fs: bump inode and dentry counters to long

This series reworks our current object cache shrinking infrastructure in
two main ways:

 * Noticing that a lot of users copy and paste their own version of LRU
   lists for objects, we put some effort in providing a generic version.
   It is modeled after the filesystem users: dentries, inodes, and xfs
   (for various tasks), but we expect that other users could benefit in
   the near future with little or no modification.  Let us know if you
   have any issues.

 * The underlying list_lru being proposed automatically and
   transparently keeps the elements in per-node lists, and is able to
   manipulate the node lists individually.  Given this infrastructure, we
   are able to modify the up-to-now hammer called shrink_slab to proceed
   with node-reclaim instead of always searching memory from all over like
   it has been doing.

Per-node lru lists are also expected to lead to less contention in the lru
locks on multi-node scans, since we are now no longer fighting for a
global lock.  The locks usually disappear from the profilers with this
change.

Although we have no official benchmarks for this version - be our guest to
independently evaluate this - earlier versions of this series were
performance tested (details at
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/100537) yielding no
visible performance regressions while yielding a better qualitative
behavior in NUMA machines.

With this infrastructure in place, we can use the list_lru entry point to
provide memcg isolation and per-memcg targeted reclaim.  Historically,
those two pieces of work have been posted together.  This version presents
only the infrastructure work, deferring the memcg work for a later time,
so we can focus on getting this part tested.  You can see more about the
history of such work at http://lwn.net/Articles/552769/

Dave Chinner (18):
  dcache: convert dentry_stat.nr_unused to per-cpu counters
  dentry: move to per-sb LRU locks
  dcache: remove dentries from LRU before putting on dispose list
  mm: new shrinker API
  shrinker: convert superblock shrinkers to new API
  list: add a new LRU list type
  inode: convert inode lru list to generic lru list code.
  dcache: convert to use new lru list infrastructure
  list_lru: per-node list infrastructure
  shrinker: add node awareness
  fs: convert inode and dentry shrinking to be node aware
  xfs: convert buftarg LRU to generic code
  xfs: rework buffer dispose list tracking
  xfs: convert dquot cache lru to list_lru
  fs: convert fs shrinkers to new scan/count API
  drivers: convert shrinkers to new count/scan API
  shrinker: convert remaining shrinkers to count/scan API
  shrinker: Kill old ->shrink API.

Glauber Costa (7):
  fs: bump inode and dentry counters to long
  super: fix calculation of shrinkable objects for small numbers
  list_lru: per-node API
  vmscan: per-node deferred work
  i915: bail out earlier when shrinker cannot acquire mutex
  hugepage: convert huge zero page shrinker to new shrinker API
  list_lru: dynamically adjust node arrays

This patch:

There are situations in very large machines in which we can have a large
quantity of dirty inodes, unused dentries, etc.  This is particularly true
when umounting a filesystem, where eventually since every live object will
eventually be discarded.

Dave Chinner reported a problem with this while experimenting with the
shrinker revamp patchset.  So we believe it is time for a change.  This
patch just moves int to longs.  Machines where it matters should have a
big long anyway.
