ufs: Fix mount check in ufs_fill_super()
The current code skips the check to verify whether the filesystem was
previously cleanly unmounted, if (flags & UFS_ST_MASK) == UFS_ST_44BSD or
UFS_ST_OLD. This looks like an inadvertent bug that slipped in due to
parantheses in the compound conditional to me, especially given that
ufs_get_fs_state() handles the UFS_ST_44BSD case perfectly well. So, let's
fix the compound condition appropriately.

handle the multi-threaded init's exit() properly
With or without this patch, multi-threaded init's are not fully supported,
but do_exit() is completely wrong. This becomes a real problem when we
support pid namespaces.
1. do_exit() panics when the main thread of /sbin/init exits. It should not
until the whole thread group exits. Move the code below, under the
"if (group_dead)" check.
Note: this means that forget_original_parent() can use an already dead
child_reaper()'s task_struct. This is OK for /sbin/init because
- do_wait() from alive sub-thread still can reap a zombie, we iterate
over all sub-thread's ->children lists
- do_notify_parent() will wakeup some alive sub-thread because it sends
the group-wide signal
However, we should remove choose_new_parent()->BUG_ON(reaper->exit_state)
for this.
2. We are playing games with ->nsproxy->pid_ns. This code is bogus today, and
it has to be changed anyway when we really support pid namespaces, just
remove it.

Deprecate a.out ELF interpreters
The Linux ELF loader is quite complicated and messy code (that could
probably need a rewrite, but that's a different chapter). One particular
messy part in it is the support for non ELF a.out ld.sos. This was
originally added to make transition from a.out to ELF easier because an
a.out ELF ld.so could be still build using an older a.out toolkit. But by
now that should be fully obsolete and removing it would clean up
binfmt_elf.c up a bit.
I propose to deprecate this support and remove for 2.6.25.
Drawback is that someone still runs their system with a.out ld.so
they would need to update the ld.so when updating to a new kernel.

core_pattern: ignore RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe
For some time /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern has been able to set its output
destination as a pipe, allowing a user space helper to receive and
intellegently process a core. This infrastructure however has some
shortcommings which can be enhanced. Specifically:
1) The coredump code in the kernel should ignore RLIMIT_CORE limitation
when core_pattern is a pipe, since file system resources are not being
consumed in this case, unless the user application wishes to save the core,
at which point the app is restricted by usual file system limits and
restrictions.
2) The core_pattern code should be able to parse and pass options to the
user space helper as an argv array. The real core limit of the uid of the
crashing proces should also be passable to the user space helper (since it
is overridden to zero when called).
3) Some miscellaneous bugs need to be cleaned up (specifically the
recognition of a recursive core dump, should the user mode helper itself
crash. Also, the core dump code in the kernel should not wait for the user
mode helper to exit, since the same context is responsible for writing to
the pipe, and a read of the pipe by the user mode helper will result in a
deadlock.
This patch:
Remove the check of RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe. In the event that
core_pattern is a pipe, the entire core will be fed to the user mode helper.

But most filesystems are lazy, and are not showing all mount options. Which
means, that without mtab, the user won't be able to see some or all of the
options.
It would be nice if the generic code could remember the mount options, and
show them without the need to add extra code to filesystems. But this is not
easy, because different filesystems handle mount options given options, and
not tough the rest. This is not taken into account by mount(8) either, so
/etc/mtab will be broken in this case.
This series fixes up ->show_options() in ext[234].

convert ill defined log2() to ilog2()

up, we didnt know _which_. With the new format we know that it's at a
specific place in sys_prctl(). [which was where i created an artificial
kernel lockup to test the new format.]
This is also useful if the lockup happens in user-space - the user-space
EIP (and other registers) will be printed too. (such a lockup would
either suggest that the task was running at SCHED_FIFO:99 and looping
for more than 10 seconds, or that the softlockup detector has a
false-positive.)
The task name is printed too first, just in case we dont manage to print
a useful backtrace.

Immunize rcu_dereference() against crazy compiler writers
Turns out that compiler writers are a bit more aggressive about optimizing
than one might expect. This patch prevents a number of such optimizations
from messing up rcu_deference(). This is not merely a theoretical problem, as
evidenced by the rmb() in mce_log().

mm: test and set zone reclaim lock before starting reclaim
Introduces new zone flag interface for testing and setting flags:
int zone_test_and_set_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag)
Instead of setting and clearing ZONE_RECLAIM_LOCKED each time shrink_zone() is
called, this flag is test and set before starting zone reclaim. Zone reclaim
starts in __alloc_pages() when a zone's watermark fails and the system is in
zone_reclaim_mode. If it's already in reclaim, there's no need to start again
so it is simply considered full for that allocation attempt.
There is a change of behavior with regard to concurrent zone shrinking. It is
now possible for try_to_free_pages() or kswapd to already be shrinking a
particular zone when __alloc_pages() starts zone reclaim. In this case, it is
possible for two concurrent threads to invoke shrink_zone() for a single zone.
This change forbids a zone to be in zone reclaim twice, which was always the
behavior, but allows for concurrent try_to_free_pages() or kswapd shrinking
when starting zone reclaim.

oom: serialize out of memory calls
A final allocation attempt with a very high watermark needs to be attempted
before invoking out_of_memory(). OOM killer serialization needs to occur
before this final attempt, otherwise tasks attempting to OOM-lock all zones in
its zonelist may spin and acquire the lock unnecessarily after the OOM
condition has already been alleviated.
If the final allocation does succeed, the zonelist is simply OOM-unlocked and
__alloc_pages() returns the page. Otherwise, the OOM killer is invoked.
If the task cannot acquire OOM-locks on all zones in its zonelist, it is put
to sleep and the allocation is retried when it gets rescheduled. One of its
zones is already marked as being in the OOM killer so it'll hopefully be
getting some free memory soon, at least enough to satisfy a high watermark
allocation attempt. This prevents needlessly killing a task when the OOM
condition would have already been alleviated if it had simply been given
enough time.

OOM killer synchronization should be done with zone granularity so that memory

possible if locking was done in nodes or globally.
Synchronization shall be done with a variation of "trylocks." The goal is to
put the current task to sleep and restart the failed allocation attempt later

Each zone in the zonelist that __alloc_pages() was called with is checked for
the newly-introduced ZONE_OOM_LOCKED flag. If any zone has this flag present,
the "trylock" to serialize the OOM killer fails and returns zero. Otherwise,
all the zones have ZONE_OOM_LOCKED set and the try_set_zone_oom() function

mm: per device dirty threshold
Scale writeback cache per backing device, proportional to its writeout speed.
By decoupling the BDI dirty thresholds a number of problems we currently have
will go away, namely:
- mutual interference starvation (for any number of BDIs);
- deadlocks with stacked BDIs (loop, FUSE and local NFS mounts).
It might be that all dirty pages are for a single BDI while other BDIs are
idling. By giving each BDI a 'fair' share of the dirty limit, each one can have
dirty pages outstanding and make progress.
A global threshold also creates a deadlock for stacked BDIs; when A writes to
B, and A generates enough dirty pages to get throttled, B will never start
writeback until the dirty pages go away. Again, by giving each BDI its own
'independent' dirty limit, this problem is avoided.
So the problem is to determine how to distribute the total dirty limit across
the BDIs fairly and efficiently. A DBI that has a large dirty limit but does
not have any dirty pages outstanding is a waste.
What is done is to keep a floating proportion between the DBIs based on
writeback completions. This way faster/more active devices get a larger share
than slower/idle devices.
