autofs4: translate pids to the right namespace for the daemon
The PID and the TGID of the process triggering the mount are sent to the
daemon. Currently the global pid values are sent (ones valid in the
initial pid namespace) but this is wrong if the autofs daemon itself is
not running in the initial pid namespace.
So send the pid values that are valid in the namespace of the autofs daemon.
The namespace to use is taken from the oz_pgrp pid pointer, which was set
at mount time to the mounting process' pid namespace.
If the pid translation fails (the triggering process is in an unrelated
pid namespace) then the automount fails with ENOENT.

autofs4: allow autofs to work outside the initial PID namespace
Enable autofs4 to work in a "container". oz_pgrp is converted from pid_t
to struct pid and this is stored at mount time based on the "pgrp=" option
or if the option is missing then the current pgrp.
The "pgrp=" option is interpreted in the PID namespace of the current
process. This option is flawed in that it doesn't carry the namespace
information, so it should be deprecated. AFAICS the autofs daemon always
sends the current pgrp, which is the default anyway.
The oz_pgrp is also set from the AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_SETPIPEFD_CMD ioctl.
This ioctl sets oz_pgrp to the current pgrp. It is not allowed to change
the pid namespace.
oz_pgrp is used mainly to determine whether the process traversing the
autofs mount tree is the autofs daemon itself or not. This function now
compares the pid pointers instead of the pid_t values.
One other use of oz_pgrp is in autofs4_show_options. There is shows the
virtual pid number (i.e. the one that is valid inside the PID namespace
of the calling process)
For debugging printk convert oz_pgrp to the value in the initial pid
namespace.

smp: Give WARN()ing when calling smp_call_function_many()/single() in serving irq
Currently the functions smp_call_function_many()/single() will give a
WARN()ing only in the case of irqs_disabled(), but that check is not
enough to guarantee execution of the SMP cross-calls.
In many other cases such as softirq handling/interrupt handling, the two
APIs still can not be called, just as the smp_call_function_many()
comments say:
* You must not call this function with disabled interrupts or from a
* hardware interrupt handler or from a bottom half handler. Preemption
* must be disabled when calling this function.
There is a real case for softirq DEADLOCK case:
CPUA CPUB
spin_lock(&spinlock)
Any irq coming, call the irq handler
irq_exit()
spin_lock_irq(&spinlock)
<== Blocking here due to
CPUB hold it
__do_softirq()
run_timer_softirq()
timer_cb()
call smp_call_function_many()
send IPI interrupt to CPUA
wait_csd()
Then both CPUA and CPUB will be deadlocked here.
So we should give a warning in the nmi, hardirq or softirq context as well.
Moreover, adding one new macro in_serving_irq() which indicates we are
processing nmi, hardirq or sofirq.

mm/dmapool.c: fix null dev in dma_pool_create()
A few drivers invoke dma_pool_create() with a null dev. Note that dev is
dereferenced in dev_to_node(dev), causing a null pointer dereference.
A long term solution is to disallow null dev. Once the drivers are fixed,
we can simplify the core code here. For now we add WARN_ON(!dev) to
notify the driver maintainers and avoid the null pointer dereference.

Calling dma_pool_create() with dev==NULL will oops on a NUMA machine.
Rather than changing dma_pool_create() we wish to disallow passing
dev==NULL. This requires fixing up the small number of drivers which are
passing in dev==NULL.
Use &dev->pdev->dev instead of NULL.

drop_caches: add some documentation and info message
I would like to resurrect Dave's patch. The last time it was posted was
here https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/16/250 and there didn't seem to be any
strong opposition.
Kosaki was worried about possible excessive logging when somebody drops
caches too often (but then he claimed he didn't have a strong opinion on
that) but I would say opposite. If somebody does that then I would really
like to know that from the log when supporting a system because it almost
for sure means that there is something fishy going on. It is also worth
mentioning that only root can write drop caches so this is not an flooding
attack vector.
I am bringing that up again because this can be really helpful when
chasing strange performance issues which (surprise surprise) turn out to
be related to artificially dropped caches done because the admin thinks
this would help...
I have just refreshed the original patch on top of the current mm tree
but I could live with KERN_INFO as well if people think that KERN_NOTICE
is too hysterical.

mm: memmap_init_zone() performance improvement
We have what we call an "architectural simulator". It is a computer
program that pretends that it is a computer system. We use it to test the
firmware before real hardware is available. We have booted Linux on our
simulator. As you would expect it takes longer to boot on the simulator
than it does on real hardware.
With my patch - boot time 41 minutes
Without patch - boot time 94 minutes
These numbers do not scale linearly to real hardware. But indicate to me
a place where Linux can be improved.
memmap_init_zone() loops through every Page Frame Number (pfn), including
pfn values that are within the gaps between existing memory sections. The
unneeded looping will become a boot performance issue when machines
configure larger memory ranges that will contain larger and more numerous
gaps.
The code will skip across invalid pfn values to reduce the number of loops
executed.

list_lru: dynamically adjust node arrays
We currently use a compile-time constant to size the node array for the
list_lru structure. Due to this, we don't need to allocate any memory at
initialization time. But as a consequence, the structures that contain
embedded list_lru lists can become way too big (the superblock for
instance contains two of them).
This patch aims at ameliorating this situation by dynamically allocating
the node arrays with the firmware provided nr_node_ids.

i915: bail out earlier when shrinker cannot acquire mutex
The main shrinker driver will keep trying for a while to free objects if
the returned value from the shrink scan procedure is 0. That means "no
objects now", but a retry could very well succeed.
But what we should say here is a different thing: that it is impossible to
shrink, and we would better bail out soon. We find this behavior more
appropriate for the case where the lock cannot be taken. Specially given
the hammer behavior of the i915: if another thread is already shrinking,
we are likely not to be able to shrink anything anyway when we finally
acquire the mutex.
