A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:| effect | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAPThis patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct. Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci.c fixup]

The following build error occured during a ia64 build with
swap-over-NFS patches applied.net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: initializer element is not constant
net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: (near initialization for 'memalloc_socks')
net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: initializer element is not constantThis is identical to a parisc build error. Fengguang Wu, Mel Gorman
and James Bottomley did all the legwork to track the root cause of
the problem. This fix and entire commit log is shamelessly copied
from them with one extra detail to change a dubious runtime use of
ATOMIC_INIT() to atomic_set() in drivers/char/mspec.cDave Anglin says:
> Here is the line in sock.i:
>
> struct static_key memalloc_socks = ((struct static_key) { .enabled =
> ((atomic_t) { (0) }) });The above line contains two compound literals. It also uses a designated
initializer to initialize the field enabled. A compound literal is not a
constant expression.The location of the above statement isn't fully clear, but if a compound
literal occurs outside the body of a function, the initializer list must
consist of constant expressions.Cc:

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.===== begin semantic patch =====
// This adds an llseek= method to all file operations,
// as a preparation for making no_llseek the default.
//
// The rules are
// - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open
// - use seq_lseek for sequential files
// - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos
// - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos,
// but we still want to allow users to call lseek

The shrinking of a virtual memory area that is mmap(2)'d to a memory
special file (device drivers/char/mspec.c) can cause a panic.If the mapped size of the vma (vm_area_struct) is very large, mspec allocates
a large vma_data structure with vmalloc(). But such a vma can be shrunk by
an munmap(2). The current driver uses the current size of each vma to
deduce whether its vma_data structure was allocated by kmalloc() or vmalloc().
So if the vma was shrunk it appears to have been allocated by kmalloc(),
and mspec attempts to free it with kfree(). This results in a panic.This patch avoids the panic (by preserving the type of the allocation) and
also makes mspec work correctly as the vma is split into pieces by the
munmap(2)'s.All vma's derived from such a split vma share the same vma_data structure that
represents all the pages mapped into this set of vma's. The mpec driver
must be made capable of using the right portion of the structure for each
member vma. In other words, it must index into the array of page addresses
using the portion of the array that represents the current vma. This is
enabled by storing the vma group's vm_start in the vma_data structure.The shared vma_data's are not protected by mm->mmap_sem in the fork() case
so the reference count is left as atomic_t.Signed-off-by: Cliff Wickman

rebuilt down to 3444 (-12.3%).Cross-compile tested without regressions on my two usual configs and (sigh):
