it or has truncated it), then that value is likely to be wrong. This
can lead to data corruption. Pages past the EOF at the time that the
writepages call was issued may be silently dropped and ignored because
cifs_writepages wrongly assumes that the file must have been truncated
in the interim.
Fix cifs_writepages to properly fetch the size from the inode->i_size
field instead to properly account for this possibility.

jbd: Fix lock ordering bug in journal_unmap_buffer()
Commit 169ebd9013 ("writeback: Avoid iput() from flusher thread")
removed iget-iput pair from inode writeback. As a side effect, inodes
that are dirty during iput_final() call won't be ever added to inode LRU
(iput_final() doesn't add dirty inodes to LRU and later when the inode
is cleaned there's noone to add the inode there). Thus inodes are
effectively unreclaimable until someone looks them up again.
The practical effect of this bug is limited by the fact that inodes are
pinned by a dentry for long enough that the inode gets cleaned. But
still the bug can have nasty consequences leading up to OOM conditions
under certain circumstances. Following can easily reproduce the
problem:
for (( i = 0; i < 1000; i++ )); do
mkdir $i
for (( j = 0; j < 1000; j++ )); do
touch $i/$j
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
done
done
then one needs to run 'sync; ls -lR' to make inodes reclaimable again.
We fix the issue by inserting unused clean inodes into the LRU after
writeback finishes in inode_sync_complete().

Commit 7b540d0646 ("proc_map_files_readdir(): don't bother with
grabbing files") switched proc_map_files_readdir() to use @f_mode
directly instead of grabbing @file reference, but same time the test for
@vm_file presence was lost leading to nil dereference. The patch brings
the test back.
The all proc_map_files feature is CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE wrapped
(which is set to 'n' by default) so the bug doesn't affect regular
kernels.
The regression is 3.7-rc1 only as far as I can tell.

[Issue]
Currently, a variable name, which identifies each entry, consists of type, id and ctime.
But if multiple events happens in a short time, a second/third event may fail to log because
efi_pstore can't distinguish each event with current variable name.
[Solution]
A reasonable way to identify all events precisely is introducing a sequence counter to
the variable name.
The sequence counter has already supported in a pstore layer with "oopscount".
So, this patch adds it to a variable name.
Also, it is passed to read/erase callbacks of platform drivers in accordance with
the modification of the variable name.
<before applying this patch>
a variable name of first event: dump-type0-1-12345678
a variable name of second event: dump-type0-1-12345678
type:0
id:1
ctime:12345678
If multiple events happen in a short time, efi_pstore can't distinguish them because
variable names are same among them.
<after applying this patch>
it can be distinguishable by adding a sequence counter as follows.
a variable name of first event: dump-type0-1-1-12345678
a variable name of Second event: dump-type0-1-2-12345678
type:0
id:1
sequence counter: 1(first event), 2(second event)
ctime:12345678
In case of a write callback executed in pstore_console_write(), "0" is added to
an argument of the write callback because it just logs all kernel messages and
doesn't need to care about multiple events.

[Issue]
Currently, a variable name, which is used to identify each log entry, consists of type,
id and ctime. But an erase callback does not use ctime.
If efi_pstore supported just one log, type and id were enough.
However, in case of supporting multiple logs, it doesn't work because
it can't distinguish each entry without ctime at erasing time.
<Example>
As you can see below, efi_pstore can't differentiate first event from second one without ctime.
a variable name of first event: dump-type0-1-12345678
a variable name of second event: dump-type0-1-23456789
type:0
id:1
ctime:12345678, 23456789
[Solution]
This patch adds ctime to an argument of an erase callback.
It works across reboots because ctime of pstore means the date that the record was originally stored.
To do this, efi_pstore saves the ctime to variable name at writing time and passes it to pstore
at reading time.

NAND chip detection, introduced by some rework which went into 3.7. The
initial fix wasn't quite complete, so it's in two parts. In fact the
first part is committed twice (Artem committed his own copy of the same
patch) and I've merged Artem's tree into mine which already had that fix.
I'd have recommitted that to make it somewhat cleaner, but figured by
this point in the release cycle it was better to merge *exactly* the
commits which have been in linux-next.
If I'd recommitted, I'd also omit the sparse warning fix. But it's there,
and it's harmless — just marking one function as 'static' in onenand code.
This also includes a couple more fixes for stable: an AB-BA deadlock in
JFFS2, and an invalid range check in slram.

Commit 09e05d48 introduced a wait for transaction commit into
journal_unmap_buffer() in the case we are truncating a buffer undergoing commit
in the page stradding i_size on a filesystem with blocksize < pagesize. Sadly
we forgot to drop buffer lock before waiting for transaction commit and thus
deadlock is possible when kjournald wants to lock the buffer.
Fix the problem by dropping the buffer lock before waiting for transaction
commit. Since we are still holding page lock (and that is OK), buffer cannot
disappear under us.
