Clean up cache_estimate() in mm/slab.c and improves the algorithm from O(n) to
O(1).  We first calculate the maximum number of objects a slab can hold after
struct slab and kmem_bufctl_t for each object has been given enough space.
After that, to respect alignment rules, we decrease the number of objects if
necessary.  As required padding is at most align-1 and memory of obj_size is
at least align, it is always enough to decrease number of objects by one.

The optimization was originally made by Balbir Singh with more improvements
from Steven Rostedt.  Manfred Spraul provider further modifications: no loop
at all for the off-slab case and added comments to explain the background.

Migrate a page with buffers without requiring writeback

This introduces a new address space operation migratepage() that may be used
by a filesystem to implement its own version of page migration.

A version is provided that migrates buffers attached to pages.  Some
filesystems (ext2, ext3, xfs) are modified to utilize this feature.

The swapper address space operation are modified so that a regular
migrate_page() will occur for anonymous pages without writeback (migrate_pages
forces every anonymous page to have a swap entry).

The patch is based on lots of patches from the hotplug project but the code

Note that an additional patch that defines the migrate_page() method for

Check for PageSwapCache after looking up and locking a swap page.

The page migration code may change a swap pte to point to a different page
under lock_page().

If that happens then the vm must retry the lookup operation in the swap space
to find the correct page number.  There are a couple of locations in the VM
where a lock_page() is done on a swap page.  In these locations we need to
check afterwards if the page was migrated.  If the page was migrated then the
old page that was looked up before was freed and no longer has the
PageSwapCache bit set.

If large amounts of zone memory are used by empty slabs then zone_reclaim
becomes uneffective.  This patch shakes the slab a bit.

The problem with this patch is that the slab reclaim is not containable to a
zone.  Thus slab reclaim may affect the whole system and be extremely slow.
This also means that we cannot determine how many pages were freed in this
zone.  Thus we need to go off node for at least one allocation.

The functionality is disabled by default.

We could modify the shrinkers to take a zone parameter but that would be quite
invasive.  Better ideas are welcome.

In some situations one may want zone_reclaim to behave differently.  For
example a process writing large amounts of memory will spew unto other nodes
to cache the writes if many pages in a zone become dirty.  This may impact the
performance of processes running on other nodes.

Allowing writes during reclaim puts a stop to that behavior and throttles the
process by restricting the pages to the local zone.

Similarly one may want to contain processes to local memory by enabling
regular swap behavior during zone_reclaim.  Off node memory allocation can
then be controlled through memory policies and cpusets.

Currently the zone_reclaim code has a fixed window of 30 seconds of off node
allocations should a local zone have no unused pagecache pages left.  Reclaim
will be attempted again after this timeout period to avoid repeated useless
scans for memory.  This is also useful to established sufficiently large off
node allocation chunks to relieve the local node.

It may be beneficial to adjust that time period for some special situations.
For example if memory use was exceeding node capacity one may want to give up
for longer periods of time.  If memory spikes intermittendly then one may want
to shorten the time period to reduce the number of off node allocations.

This patch allows just that....

Instead of scanning all the pages in a zone, imitate real swap and scan
only a portion of the pages and gradually scan more if we do not free up
enough pages.  This avoids a zone suddenly loosing all unused pagecache
pages (we may after all access some of these again so they deserve another
chance) but it still frees up large chunks of memory if a zone only
contains unused pagecache pages.

2.6.15's hugepage faulting introduced huge_pages_needed accounting into
hugetlbfs: to count how many pages are already in cache, for spot check on
how far a new mapping may be allowed to extend the file.  But it's muddled:
each hugepage found covers HPAGE_SIZE, not PAGE_SIZE.  Once pages were
already in cache, it would overshoot, wrap its hugepages count backwards,
and so fail a harmless repeat mapping with -ENOMEM.  Fixes the problem
