nfs: tear down caches in nfs_init_writepagecache when allocation fails

2012-09-12T02:36:48+00:00

commit 3dd4765fce04c0b4af1e0bc4c0b10f906f95fabc upstream.

...and ensure that we tear down the nfs_commit_data cache too when
unloading the module.

mm: compaction: introduce sync-light migration for use by compaction

2012-08-02T13:37:32+00:00

commit a6bc32b899223a877f595ef9ddc1e89ead5072b8 upstream.

Stable note: Not tracked in Buzilla. This was part of a series that
	reduced interactivity stalls experienced when THP was enabled.
	These stalls were particularly noticable when copying data
	to a USB stick but the experiences for users varied a lot.

This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT
mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage.  Async compaction
maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT.
For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is
used.

This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time,
particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a
large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support
->writepages.

mm: compaction: determine if dirty pages can be migrated without blocking within ->migratepage

2012-08-02T13:37:30+00:00

commit b969c4ab9f182a6e1b2a0848be349f99714947b0 upstream.

Stable note: Not tracked in Bugzilla. A fix aimed at preserving page
	aging information by reducing LRU list churning had the side-effect
	of reducing THP allocation success rates. This was part of a series
	to restore the success rates while preserving the reclaim fix.

Asynchronous compaction is used when allocating transparent hugepages to
avoid blocking for long periods of time.  Due to reports of stalling,
there was a debate on disabling synchronous compaction but this severely
impacted allocation success rates.  Part of the reason was that many dirty
pages are skipped in asynchronous compaction by the following check;

	if (PageDirty(page) && !sync &&
		mapping->a_ops->migratepage != migrate_page)
			rc = -EBUSY;

This skips over all mapping aops using buffer_migrate_page() even though
it is possible to migrate some of these pages without blocking.  This
patch updates the ->migratepage callback with a "sync" parameter.  It is
the responsibility of the callback to fail gracefully if migration would
block.

nfs: Remove unused variable from write.c

2011-11-03T03:50:24+00:00

When CONFIG_NFS=y and CONFIG_NFS_V3_{,V4}=n we get the following warning.

	fs/nfs/write.c: In function ‘nfs_writeback_done’:
	fs/nfs/write.c:1246:21: warning: unused variable ‘server’

 Remove the variable 'server' to fix the above warning.

fs: add export.h to files using EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE macros

2011-10-31T23:30:31+00:00

These files were getting  via an implicit include
path, but we want to crush those out of existence since they cost
time during compiles of processing thousands of lines of headers
for no reason.  Give them the lightweight header that just contains
the EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure.
