The checks for node_online in the uncached allocator are made to make sure
that memory is available on these nodes. Thus switch all the checks to use
N_HIGH_MEMORY and to N_ONLINE.Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter

Simply switch all for_each_online_node to for_each_node_state(NORMAL_MEMORY).
That way SLUB only operates on nodes with regular memory. Any allocation
attempt on a memoryless node or a node with just highmem will fall whereupon
SLUB will fetch memory from a nearby node (depending on how memory policies
and cpuset describe fallback).Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter

Slab should not allocate control structures for nodes without memory. This
may seem to work right now but its unreliable since not all allocations can
fall back due to the use of GFP_THISNODE.Switching a few for_each_online_node's to N_NORMAL_MEMORY will allow us to
only allocate for nodes that have regular memory.Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter

constrained_alloc() builds its own memory map for nodes with memory. We have

MPOL_INTERLEAVE currently simply loops over all nodes. Allocations on
memoryless nodes will be redirected to nodes with memory. This results in an
imbalance because the neighboring nodes to memoryless nodes will get
significantly more interleave hits that the rest of the nodes on the system.We can avoid this imbalance by clearing the nodes in the interleave node set
that have no memory. If we use the node map of the memory nodes instead of
the online nodes then we have only the nodes we want.Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter

It is necessary to know if nodes have memory since we have recently begun to
add support for memoryless nodes. For that purpose we introduce a two new
node states: N_HIGH_MEMORY and N_NORMAL_MEMORY.A node has its bit in N_HIGH_MEMORY set if it has any memory regardless of the
type of mmemory. If a node has memory then it has at least one zone defined
in its pgdat structure that is located in the pgdat itself.A node has its bit in N_NORMAL_MEMORY set if it has a lower zone than
ZONE_HIGHMEM. This means it is possible to allocate memory that is not
subject to kmap.N_HIGH_MEMORY and N_NORMAL_MEMORY can then be used in various places to insure
that we do the right thing when we encounter a memoryless node.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix]

Why do we need to support memoryless nodes?

Preparation for memoryless node patches.
Provide a generic way to keep nodemasks describing various characteristics of
NUMA nodes.Remove the node_online_map and the node_possible map and realize the same
functionality using two nodes stats: N_POSSIBLE and N_ONLINE.[Lee.Schermerhorn@hp.com: Initialize N_*_MEMORY and N_CPU masks for non-NUMA config]

Implement nobh in new aops. This is a bit tricky. FWIW, nobh_truncate is
now implemented in a way that does not create blocks in sparse regions,
which is a silly thing for it to have been doing (isn't it?)ext2 survives fsx and fsstress. jfs is converted as well... ext3
should be easy to do (but not done yet).[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]

Convert udf to new aops. Also seem to have fixed pagecache corruption in
udf_adinicb_commit_write -- page was marked uptodate when it is not. Also,
fixed the silly setup where prepare_write was doing a kmap to be used in
commit_write: just do kmap_atomic in write_end. Use libfs helpers to make
this easier.Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin

Rework the generic block "cont" routines to handle the new aops. Supporting
cont_prepare_write would take quite a lot of code to support, so remove it
instead (and we later convert all filesystems to use it).write_begin gets passed AOP_FLAG_CONT_EXPAND when called from
generic_cont_expand, so filesystems can avoid the old hacks they used.Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin
