[PATCH] zone_reclaim: additional comments and cleanup

Add some comments to explain how zone reclaim works.  And it fixes the
following issues:

- PF_SWAPWRITE needs to be set for RECLAIM_SWAP to be able to write
  out pages to swap. Currently RECLAIM_SWAP may not do that.

- remove setting nr_reclaimed pages after slab reclaim since the slab shrinking
  code does not use that and the nr_reclaimed pages is just right for the
  intended follow up action.

[PATCH] vmscan: rename functions

We have:

try_to_free_pages
->shrink_caches(struct zone **zones, ..)
  ->shrink_zone(struct zone *, ...)
    ->shrink_cache(struct zone *, ...)
      ->shrink_list(struct list_head *, ...)
    ->refill_inactive_list((struct zone *, ...)

which is fairly irrational.

[PATCH] vmscan return nr_reclaimed

Change all the vmscan functions to retunr the number-of-reclaimed pages and
remove scan_conrtol.nr_reclaimed.

Saves ten-odd bytes of text and makes things clearer and more consistent.

The patch also changes the behaviour of zone_reclaim() when it falls back to slab shrinking.  Christoph says

  "Setting this to one means that we will rescan and shrink the slab for
  each allocation if we are out of zone memory and RECLAIM_SLAB is set.  Plus
  if we do an order 0 allocation we do not go off node as intended.

  "We better set this to zero.  This means the allocation will go offnode
  despite us having potentially freed lots of memory on the zone.  Future
  allocations can then again be done from this zone."

[PATCH] on_each_cpu(): disable local interrupts

When on_each_cpu() runs the callback on other CPUs, it runs with local
interrupts disabled.  So we should run the function with local interrupts
disabled on this CPU, too.

And do the same for UP, so the callback is run in the same environment on both
UP and SMP.  (strictly it should do preempt_disable() too, but I think
local_irq_disable is sufficiently equivalent).

Also uninlines on_each_cpu().  softirq.c was the most appropriate file I could
find, but it doesn't seem to justify creating a new file.

Oh, and fix up that comment over (under?) x86's smp_call_function().  It

[PATCH] slab: Remove SLAB_NO_REAP option

SLAB_NO_REAP is documented as an option that will cause this slab not to be
reaped under memory pressure.  However, that is not what happens.  The only
thing that SLAB_NO_REAP controls at the moment is the reclaim of the unused
slab elements that were allocated in batch in cache_reap().  Cache_reap()
is run every few seconds independently of memory pressure.

Could we remove the whole thing?  Its only used by three slabs anyways and
I cannot find a reason for having this option.

There is an additional problem with SLAB_NO_REAP.  If set then the recovery
of objects from alien caches is switched off.  Objects not freed on the
same node where they were initially allocated will only be reused if a
certain amount of objects accumulates from one alien node (not very likely)
or if the cache is explicitly shrunk.  (Strangely __cache_shrink does not
check for SLAB_NO_REAP)

Getting rid of SLAB_NO_REAP fixes the problems with alien cache freeing.

The VM has an interesting race where a page refcount can drop to zero, but it
is still on the LRU lists for a short time.  This was solved by testing a 0->1

refcount in that case.

Instead, use atomic_add_unless to ensure we never pick up a 0 refcount page
from the LRU, thus a 0 refcount page will never have its refcount elevated
until it is allocated again.

[PATCH] v9fs: assign dentry ops to negative dentries

If a file is not found in v9fs_vfs_lookup, the function creates negative
dentry, but doesn't assign any dentry ops.  This leaves the negative entry
in the cache (there is no d_delete to mark it for removal).  If the file is
created outside of the mounted v9fs filesystem, the file shows up in the
directory with weird permissions.

This patch assigns the default v9fs dentry ops to the negative dentry.

[PATCH] sched: remove sleep_avg multiplier

Remove the sleep_avg multiplier.  This multiplier was necessary back when
we had 10 seconds of dynamic range in sleep_avg, but now that we only have
one second, it causes that one second to be compressed down to 100ms in
some cases.  This is particularly noticeable when compiling a kernel in a
slow NFS mount, and I believe it to be a very likely candidate for other
recently reported network related interactivity problems.

In testing, I can detect no negative impact of this removal.
