The former is now strict, it will fail if it cannot honor the allocation
within the node, while the later implements the previous semantic which
falls back to allocating anywhere.

We now provide a default (weak) implementation of memblock_nid_range()
which uses the early_pfn_map[] if CONFIG_ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP
is set. Sparc still needs to use its own method due to the way
the pages can be scattered between nodes.
This implementation is inefficient due to our main algorithm and
callback construct wanting to work on an ascending addresses bases
while early_pfn_map[] would rather work with nid's (it's unsorted
at that stage). But it should work and we can look into improving
it subsequently, possibly using arch compile options to chose a
different algorithm alltogether.

Some archs such as ARM want to avoid coalescing accross things such
as the lowmem/highmem boundary or similar. This provides the option
to control it via an arch callback for which a weak default is provided
which always allows coalescing.

When one of the array gets full, we resize it. After much thinking and
a few iterations of that code, I went back to on-demand resizing using
the (new) internal memblock_find_base() function, which is pretty much what
Yinghai initially proposed, though there some differences in the details.
To work this relies on the default alloc limit being set sensibly by
the architecture.

The RMA (RMO is a misnomer) is a concept specific to ppc64 (in fact
server ppc64 though I hijack it on embedded ppc64 for similar purposes)
and represents the area of memory that can be accessed in real mode
(aka with MMU off), or on embedded, from the exception vectors (which
is bolted in the TLB) which pretty much boils down to the same thing.
We take that out of the generic MEMBLOCK data structure and move it into
arch/powerpc where it belongs, renaming it to "RMA" while at it.

This introduce memblock.current_limit which is used to limit allocations
from memblock_alloc() or memblock_alloc_base(..., MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE).
The old MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE changes value from 0 to ~(u64)0 and can still
be used with memblock_alloc_base() to allocate really anywhere.
It is -no-longer- cropped to MEMBLOCK_REAL_LIMIT which disappears.
Note to archs: I'm leaving the default limit to MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE. I
strongly recommend that you ensure that you set an appropriate limit
during boot in order to guarantee that an memblock_alloc() at any time
results in something that is accessible with a simple __va().
The reason is that a subsequent patch will introduce the ability for
the array to resize itself by reallocating itself. The MEMBLOCK core will
honor the current limit when performing those allocations.

possible after the use of the slub_lock during dynamic dma creation has been

Then make sure that the setup of the slab sysfs entries does not race

If a slab cache is removed before we have setup sysfs then simply skip over

In common cases, guest SRAO MCE will cause corresponding poisoned page
be un-mapped and SIGBUS be sent to QEMU-KVM, then QEMU-KVM will relay
the MCE to guest OS.
But it is reported that if the poisoned page is accessed in guest
after unmapping and before MCE is relayed to guest OS, userspace will
be killed.
The reason is as follows. Because poisoned page has been un-mapped,
guest access will cause guest exit and kvm_mmu_page_fault will be
called. kvm_mmu_page_fault can not get the poisoned page for fault
address, so kernel and user space MMIO processing is tried in turn. In
user MMIO processing, poisoned page is accessed again, then userspace
is killed by force_sig_info.
To fix the bug, kvm_mmu_page_fault send HWPOISON signal to QEMU-KVM
and do not try kernel and user space MMIO processing for poisoned
page.

Debian's ia64 autobuilders have been seeing kernel freeze or reboot
when running the gdb testsuite (Debian bug 588574): dannf bisected to
2.6.32 62eede62da "mm: ZERO_PAGE without
PTE_SPECIAL"; and reproduced it with gdb's gcore on a simple target.
I'd missed updating the gate_vma handling in __get_user_pages(): that
happens to use vm_normal_page() (nowadays failing on the zero page),
yet reported success even when it failed to get a page - boom when
access_process_vm() tried to copy that to its intermediate buffer.
Fix this, resisting cleanups: in particular, leave it for now reporting
success when not asked to get any pages - very probably safe to change,
but let's not risk it without testing exposure.
Why did ia64 crash with 16kB pages, but succeed with 64kB pages?
Because setup_gate() pads each 64kB of its gate area with zero pages.

The network developers have seen sporadic allocations resulting in objects
coming from unexpected NUMA nodes despite asking for objects from a
specific node.
This is due to get_partial() calling get_any_partial() if partial
slabs are exhausted for a node even if a node was specified and therefore
one would expect allocations only from the specified node.
get_any_partial() sporadically may return a slab from a foreign
node to gradually reduce the size of partial lists on remote nodes
and thereby reduce total memory use for a slab cache.
The behavior is controlled by the remote_defrag_ratio of each cache.
Strictly speaking this is permitted behavior since __GFP_THISNODE was
not specified for the allocation but it is certain surprising.
This patch makes sure that the remote defrag behavior only occurs
if no node was specified.

slab has a "once every 2 second" timer for its housekeeping.
As the number of logical processors is growing, its more and more
common that this 2 second timer becomes the primary wakeup source.
This patch turns this housekeeping timer into a deferable timer,
which means that the timer does not interrupt idle, but just runs
at the next event that wakes the cpu up.
The impact is that the timer likely runs a bit later, but during the
delay no code is running so there's not all that much reason for
a difference in housekeeping to occur because of this delay.
