With the movement of the ima hooks functions were renamed from *path* to
*file* since they always deal with struct file.  This patch renames some of
the ima internal flags to make them consistent with the rest of the code.

<title>HWPOISON: Add soft page offline support</title>

<id>facb6011f3993947283fa15d039dacb4ad140230</id>
<content type='text'>
This is a simpler, gentler variant of memory_failure() for soft page
offlining controlled from user space.  It doesn't kill anything, just
tries to invalidate and if that doesn't work migrate the
page away.

This is useful for predictive failure analysis, where a page has
a high rate of corrected errors, but hasn't gone bad yet. Instead
it can be offlined early and avoided.

The offlining is controlled from sysfs, including a new generic
entry point for hard page offlining for symmetry too.

We use the page isolate facility to prevent re-allocation
race. Normally this is only used by memory hotplug. To avoid
races with memory allocation I am using lock_system_sleep().
This avoids the situation where memory hotplug is about
to isolate a page range and then hwpoison undoes that work.
This is a big hammer currently, but the simplest solution
currently.

When the page is not free or LRU we try to free pages
from slab and other caches. The slab freeing is currently
quite dumb and does not try to focus on the specific slab
cache which might own the page. This could be potentially
improved later.

Thanks to Fengguang Wu and Haicheng Li for some fixes.

[Added fix from Andrew Morton to adapt to new migrate_pages prototype]

<title>mm: add numa node symlink for memory section in sysfs</title>

Commit c04fc586c (mm: show node to memory section relationship with
symlinks in sysfs) created symlinks from nodes to memory sections, e.g.

/sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -&gt; ../../memory/memory135

If you're examining the memory section though and are wondering what node
it might belong to, you can find it by grovelling around in sysfs, but
it's a little cumbersome.

Add a reverse symlink for each memory section that points back to the
node to which it belongs.

Accroding commit 0994375e, which is adding remove_id sysfs attr

a pci/usb devices to a specified drivers; with this patch,
the management tools can be simplied.

And the original code didn't handle the failure of
usb_create_newid_file, fixed in this patch.
