Count the insertion of new pages in the statistics used to drive the
pageout scanning code. This should help the kernel quickly evict
streaming file IO.
We count on the fact that new file pages start on the inactive file LRU
and new anonymous pages start on the active anon list. This means
streaming file IO will increment the recent scanned file statistic, while
leaving the recent rotated file statistic alone, driving pageout scanning
to the file LRUs.
Pageout activity does its own list manipulation.

Devices which share the same queue, like floppies and mtd devices, get
registered multiple times in the bdi interface, but bdi accounts only the
last registered device of the devices sharing one queue.
On remove, all earlier registered devices leak, stay around in sysfs, and
cause "duplicate filename" errors if the devices are re-created.
This prevents the creation of multiple bdi interfaces per queue, and the
bdi device will carry the dev_t name of the block device which is the
first one registered, of the pool of devices using the same queue.

It seems that on some nVidia controllers using AltStatus register
can be unreliable so default to Status register if the PCI device
is in Compatibility Mode. In order to achieve this:
* Add ide_pci_is_in_compatibility_mode() inline helper to <linux/ide.h>.
* Add IDE_HFLAG_BROKEN_ALTSTATUS host flag and set it in amd74xx host
driver for nVidia controllers in Compatibility Mode.
* Teach actual_try_to_identify() and drive_is_ready() about the new flag.
This fixes the regression caused by removal of CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ
config option in 2.6.25 and using AltStatus register unconditionally when
available (kernel.org bugs #11659 and #10216).
[ Moreover for CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y (which is what most people
and distributions use) it never worked correctly. ]

Fix module removal bugs of i82875p_edac. Also i82975x_edac code seems to
have the same module removal bugs as in i82875p_edac.
The problems were:
1. In module removal i82875p_remove_one() is never called.
Variable i82875p_registered is newer changed from 1, which
guarantees i82875p_remove_one() is not called (and even if it were
called, it would be called in wrong order).
As a result, the edac_mc workque is not stopped and keeps probing.
If kernel debugging options are not enabled, user may not notice
anything going wrong.
if debugging options are enabled and I do "rmmod i82875p_edac", I
get:
edac debug: edac_pci_workq_function() checking
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f882d16f
...
call trace:

[<c02367ce>] ? kthread+0x0/0x61
[<c0204587>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10
Fix for this is to get rid of needles variable i82875p_registered
altogether and run i82875p_remove_one() *before*
pci_unregister_driver().
2. edac_mc_del_mc() uses mci after freeing mci
edac_mc_del_mc() calls calls edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device(). The
kobject refcount of mci drops to 0 and mci is freed. After this
mci is accessed via debug print and i82875p_remove_one() still
uses mci->pvt and tries to free mci again with edac_mc_free().
The fix for this is add kobject_get(&mci->edac_mci_kobj) after
edac_mc_alloc(). Then the mci is still available after returning
from edac_mc_del_mc() with refcount 1, and mci->pvt is still
available. When i82875p_remove_one() finally calls edac_mc_free(),
this will cause kobject_put() and mci is released properly.

When I do "modprobe i82875p_edac" on my Asus P4C800 MB on kernels 2.6.26
or later, the module load fails due to BAR 0 collision. On 2.6.25 the
module loads just fine.
The overflow device on the MB seems to be hidden and its resources are not
allocated at normal PCI bus init. Log shows the missing resource problem:
EDAC DEBUG: i82875p_probe1()

I am again able to load and use the module.

The commit aef7db4bd5 fixed the problem with
recursive locking in fb blanking code if blank is caused by user setting
the /sys/class/graphics/fb*/blank. However this broke the fbcon timeout
blanking.
If you use a driver that defines ->fb_blank operation and at the same time
that driver relies on other driver (e.g. backlight or lcd class) to blank
the screen, when the fbcon times out and tries to blank the fb, it will
call only fb driver blanker and won't notify the other driver. Thus FB
output is disabled, but the screen isn't blanked.
Restore fbcon blanking and at the same time apply the proper fix for the
above problem: if fbcon_blank is called with FBINFO_FLAG_USEREVENT, we are
already called through notification from fb_blank, thus we don't have to
blank the fb again.

It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also
limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll
interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified
version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large
amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To
solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based
configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created,
named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration
points:
max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user
max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user
The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll
to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a
256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000.
That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The
default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be
enough too.
This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out
from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already
listed, so that should be ok.

Fixes for memcg/memory hotplug.
While memory hotplug allocate/free memmap, page_cgroup doesn't free
page_cgroup at OFFLINE when page_cgroup is allocated via bootomem.
(Because freeing bootmem requires special care.)
Then, if page_cgroup is allocated by bootmem and memmap is freed/allocated
by memory hotplug, page_cgroup->page == page is no longer true.
But current MEM_ONLINE handler doesn't check it and update
page_cgroup->page if it's not necessary to allocate page_cgroup. (This
was not found because memmap is not freed if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is y.)
And I noticed that MEM_ONLINE can be called against "part of section".
So, freeing page_cgroup at CANCEL_ONLINE will cause trouble. (freeing
used page_cgroup) Don't rollback at CANCEL.
One more, current memory hotplug notifier is stopped by slub because it
sets NOTIFY_STOP_MASK to return vaule. So, page_cgroup's callback never
be called. (low priority than slub now.)
I think this slub's behavior is not intentional(BUG). and fixes it.
Another way to be considered about page_cgroup allocation:
- free page_cgroup at OFFLINE even if it's from bootmem
and remove specieal handler. But it requires more changes.
