The original vm_stat_account has fallen into disuse, with only one user, and
only one user of vm_stat_unaccount. It's easier to keep track if we convert
them all to __vm_stat_account, then free it from its __shackles.Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins

do_anonymous_page's pte_wrprotect causes some confusion: in such a case,
vm_page_prot must already be forcing COW, so must omit write permission, and
so the pte_wrprotect is redundant. Replace it by a comment to that effect,
and reword the comment on unuse_pte which also caused confusion.Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins

zap_pte_range already avoids wasting time to mark_page_accessed on anon pages:
it can also skip anon set_page_dirty - the page only needs to be marked dirty
if shared with another mm, but that will say pte_dirty too.Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins

My latency breaking in copy_pte_range didn't work as intended: instead of
checking at regularish intervals, after the first interval it checked every
time around the loop, too impatient to be preempted. Fix that.Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins

Martin Hicks' page cache reclaim patch added the 'may_swap' flag to the
scan_control struct; and modified shrink_list() not to add anon pages to
the swap cache if may_swap is not asserted.Ref: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=111461480725322&w=4
However, further down, if the page is mapped, shrink_list() calls
try_to_unmap() which will call try_to_unmap_one() via try_to_unmap_anon ().
try_to_unmap_one() will BUG_ON() an anon page that is NOT in the swap
cache. Martin says he never encountered this path in his testing, but
agrees that it might happen.This patch modifies shrink_list() to skip anon pages that are not already
in the swap cache when !may_swap, rather than just not adding them to the
cache.Signed-off-by: Lee Schermerhorn

The NUMA policy code predated nodemask_t so it used open coded bitmaps.
Convert everything to nodemask_t. Big patch, but shouldn't have any actual
behaviour changes (except I removed one unnecessary check against
node_online_map and one unnecessary BUG_ON)Signed-off-by: "Andi Kleen"

Set the low water mark for hot pages in pcp to zero.
(akpm: for the life of me I cannot remember why we created pcp->low. Neither
can Martin and the changelog is silent. Maybe it was just a brainfart, but I
have this feeling that there was a reason. If not, we should remove the
fields completely. We'll see.)Signed-off-by: Rohit Seth

Increase the page allocator's per-cpu magazines from 1/4MB to 1/2MB.
Over 100+ runs for a workload, the difference in mean is about 2%. The best
results for both are almost same. Though the max variation in results with
1/2MB is only 2.2%, whereas with 1/4MB it is 12%.Signed-off-by: Rohit Seth

It turns out that the original swap token implementation, by Song Jiang, only
enforced the swap token while the task holding the token is handling a page
fault. This patch approximates that, without adding an additional flag to the
mm_struct, by checking whether the mm->mmap_sem is held for reading, like the
page fault code does.This patch has the effect of automatically, and gradually, disabling the
enforcement of the swap token when there is little or no paging going on, and
"turning up" the intensity of the swap token code the more the task holding
the token is thrashing.Thanks to Song Jiang for pointing out this aspect of the token based thrashing
control concept.The new code shows a slight degradation over the old swap token code, but
still a big win over running without the swap token.2.6.12+ swap token disabled

Patch from Nicolas Pitre
Since vmlinux.lds.S is preprocessed, we can use the defines already
present in asm/memory.h (allowed by patch #3060) for the XIP kernel link
address instead of relying on a duplicated Makefile hardcoded value, and
also get rid of its dependency on awk to handle it at the same time.While at it let's clean XIP stuff even further and make things clearer
in head.S with a nice code reduction.Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre

This patch allows for assorted type of cleanups by letting assembly code
use the same set of defines for constant values and avoid duplicated
definitions that might not always be in sync, or that might simply be
confusing due to the different names for the same thing.Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre

CFE 1.2.5 and earlier fails to turn on the ExpMemEn bit in the
PCIFeatureControl register, which means that DMA does not work
beyond physical address 01_0000_0000, ergo to DRAM beyond 1GB.With ExpMemEn turned on, 01_0000_0000-0f_ffff_ffff is mapped,
so DMA works for up to 61 GB of DRAM.Will be fixed in CFE 1.2.6 (yet to be released).
