functions that are only required on archs that need special exception

Fix memory corruption and crash on 32-bit x86 systems.
If a !PAE x86 kernel is booted on a 32-bit system with more than 4GB of
RAM, then we call memory_present() with a start/end that goes outside
the scope of MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS.That causes this loop to happily walk over the limit of the sparse
memory section map:for (pfn = start; pfn < end; pfn += PAGES_PER_SECTION) {
unsigned long section = pfn_to_section_nr(pfn);
struct mem_section *ms;sparse_index_init(section, nid);
set_section_nid(section, nid);ms = __nr_to_section(section);
if (!ms->section_mem_map)
ms->section_mem_map = sparse_encode_early_nid(nid) |
SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT;'ms' will be out of bounds and we'll corrupt a small amount of memory by
encoding the node ID and writing SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT (==0x1) over it.The corruption might happen when encoding a non-zero node ID, or due to
the SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT which is 0x1:mmzone.h:#define SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT (1UL<

The per node counters are used mainly for showing data through the sysfs API.
If that API is not compiled in then there is no point in keeping track of this
data. Disable counters for the number of slabs and the number of total slabs
if !SLUB_DEBUG. Incrementing the per node counters is also accessing a
potentially contended cacheline so this could actually be a performance
benefit to embedded systems.SLABINFO support is also affected. It now must depends on SLUB_DEBUG (which
is on by default).Patch also avoids a check for a NULL kmem_cache_node pointer in new_slab()
if the system is not compiled with NUMA support.[penberg@cs.helsinki.fi: fix oops and move ->nr_slabs into CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG]

count_partial() is used by both slabinfo and the sysfs proc support. Move
the function directly before the beginning of the sysfs code so that it can
be easily found. Rework the preprocessor conditional to take into account
that slub sysfs support depends on CONFIG_SYSFS *and* CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG.Make CONFIG_SLUB_STATS depend on CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG and CONFIG_SYSFS. There
is no point of keeping statistics if no one can restrive them.Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter

This should be N_NORMAL_MEMORY.
N_NORMAL_MEMORY is "true" if a node has memory for the kernel. N_HIGH_MEMORY
is "true" if a node has memory for HIGHMEM. (If CONFIG_HIGHMEM=n, always
"true")This check is used for testing whether we can use kmalloc_node() on a node.
Then, if there is a node which only contains HIGHMEM, the system will call
kmalloc_node() which doesn't contain memory for the kernel. If it happens
under SLUB, the kernel will panic. I think this only happens on x86_32-numa.Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki

A boot option for the memory controller was discussed on lkml. It is a good
idea to add it, since it saves memory for people who want to turn off the
memory controller.By default the option is on for the following two reasons:
1. It provides compatibility with the current scheme where the memory
controller turns on if the config option is enabled
2. It allows for wider testing of the memory controller, once the config
option is enabledWe still allow the create, destroy callbacks to succeed, since they are not
aware of boot options. We do not populate the directory will memory resource
controller specific files.Signed-off-by: Balbir Singh

return_unused_surplus_hugepages(). In the case where we have surplus
pages on some node, but no free pages on the same node, we may never
break out of the loop. To avoid this livelock, terminate the search if
we iterate a number of times equal to the number of online nodes without
freeing a page.Thanks to Andy Whitcroft and Adam Litke for helping with debugging and
the patch.Signed-off-by: Nishanth Aravamudan

Currently we show the surplus hugetlb pool state in /proc/meminfo, but
not in the per-node meminfo files, even though we track the information
on a per-node basis. Printing it there can help track down dynamic pool
bugs including the one in the follow-on patch.Signed-off-by: Nishanth Aravamudan

Commit 556a169dab38b5100df6f4a45b655dddd3db94c1 ("slab: fix bootstrap on
memoryless node") introduced bootstrap-time cache_cache list3s for all nodes
but forgot that initkmem_list3 needs to be accessed by [somevalue + node]. This
patch fixes list_add() corruption in mm/slab.c seen on the ES7000.Cc: Mel Gorman

Avoid warnings about unused functions if neither SLUB_DEBUG nor CONFIG_SLABINFO
is defined. This patch will be reversed when slab defrag is merged since slab
defrag requires count_partial() to determine the fragmentation status of
slab caches.Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter

Author: Rik van Riel
Date: Thu Feb 7 00:14:08 2008 -0800kswapd should only wait on IO if there is IO
The current kswapd (and try_to_free_pages) code has an oddity where the
code will wait on IO, even if there is no IO in flight. This problem is
notable especially when the system scans through many unfreeable pages,
causing unnecessary stalls in the VM.Additionally, tasks without __GFP_FS or __GFP_IO in the direct reclaim path
will sleep if a significant number of pages are encountered that should be
written out. This gives kswapd a chance to write out those pages, while
the direct reclaim task sleeps.Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel

With numa enabled, some callers could have a range of memory on one node
but try to free that on other node. This can cause some pages to be
freed wrongly.For example: when we try to allocate 128g boot ram early for
gart/swiotlb, and free that range later so gart/swiotlb can get some
range afterwards.With this patch, we don't need to care which node holds the range, just
loop to call free_bootmem_node for all online nodes.This patch makes free_bootmem_core() more robust by trimming the sidx
and eidx according the ram range that the node has.And make the free_bootmem_core handle this out of range case. We could
use bdata_list to make sure the range can be freed for sure. So next
time, we don't need to loop online nodes and could use free_bootmem
directly.Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu

Fix kernel-doc notation in mm/readahead.c.
Change ":" to ";" so that it doesn't get treated as a doc section heading.
Move the comment block ending "*/" to a line by itself so that the text on
that last line is not lost (dropped).Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap

The check t->pid == t->pid is not the blessed way to check whether a task is a
group leader.This is not about the code beautifulness only, but about pid namespaces fixes
- both the tgid and the pid fields on the task_struct are (slowly :( )
becoming deprecated.Besides, the thread_group_leader() macro makes only one dereference :)
