Migrate a page with buffers without requiring writeback
This introduces a new address space operation migratepage() that may be used
by a filesystem to implement its own version of page migration.
A version is provided that migrates buffers attached to pages. Some
filesystems (ext2, ext3, xfs) are modified to utilize this feature.
The swapper address space operation are modified so that a regular
migrate_page() will occur for anonymous pages without writeback (migrate_pages
forces every anonymous page to have a swap entry).

Add remove_from_swap
remove_from_swap() allows the restoration of the pte entries that existed
before page migration occurred for anonymous pages by walking the reverse
maps. This reduces swap use and establishes regular pte's without the need
for page faults.

Add direct migration support with fall back to swap.
Direct migration support on top of the swap based page migration facility.
This allows the direct migration of anonymous pages and the migration of file
backed pages by dropping the associated buffers (requires writeout).
Fall back to swap out if necessary.
The patch is based on lots of patches from the hotplug project but the code
was restructured, documented and simplified as much as possible.
Note that an additional patch that defines the migrate_page() method for
filesystems is necessary in order to avoid writeback for anonymous and file
backed pages.

Currently the zone_reclaim code has a fixed window of 30 seconds of off node
allocations should a local zone have no unused pagecache pages left. Reclaim
will be attempted again after this timeout period to avoid repeated useless
scans for memory. This is also useful to established sufficiently large off
node allocation chunks to relieve the local node.
It may be beneficial to adjust that time period for some special situations.
For example if memory use was exceeding node capacity one may want to give up
for longer periods of time. If memory spikes intermittendly then one may want
to shorten the time period to reduce the number of off node allocations.
This patch allows just that....

GFP_ZONETYPES calculate from GFP_ZONEMASK
GFP_ZONETYPES's value is directly related to the value of GFP_ZONEMASK. It
takes one of two forms depending whether the top bit of GFP_ZONEMASK is a
'loner'. Supply both forms, enabling the loner.

This arch-independent routine copies data to a memory-mapped I/O region,
using 32-bit accesses. The naming is double-underscored to make it clear
that it does not guarantee write ordering, nor does it perform a memory
barrier afterwards; the kernel doc also explicitly states this. This style
of access is required by some devices.
This change also introduces include/linux/io.h, at Andrew's suggestion. It
only has one occupant at the moment, but is a logical destination for
oft-replicated contents of include/asm-*/{io,iomap}.h to migrate to.

From: Steven Rostedtrostedt@goodmis.org <rostedt@goodmis.org>
CPU0 expires a posix-timer and runs the callback function. The signal is
queued.
After releasing the posix-timer lock and before returning to hrtimer_run_queue
CPU0 gets interrupted. CPU1 delivers the queued signal and rearms the timer.
CPU0 comes back to hrtimer_run_queue and sets the timer state to expired.
The next modification of the timer can result in an oops, because the state
information is wrong.
Keep track of state = RUNNING and check if the state has been in the return
path of hrtimer_run_queue. In case the state has been changed, ignore a
restart request and do not touch the state variable.

While asynchronous reads mean a performance improvement in most cases, if
the filesystem assumed that reads are synchronous, then async reads may
degrade performance (filesystem may receive reads out of order, which can
confuse it's own readahead logic).
With sshfs a 1.5 to 4 times slowdown can be measured.
There's also a need for userspace filesystems to know whether asynchronous
reads are supported by the kernel or not.
To achive these, negotiate in the INIT request whether async reads will be
used and the maximum readahead value. Update interface version to 7.6
If userspace uses a version earlier than 7.6, then disable async reads, and
set maximum readahead value to the maximum read size, as done in previous
versions.

by ip_route_connect for the new route lookup and just replaces the port

Another hook needed for wireless USB: there are states associated with the
device authentication protocol. Wireless devices must authenticate using
the host system's keystore.
Note that wired connections could also use this authentication protocol, if
for no other reason than to support the most secure "simple" key exchange
protocols for wireless devices.

When the scsi_execute_async interface was added it ended up reducing
the flexibility of userspace to send arbitrary scsi commands through
sg using SG_IO. The SG_IO interface allows userspace to specify the
CDB length. This is now ignored in scsi_execute_async and it is
guessed using the COMMAND_SIZE macro, which is not always correct,
particularly for vendor specific commands. This patch adds a cmd_len
parameter to the scsi_execute_async interface to allow the caller
to specify the length of the CDB.

Same reasoning as commit 747c8a55946ed037bf7d62454c3c599c02af2262
but this time we're making uart_port flags a bitwise type - not
all of these flags correspond with the old ASYNC_ flags, so there
is the possibility for bugs if the wrong ASYNC_* constants are
used. Always use UPF_* constants for uart_port->flags.
