The ptrace_get_task_struct() helper that I added as part of the ptrace
consolidation is useful in variety of places that currently opencode it.
Switch them to the common helpers.

Add a ptrace_traceme() helper that needs to be explicitly called, and simplify
the ptrace_get_task_struct() interface.  We don't need the request argument
now, and we return the task_struct directly, using ERR_PTR() for error
returns.  It's a bit more code in the callers, but we have two sane routines
that do one thing well now.

This patch adds a mandatory fileops param to relayfs_create_file() and exports
that function so that clients can use it to create files defined by their own
set of file operations, in relayfs.  The purpose is to allow relayfs
applications to create their own set of 'control' files alongside their relay
files in relayfs rather than having to create them in /proc or debugfs for
instance.  relayfs_create_file() is also used by relay_open_buf() to create
the relay files for a channel.  In this case, a pointer to
relayfs_file_operations is passed in, along with a pointer to the buffer
associated with the file.

The patch series implementa or fixes 3 things that were specifically requested
or suggested by relayfs users:

- support for non-relay files (patches 1-6)

Currently, the relayfs API only supports the creation of directories
(relayfs_create_dir()) and relay files (relay_open()).  These patches adds
support for non-relay files (relayfs_create_file()).  This is so relayfs
applications can create 'control files' in relayfs itself rather than in /proc
or via a netlink channel, as is currently done in the relay-app examples.
Basically what this amounts to is exporting relayfs_create_file() with an
additional file_ops param that clients can use to supply file operations for
their own special-purpose files in relayfs.

- make exported relay file ops useful (patches 7-8)

The relayfs relay_file_operations have always been exported, the intent being
to make it possible to create relay files in other filesystems such as
debugfs.  The problem, though, is that currently the file operations are too
tightly coupled to relayfs to actually be used for this purpose.  This patch
fixes that by adding a couple of callback functions that allow a client to
hook into relay_open()/close() and supply the files that will be used to
represent the channel buffers; the default implementation if no callbacks are
defined is to create the files in relayfs.

- add an option to create global relay buffer (patches 9-10) The file creation
callback also supplies an optional param, is_global, that can be used by
clients to create a single global relayfs buffer instead of the default
per-cpu buffers.  This was suggested as being useful for certain debugging
applications where it's more convenient to be able to get all the data from a
single channel without having to go to the bother of dealing with per-cpu
files.

- cleanup, some renaming and Documentation updates (patches 11-12)

There were several comments that the use of netlink in the example code was
non-intuitive and in fact the whole relay-app business was needlessly
confusing.  Based on that feedback, the example code has been completely
converted over to relayfs control files as supported by this patch, and have
also been made completely self-contained.

The converted examples along with a couple of new examples that demonstrate
using exported relay files can be found in relay-apps tarball:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/relayfs/relay-apps-0.9.tar.gz?download

This patch:

Separate buffer create/destroy from inode create/destroy.  We want to be able
to associate other data and not just relay buffers with inodes.  Buffer
create/destroy is moved out of inode.c and into relayfs core code.

This patch add EXPORT_SYMBOL(filemap_write_and_wait) and use it.

See mm/filemap.c:

And changes the filemap_write_and_wait() and filemap_write_and_wait_range().

Current filemap_write_and_wait() doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite()
returns error.  However, even if filemap_fdatawrite() returned an
error, it may have submitted the partially data pages to the device.
(e.g. in the case of -ENOSPC)

<quotation>
Andrew Morton writes,

If filemap_fdatawrite() returns an error, this might be due to some
I/O problem: dead disk, unplugged cable, etc.  Given the generally
crappy quality of the kernel's handling of such exceptions, there's a
good chance that the filemap_fdatawait() will get stuck in D state
forever.
</quotation>

So, this patch doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite() returns the -EIO.

Trond, could you please review the nfs part?  Especially I'm not sure,
nfs must use the "filemap_fdatawrite(inode->i_mapping) == 0", or not.

This patch changes generic_cont_expand(), in order to share the code
with fatfs.

  - Use vmtruncate() if ->prepare_write() returns a error.

Even if ->prepare_write() returns an error, it may already have added some
blocks.  So, this truncates blocks outside of ->i_size by vmtruncate().

  - Add generic_cont_expand_simple().

The generic_cont_expand_simple() assumes that ->prepare_write() can handle
the block boundary.  With this, we don't need to care the extra byte.

And for expanding a file size by truncate(), fatfs uses the
added generic_cont_expand_simple().

Some ARM platforms have the ability to program the interrupt controller to
detect various interrupt edges and/or levels.  For some platforms, this is
critical to setup correctly, particularly those which the setting is dependent
on the device.

Currently, ARM drivers do (eg) the following:

	err = request_irq(irq, ...);

	set_irq_type(irq, IRQT_RISING);

However, if the interrupt has previously been programmed to be level sensitive
(for whatever reason) then this will cause an interrupt storm.

Hence, if we combine set_irq_type() with request_irq(), we can then safely set
the type prior to unmasking the interrupt.  The unfortunate problem is that in
order to support this, these flags need to be visible outside of the ARM
architecture - drivers such as smc91x need these flags and they're
cross-architecture.

Finally, the SA_TRIGGER_* flag passed to request_irq() should reflect the
property that the device would like.  The IRQ controller code should do its
best to select the most appropriate supported mode.

For systems that aren't using cpusets, but have them CONFIG_CPUSET enabled in
their kernel (eventually this may be most distribution kernels), this patch
removes even the minimal rcu_read_lock() from the memory page allocation path.

Actually, it removes that rcu call for any task that is in the root cpuset
(top_cpuset), which on systems not actively using cpusets, is all tasks.

We don't need the rcu check for tasks in the top_cpuset, because the
top_cpuset is statically allocated, so at no risk of being freed out from
underneath us.

Mark cpuset global 'number_of_cpusets' as __read_mostly.

This global is accessed everytime a zone is considered in the zonelist loops
beneath __alloc_pages, looking for a free memory page.  If number_of_cpusets
is just one, then we can short circuit the mems_allowed check.

Since this global is read alot on a hot path, and written rarely, it is an
excellent candidate for __read_mostly.

Optimize the cpuset impact on page allocation, the most performance critical
cpuset hook in the kernel.

On each page allocation, the cpuset hook needs to check for a possible change
in the current tasks cpuset.  It can now handle the common case, of no change,
without taking any spinlock or semaphore, thanks to RCU.

Convert a spinlock on the current task to an rcu_read_lock(), saving
approximately a memory barrier and an atomic op, depending on architecture.

This is done by adding rcu_assign_pointer() and synchronize_rcu() calls to the
write side of the task->cpuset pointer, in cpuset.c:attach_task(), to delay
freeing up a detached cpuset until after any critical sections referencing
that pointer.

Remove a couple of more lines of code from the cpuset hooks in the page
allocation code path.

There was a check for a NULL cpuset pointer in the routine
cpuset_update_task_memory_state() that was only needed during system boot,
after the memory subsystem was initialized, before the cpuset subsystem was
initialized, to catch a NULL task->cpuset pointer.

Add a cpuset_init_early() routine, just before the mem_init() call in
init/main.c, that sets up just enough of the init tasks cpuset structure to
render cpuset_update_task_memory_state() calls harmless.

Given the mechanism in the previous patch to handle rebinding the per-vma
mempolicies of all tasks in a cpuset that changes its memory placement, it is
now easier to handle the page migration requirements of such tasks at the same
time.

The previous code didn't actually attempt to migrate the pages of the tasks in
a cpuset whose memory placement changed until the next time each such task
tried to allocate memory.  This was undesirable, as users invoking memory page
migration exected to happen when the placement changed, not some unspecified
time later when the task needed more memory.

It is now trivial to handle the page migration at the same time as the per-vma
rebinding is done.

The routine cpuset.c:update_nodemask(), which handles changing a cpusets
memory placement ('mems') now checks for the special case of being asked to
write a placement that is the same as before.  It was harmless enough before
to just recompute everything again, even though nothing had changed.  But page
migration is a heavy weight operation - moving pages about.  So now it is
worth avoiding that if asked to move a cpuset to its current location.
