Instead of setting and clearing ZONE_RECLAIM_LOCKED each time shrink_zone() is

There is a change of behavior with regard to concurrent zone shrinking.  It is

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

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.

Given a set of objects, floating proportions aims to efficiently give the
proportional 'activity' of a single item as compared to the whole set. Where
'activity' is a measure of a temporal property of the items.

SELinux: improve performance when AVC misses.

* We add ebitmap_for_each_positive_bit() which enables to walk on
  any positive bit on the given ebitmap, to improve its performance
  using common bit-operations defined in linux/bitops.h.
  In the previous version, this logic was implemented using a combination
  of ebitmap_for_each_bit() and ebitmap_node_get_bit(), but is was worse
  in performance aspect.
  This logic is most frequestly used to compute a new AVC entry,
  so this patch can improve SELinux performance when AVC misses are happen.
* struct ebitmap_node is redefined as an array of "unsigned long", to get
  suitable for using find_next_bit() which is fasted than iteration of
  shift and logical operation, and to maximize memory usage allocated
  from general purpose slab.
* Any ebitmap_for_each_bit() are repleced by the new implementation
  in ss/service.c and ss/mls.c. Some of related implementation are
  changed, however, there is no incompatibility with the previous
  version.
* The width of any new line are less or equal than 80-chars.

The following benchmark shows the effect of this patch, when we
access many files which have different security context one after
another. The number is more than /selinux/avc/cache_threshold, so
any access always causes AVC misses.

firewire: fw-sbp2: always enable IRQs before calling command ORB callback

On IOMMU-less noncoherent architectures, orb->callback will memcpy the
whole SCSI command buffer for READ-like SCSI commands.  It is therefore
friendlier to enable IRQs before the call, like before patch "Add
ref-counting for sbp2 orbs".

At least since nodemgr got rid of coarse global locking, accesses to
struct csr1212_keyval's reference counter should be atomic and coupled
with proper barriers.  Also, calls to csr1212_keep_keyval(kv) should

is not true, on receiving a signal (might never happen in practice, as
it ignores signals). But considering kthread_stop() must not be mixed with
kthreads that can exit on their own, I think changing the code like this
is clearer. This change means the thread can cut its sleep short when
receive a signal but looking at the code around, that sounds okay (and
again, it might never actually recieve a signal in practice).
