Detach sched.h from mm.h
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
getting them indirectly
Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

[PATCH] writeback: fix range handling
When a writeback_control's `start' and `end' fields are used to
indicate a one-byte-range starting at file offset zero, the required
values of .start=0,.end=0 mean that the ->writepages() implementation
has no way of telling that it is being asked to perform a range
request. Because we're currently overloading (start == 0 && end == 0)
to mean "this is not a write-a-range request".
To make all this sane, the patch changes range of writeback_control.
So caller does: If it is calling ->writepages() to write pages, it
sets range (range_start/end or range_cyclic) always.
And if range_cyclic is true, ->writepages() thinks the range is
cyclic, otherwise it just uses range_start and range_end.
This patch does,
- Add LLONG_MAX, LLONG_MIN, ULLONG_MAX to include/linux/kernel.h
-1 is usually ok for range_end (type is long long). But, if someone did,
range_end += val; range_end is "val - 1"
u64val = range_end >> bits; u64val is "~(0ULL)"
or something, they are wrong. So, this adds LLONG_MAX to avoid nasty
things, and uses LLONG_MAX for range_end.
- All callers of ->writepages() sets range_start/end or range_cyclic.
- Fix updates of ->writeback_index. It seems already bit strange.
If it starts at 0 and ended by check of nr_to_write, this last
index may reduce chance to scan end of file. So, this updates
->writeback_index only if range_cyclic is true or whole-file is
scanned.

writeback: speed up writeback of big dirty files
After making dirty a 100M file, the normal behavior is to start the
writeback for all data after 30s delays. But sometimes the following
happens instead:
- after 30s: ~4M
- after 5s: ~4M
- after 5s: all remaining 92M
Some analyze shows that the internal io dispatch queues goes like this:
s_io s_more_io
-------------------------
1) 100M,1K 0
2) 1K 96M
3) 0 96M
1) initial state with a 100M file and a 1K file
2) 4M written, nr_to_write <= 0, so write more
3) 1K written, nr_to_write > 0, no more writes(BUG)
nr_to_write > 0 in (3) fools the upper layer to think that data have all
been written out. The big dirty file is actually still sitting in
s_more_io. We cannot simply splice s_more_io back to s_io as soon as s_io
becomes empty, and let the loop in generic_sync_sb_inodes() continue: this
may starve newly expired inodes in s_dirty. It is also not an option to
draw inodes from both s_more_io and s_dirty, an let the loop go on: this
might lead to live locks, and might also starve other superblocks in sync
time(well kupdate may still starve some superblocks, that's another bug).
We have to return when a full scan of s_io completes. So nr_to_write > 0
does not necessarily mean that "all data are written". This patch
introduces a flag writeback_control.more_io to indicate that more io should
be done. With it the big dirty file no longer has to wait for the next
kupdate invokation 5s later.
In sync_sb_inodes() we only set more_io on super_blocks we actually
visited. This avoids the interaction between two pdflush deamons.
Also in __sync_single_inode() we don't blindly keep requeuing the io if the
filesystem cannot progress. Failing to do so may lead to 100% iowait.
