This patch increases the granularity of the rate generated by pktgen.
The previous version of pktgen uses micro seconds (udelay) resolution when it
was delayed causing gaps in the rates. It is changed to nanosecond (ndelay).
Now any rate is possible.
Also it allows to set, the desired rate in Mb/s or packets per second.
The documentation has been updated.

v2: changed bonding module version, modified to apply on top of changes
from previous patch in series, and updated documentation to elaborate on
multiqueue awareness that now exists in bonding driver.
This patch give the user the ability to control the output slave for
round-robin and active-backup bonding. Similar functionality was
discussed in the past, but Jay Vosburgh indicated he would rather see a
feature like this added to existing modes rather than creating a
completely new mode. Jay's thoughts as well as Neil's input surrounding
some of the issues with the first implementation pushed us toward a
design that relied on the queue_mapping rather than skb marks.
Round-robin and active-backup modes were chosen as the first users of
this slave selection as they seemed like the most logical choices when
considering a multi-switch environment.
Round-robin mode works without any modification, but active-backup does
require inclusion of the first patch in this series and setting
the 'all_slaves_active' flag. This will allow reception of unicast traffic on
any of the backup interfaces.
This was tested with IPv4-based filters as well as VLAN-based filters
with good results.
More information as well as a configuration example is available in the
patch to Documentation/networking/bonding.txt.

This patch adds a setting, PACKET_TIMESTAMP, to specify the packet
timestamp source that is exported to capture utilities like tcpdump by
packet_mmap.
PACKET_TIMESTAMP accepts the same integer bit field as
SO_TIMESTAMPING. However, only the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE and
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE values are currently recognized by
PACKET_TIMESTAMP. SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE takes precedence over
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE if both bits are set.
If PACKET_TIMESTAMP is not set, a software timestamp generated inside
the networking stack is used (the behavior before this setting was
added).

Introduce a new truncate calling sequence into fs/mm subsystems. Rather than
setattr > vmtruncate > truncate, have filesystems call their truncate sequence
from ->setattr if filesystem specific operations are required. vmtruncate is
deprecated, and truncate_pagecache and inode_newsize_ok helpers introduced
previously should be used.
simple_setattr is introduced for simple in-ram filesystems to implement
the new truncate sequence. Eventually all filesystems should be converted
to implement a setattr, and the default code in notify_change should go
away.
simple_setsize is also introduced to perform just the ATTR_SIZE portion
of simple_setattr (ie. changing i_size and trimming pagecache).
To implement the new truncate sequence:
- filesystem specific manipulations (eg freeing blocks) must be done in
the setattr method rather than ->truncate.
- vmtruncate can not be used by core code to trim blocks past i_size in
the event of write failure after allocation, so this must be performed
in the fs code.
- convert usage of helpers block_write_begin, nobh_write_begin,
cont_write_begin, and *blockdev_direct_IO* to use _newtrunc postfixed
variants. These avoid calling vmtruncate to trim blocks (see previous).
- inode_setattr should not be used. generic_setattr is a new function
to be used to copy simple attributes into the generic inode.
- make use of the better opportunity to handle errors with the new sequence.
Big problem with the previous calling sequence: the filesystem is not called
until i_size has already changed. This means it is not allowed to fail the
call, and also it does not know what the previous i_size was. Also, generic
code calling vmtruncate to truncate allocated blocks in case of error had
no good way to return a meaningful error (or, for example, atomically handle
block deallocation).

Driver for the TI TMP102.
The TI TMP102 is similar to the LM75. It differs from the LM75 by
having a 16-bit conf register and the temp registers have a minimum
resolution of 12 bits; the extended conf register can select 13-bit
resolution (which this driver does) and also change the update rate
(which this driver currently doesn't use).

Kamezawa Hiroyuki requested documentation for the numa_mem_id() and slab
related changes. He suggested Documentation/vm/numa for this
documentation. Looking at this file, it seems to me to be hopelessly out
of date relative to current Linux NUMA support. At the risk of going down
a rathole, I have made an attempt to rewrite the doc at a slightly higher
level [I think] and provide pointers to other in-tree documents and
out-of-tree man pages that cover the details.
Let the games begin.

The inode's i_size is not protected by the big kernel lock. Therefore it
does not make sense to recommend taking the BKL in filesystems llseek
operations. Instead it should use the inode's mutex or use just use

This patch adds support for moving charge of file pages, which include
normal file, tmpfs file and swaps of tmpfs file. It's enabled by setting
bit 1 of <target cgroup>/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate.
Unlike the case of anonymous pages, file pages(and swaps) in the range
mmapped by the task will be moved even if the task hasn't done page fault,
i.e. they might not be the task's "RSS", but other task's "RSS" that maps
the same file. And mapcount of the page is ignored(the page can be moved
even if page_mapcount(page) > 1). So, conditions that the page/swap
should be met to be moved is that it must be in the range mmapped by the
target task and it must be charged to the old cgroup.

This adds a feature to disable oom-killer for memcg, if disabled, of
course, tasks under memcg will stop.
But now, we have oom-notifier for memcg. And the world around memcg is
not under out-of-memory. memcg's out-of-memory just shows memcg hits
limit. Then, administrator or management daemon can recover the situation
by
- kill some process
- enlarge limit, add more swap.
- migrate some tasks
- remove file cache on tmps (difficult ?)
Unlike oom-killer, you can take enough information before killing tasks.

Considering containers or other resource management softwares in userland,
event notification of OOM in memcg should be implemented. Now, memcg has
"threshold" notifier which uses eventfd, we can make use of it for oom
notification.
This patch adds oom notification eventfd callback for memcg. The usage is
very similar to threshold notifier, but control file is memory.oom_control
and no arguments other than eventfd is required.

This adds:
alias: devname:<name>
to some common kernel modules, which will allow the on-demand loading
of the kernel module when the device node is accessed.
Ideally all these modules would be compiled-in, but distros seems too
much in love with their modularization that we need to cover the common
cases with this new facility. It will allow us to remove a bunch of pretty
useless init scripts and modprobes from init scripts.
The static device node aliases will be carried in the module itself. The
program depmod will extract this information to a file in the module directory:
$ cat /lib/modules/2.6.34-00650-g537b60d-dirty/modules.devname
# Device nodes to trigger on-demand module loading.
microcode cpu/microcode c10:184
fuse fuse c10:229
ppp_generic ppp c108:0
tun net/tun c10:200
dm_mod mapper/control c10:235
Udev will pick up the depmod created file on startup and create all the
static device nodes which the kernel modules specify, so that these modules
get automatically loaded when the device node is accessed:
$ /sbin/udevd --debug
...
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/cpu/microcode' c10:184

A few device nodes are switched to statically allocated numbers, to allow
the static nodes to work. This might also useful for systems which still run
a plain static /dev, which is completely unsafe to use with any dynamic minor
numbers.
Note:
The devname aliases must be limited to the *common* and *single*instance*
device nodes, like the misc devices, and never be used for conceptually limited
systems like the loop devices, which should rather get fixed properly and get a
control node for losetup to talk to, instead of creating a random number of
device nodes in advance, regardless if they are ever used.
This facility is to hide the mess distros are creating with too modualized
kernels, and just to hide that these modules are not compiled-in, and not to
paper-over broken concepts. Thanks! :)

All application domains that are supported by the old ieee1394 driver
stack are supported by the newer firewire driver stack too. There is
now good and extensive experience with the newer stack from deployment
in Fedora since F7 as well as by enthusiast users of other
distributions.
The new drivers have consequently been recommended as the default ones
since 2.6.33, in order to fix some severe usability problems of FireWire
on Linux due to limitations of the old stack. It is now high time to
announce when the obsolete drivers will be removed.

and when it should be reclaimed
The kernel applies some heuristics when deciding if memory should be
compacted or reclaimed to satisfy a high-order allocation. One of these
is based on the fragmentation. If the index is below 500, memory will not
be compacted. This choice is arbitrary and not based on data. To help
optimise the system and set a sensible default for this value, this patch
adds a sysctl extfrag_threshold. The kernel will only compact memory if
the fragmentation index is above the extfrag_threshold.
