This does the following:
1: Splits the arguments of a function call to stop it
from exceeding 80 characters
2: Re-indents the arguments of another function call
to prevent the splitting of a quoted string.
Maintain an index of directory inodes by starting cluster, so that
fat_get_parent() can return the proper cached inode rather than inventing
one that cannot be traced back to the filesystem root.
Add a new msdos/vfat binary mount option "nfs" so that FAT filesystems
that are _not_ exported via NFS are not saddled with maintenance of an
index they will never use.
Finally, simplify NFS file handle generation and lookups. An
ext2-congruent implementation is adequate for FAT needs.

Under memory pressure, the system may evict dentries from cache. When the
FAT driver receives a NFS request involving an evicted dentry, it is
unable to reconnect it to the filesystem root. This causes the request to
fail, often with ENOENT.
This is partially due to ineffectiveness of the current FAT NFS
implementation, and partially due to an unimplemented fh_to_parent method.
The latter can cause file accesses to fail on shares exported with
subtree_check.
This patch set provides the FAT driver with the ability to
reconnect dentries. NFS file handle generation and lookups are simplified
and made congruent with ext2.
Testing has involved a memory-starved virtual machine running 3.5-rc5 that
exports a ~2 GB vfat filesystem containing a kernel tree (~770 MB, ~40000
files, 9 levels). Both 'cp -r' and 'ls -lR' operations were performed
from a client, some overlapping, some consecutive. Exports with
'subtree_check' and 'no_subtree_check' have been tested.
Note that while this patch set improves FAT's NFS support, it does not
eliminate ESTALE errors completely.
The following should be considered for NFS clients who are sensitive to ESTALE:
* Mounting with lookupcache=none
Unfortunately this can degrade performance severely, particularly for deep
filesystems.
* Incorporating VFS patches to retry ESTALE failures on the client-side,
such as https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/29/381
* Handling ESTALE errors in client application code
This patch:
Move NFS-related code into its own C file. No functional changes.

There are several comparisons of a unsigned int to less than zero int
spear RTC driver. Such a check will always be true. In all these cases a
signed int is assigned to the unsigned variable, which is checked, before.
So the right fix is to make the checked variable signed as well. In one
case the check can be dropped completely, because all it does it returns
'err' if 'err' is less than zero, otherwise it returns 0. Since in this
particular case 'err' is always either 0 or less this is the same as just
returning 'err'.

To preserve existing behaviour it also moved a fatal_signal_pending()

"hides" the check within a locking function but has nothing to do with

isolate_migratepages_range will take zone->lru_lock first and check if the

increase the lock contention. We'd better check if the lock is contended

swap: add a simple detector for inappropriate swapin readahead
The swapin readahead does a blind readahead whether or not the swapin is
sequential. This is ok for harddisk because large reads have relatively
small costs and if the readahead pages are unneeded they can be reclaimed
easily. But for SSD devices large reads are more expensive than small
one. If readahead pages are unneeded, reading them in caused significant
overhead
This patch addes a simple random read detection similar to file mmap
readahead. If a random read is detected, swapin readahead will be
skipped. This improves a lot for a swap workload with random IO in a fast
SSD.
I run anonymous mmap write micro benchmark, which will triger swapin/swapout.
For both harddisk and SSD, the randwrite swap workload run time is reduced
significantly. Sequential write swap workload hasn't chanage.
Interestingly, the randwrite harddisk test is improved too. This might be
because swapin readahead needs to allocate extra memory, which further
tights memory pressure, so more swapout/swapin.

memory-hotplug: fix pages missed by race rather than failing
If race between allocation and isolation in memory-hotplug offline
happens, some pages could be in MIGRATE_MOVABLE of free_list although the
pageblock's migratetype of the page is MIGRATE_ISOLATE.
The race could be detected by get_freepage_migratetype in
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock. If it is detected, now EBUSY gets
bubbled all the way up and the hotplug operations fails.
But better idea is instead of returning and failing memory-hotremove, move
the free page to the correct list at the time it is detected. It could
enhance memory-hotremove operation success ratio although the race is
really rare.
free_hot_cold_page(Page A)
/* without zone->lock */
migratetype = get_pageblock_migratetype(Page A);
/*
* Page could be moved into MIGRATE_MOVABLE
* of per_cpu_pages
*/

/* Page A could be in MIGRATE_MOVABLE of free_list. */

* We can't catch freed page which

This patch checks page's migratetype in freelist in
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock. So now
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock can check the page caused by above race
and can fail of memory offlining.

This patch drops the invalidate_page call from change_pte, and instead

invalidate_range_end calls.
Note that change_pte still cannot sleep after this patch, and that clients

outstanding invalidate_range_start calls is larger than one, otherwise
they might miss a later invalidation.

mm: move all mmu notifier invocations to be done outside the PT lock
In order to allow sleeping during mmu notifier calls, we need to avoid
invoking them under the page table spinlock. This patch solves the
problem by calling invalidate_page notification after releasing the lock
(but before freeing the page itself), or by wrapping the page invalidation
with calls to invalidate_range_begin and invalidate_range_end.
To prevent accidental changes to the invalidate_range_end arguments after
the call to invalidate_range_begin, the patch introduces a convention of
saving the arguments in consistently named locals:
unsigned long mmun_start; /* For mmu_notifiers */
unsigned long mmun_end; /* For mmu_notifiers */
The patch changes code to use this convention for all calls to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end, except those where the calls are
close enough so that anyone who glances at the code can see the values
aren't changing.
This patchset is a preliminary step towards on-demand paging design to be
added to the RDMA stack.
Why do we want on-demand paging for Infiniband?
Applications register memory with an RDMA adapter using system calls,
and subsequently post IO operations that refer to the corresponding
virtual addresses directly to HW. Until now, this was achieved by
pinning the memory during the registration calls. The goal of on demand
paging is to avoid pinning the pages of registered memory regions (MRs).
This will allow users the same flexibility they get when swapping any
other part of their processes address spaces. Instead of requiring the
entire MR to fit in physical memory, we can allow the MR to be larger,
and only fit the current working set in physical memory.
Why should anyone care? What problems are users currently experiencing?
This can make programming with RDMA much simpler. Today, developers
that are working with more data than their RAM can hold need either to
deregister and reregister memory regions throughout their process's
life, or keep a single memory region and copy the data to it. On demand
paging will allow these developers to register a single MR at the
beginning of their process's life, and let the operating system manage
which pages needs to be fetched at a given time. In the future, we
might be able to provide a single memory access key for each process
that would provide the entire process's address as one large memory
region, and the developers wouldn't need to register memory regions at
all.
Is there any prospect that any other subsystems will utilise these
infrastructural changes? If so, which and how, etc?
As for other subsystems, I understand that XPMEM wanted to sleep in
MMU notifiers, as Christoph Lameter wrote at
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0802.1/0460.html and
perhaps Andrea knows about other use cases.
Scheduling in mmu notifications is required since we need to sync the
hardware with the secondary page tables change. A TLB flush of an IO
device is inherently slower than a CPU TLB flush, so our design works by
sending the invalidation request to the device, and waiting for an
interrupt before exiting the mmu notifier handler.
Avi said:
kvm may be a buyer. kvm::mmu_lock, which serializes guest page
faults, also protects long operations such as destroying large ranges.
It would be good to convert it into a spinlock, but as it is used inside
mmu notifiers, this cannot be done.
(there are alternatives, such as keeping the spinlock and using a
generation counter to do the teardown in O(1), which is what the "may"
is doing up there).
