[PATCH] vfs: add splice_write and splice_read to documentation
[PATCH] Remove sys_ prefix of new syscalls from __NR_sys_*
[PATCH] splice: warning fix
[PATCH] another round of fs/pipe.c cleanups
[PATCH] splice: comment styles

[PATCH] splice: unlikely() optimizations
[PATCH] splice: speedups and optimizations
[PATCH] pipe.c/fifo.c code cleanups
[PATCH] get rid of the PIPE_*() macros
[PATCH] splice: speedup __generic_file_splice_read
[PATCH] splice: add direct fd <-> fd splicing support
[PATCH] splice: add optional input and output offsets
[PATCH] introduce a "kernel-internal pipe object" abstraction
[PATCH] splice: be smarter about calling do_page_cache_readahead()
[PATCH] splice: optimize the splice buffer mapping
[PATCH] splice: cleanup __generic_file_splice_read()
[PATCH] splice: only call wake_up_interruptible() when we really have to
[PATCH] splice: potential !page dereference
[PATCH] splice: mark the io page as accessed
Introduce GFP_NOWAIT, as an alias for GFP_ATOMIC & ~__GFP_HIGH.
This also changes XFS, which is the only in-tree user of this idiom that I
could find. The XFS piece is compile-tested only.

that have been unlinked, we may need to execute transactions during
reclaim. By the time the transaction has hit the disk, the linux inode and
xfs vnode may already have been freed so we can't reference them safely.
Use the known xfs inode state to determine if it is safe to reference the
vnode and linux inode during the unpin operation.

millions of inodes cached and has sparse cluster population, removing
inodes from the cluster hash consumes excessive amounts of CPU time.
Reduce the CPU cost by making removal O(1) via use of a double linked list
for the hash chains.

separate out the 'internal pipe object' abstraction, and make it
usable to splice. This cleans up and fixes several aspects of the
internal splice APIs and the pipe code:
- pipes: the allocation and freeing of pipe_inode_info is now more symmetric
and more streamlined with existing kernel practices.
- splice: small micro-optimization: less pointer dereferencing in splice
methods

This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/
const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups
The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to
shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with
things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
cache clean)

Now that get_block() can handle mapping multiple disk blocks, no need to have
->get_blocks(). This patch removes fs specific ->get_blocks() added for DIO
and makes it users use get_block() instead.

This patch changes mpage_readpages() and get_block() to get the disk mapping
information for multiple blocks at the same time.
b_size represents the amount of disk mapping that needs to mapped. On the
successful get_block() b_size indicates the amount of disk mapping thats
actually mapped. Only the filesystems who care to use this information and
provide multiple disk blocks at a time can choose to do so.
No changes are needed for the filesystems who wants to ignore this.

Change the kmem_cache_create calls for certain slab caches to support cpuset
memory spreading.
See the previous patches, cpuset_mem_spread, for an explanation of cpuset
memory spreading, and cpuset_mem_spread_slab_cache for the slab cache support
for memory spreading.
The slab caches marked for now are: dentry_cache, inode_cache, some xfs slab
caches, and buffer_head. This list may change over time. In particular,
other file system types that are used extensively on large NUMA systems may
want to allow for spreading their directory and inode slab cache entries.

Centralize the page migration functions in anticipation of additional
tinkering. Creates a new file mm/migrate.c
1. Extract buffer_migrate_page() from fs/buffer.c
2. Extract central migration code from vmscan.c
3. Extract some components from mempolicy.c
4. Export pageout() and remove_from_swap() from vmscan.c
5. Make it possible to configure NUMA systems without page migration
and non-NUMA systems with page migration.
I had to so some #ifdeffing in mempolicy.c that may need a cleanup.

the completion of any pending DIOs. Since the truncate requires exclusive
IOLOCK, so this blocks any further DIO operations since DIO write also
needs exclusive IOBLOCK. This serves as a barrier and prevent any
