The /proc/fs/ext4//mb_history was maintained manually, and had a
number of problems: it required a largish amount of memory to be
allocated for each ext4 filesystem, and the s_mb_history_lock
introduced a CPU contention problem.By ripping out the mb_history code and replacing it with ftrace
tracepoints, and we get more functionality: timestamps, event
filtering, the ability to correlate mballoc history with other ext4
tracepoints, etc.Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

A patch to give a better overview of the userland application stack usage,
especially for embedded linux.Currently you are only able to dump the main process/thread stack usage
which is showed in /proc/pid/status by the "VmStk" Value. But you get no
information about the consumed stack memory of the the threads.There is an enhancement in the /proc//{task/*,}/*maps and which marks
the vm mapping where the thread stack pointer reside with "[thread stack
xxxxxxxx]". xxxxxxxx is the maximum size of stack. This is a value
information, because libpthread doesn't set the start of the stack to the
top of the mapped area, depending of the pthread usage.A sample output of /proc//task//maps looks like:

The patch makes the clear_refs more versatile in adding the option to
select anonymous pages or file backed pages for clearing. This addition
has a measurable impact on user space application performance as it
decreases the number of pagewalks in scenarios where one is only
interested in a specific type of page (anonymous or file mapped).The patch adds anonymous and file backed filters to the clear_refs interface.

Truncating metadata pages is not safe right now before
we haven't audited all file systems.To enable truncation only for data address space define
a new address_space callback error_remove_page.This is used for memory_failure.c memory error handling.
This can be then set to truncate_inode_page()
This patch just defines the new operation and adds documentation.

The NFSv4 and NFSv4.1 protocols both allow for the redirection of a client
from one server to another in order to support filesystem migration and
replication. For full protocol support, we need to add the ability to
convert a DNS host name into an IP address that we can feed to the RPC
client.We'll reuse the sunrpc cache, now that it has been converted to work with
rpc_pipefs.Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust

The commit 2ff05b2b (oom: move oom_adj value) moveed the oom_adj value to
the mm_struct. It was a very good first step for sanitize OOM.However Paul Menage reported the commit makes regression to his job
scheduler. Current OOM logic can kill OOM_DISABLED process.Why? His program has the code of similar to the following.
...
set_oom_adj(OOM_DISABLE); /* The job scheduler never killed by oom */
...
if (vfork() == 0) {
set_oom_adj(0); /* Invoked child can be killed */
execve("foo-bar-cmd");
}
....vfork() parent and child are shared the same mm_struct. then above
set_oom_adj(0) doesn't only change oom_adj for vfork() child, it's also
change oom_adj for vfork() parent. Then, vfork() parent (job scheduler)
lost OOM immune and it was killed.Actually, fork-setting-exec idiom is very frequently used in userland program.
We must not break this assumption.Then, this patch revert commit 2ff05b2b and related commit.

Because, with "shortname=lower", copying one FAT filesystem tree to

So far, permissions set via 'mode' and/or 'dmode' mount options were
effective only if the medium had no rock ridge extensions (or was mounted

options should override permissions set in rock ridge extensions. Maybe
this should be default but the current behavior is there since mount
options were created so I think we should not change how they behave.Cc:
