This patch provides a new macro

KMEM_CACHE(<struct>, <flags>)

to simplify slab creation. KMEM_CACHE creates a slab with the name of the
struct, with the size of the struct and with the alignment of the struct.
Additional slab flags may be specified if necessary.

Example

struct test_slab {
	int a,b,c;
	struct list_head;
} __cacheline_aligned_in_smp;

test_slab_cache = KMEM_CACHE(test_slab, SLAB_PANIC)

will create a new slab named "test_slab" of the size sizeof(struct
test_slab) and aligned to the alignment of test slab.  If it fails then we
panic.

Remove duplicate work in kill_bdev().

It currently invalidates and then truncates the bdev's mapping.
invalidate_mapping_pages() will opportunistically remove pages from the
mapping.  And truncate_inode_pages() will forcefully remove all pages.

The only thing truncate doesn't do is flush the bh lrus.  So do that
explicitly.  This avoids (very unlikely) but possible invalid lookup
results if the same bdev is quickly re-issued.

It also will prevent extreme kernel latencies which are observed when
blockdevs which have a large amount of pagecache are unmounted, by avoiding
invalidate_mapping_pages() on that path.  invalidate_mapping_pages() has no
cond_resched (it can be called under spinlock), whereas truncate_inode_pages()
has one.

If we add a new flag so that we can distinguish between the first page and the
tail pages then we can avoid to use page->private in the first page.
page->private == page for the first page, so there is no real information in
there.

Freeing up page->private makes the use of compound pages more transparent.
They become more usable like real pages.  Right now we have to be careful f.e.
 if we are going beyond PAGE_SIZE allocations in the slab on i386 because we
can then no longer use the private field.  This is one of the issues that
cause us not to support debugging for page size slabs in SLAB.

Having page->private available for SLUB would allow more meta information in
the page struct.  I can probably avoid the 16 bit ints that I have in there
right now.

Also if page->private is available then a compound page may be equipped with
buffer heads.  This may free up the way for filesystems to support larger
blocks than page size.

We add PageTail as an alias of PageReclaim.  Compound pages cannot currently
be reclaimed.  Because of the alias one needs to check PageCompound first.

The RFC for the this approach was discussed at

Adds /proc/pid/clear_refs.  When any non-zero number is written to this file,
pte_mkold() and ClearPageReferenced() is called for each pte and its
corresponding page, respectively, in that task's VMAs.  This file is only
writable by the user who owns the task.

It is now possible to measure _approximately_ how much memory a task is using
by clearing the reference bits with

	echo 1 > /proc/pid/clear_refs

and checking the reference count for each VMA from the /proc/pid/smaps output
at a measured time interval.  For example, to observe the approximate change
in memory footprint for a task, write a script that clears the references
(echo 1 > /proc/pid/clear_refs), sleeps, and then greps for Pgs_Referenced and
extracts the size in kB.  Add the sizes for each VMA together for the total
referenced footprint.  Moments later, repeat the process and observe the
difference.

For example, using an efficient Mozilla:

	accumulated time		referenced memory
	----------------		-----------------
		 0 s				 408 kB
		 1 s				 408 kB
		 2 s				 556 kB
		 3 s				1028 kB
		 4 s				 872 kB
		 5 s				1956 kB
		 6 s				 416 kB
		 7 s				1560 kB
		 8 s				2336 kB
		 9 s				1044 kB
		10 s				 416 kB

This is a valuable tool to get an approximate measurement of the memory
footprint for a task.

Adds an additional unsigned long field to struct mem_size_stats called
'referenced'.  For each pte walked in the smaps code, this field is
incremented by PAGE_SIZE if it has pte-reference bits.

An additional line was added to the /proc/pid/smaps output for each VMA to
indicate how many pages within it are currently marked as referenced or
accessed.

Extracts the pmd walker from smaps-specific code in fs/proc/task_mmu.c.

The new struct pmd_walker includes the struct vm_area_struct of the memory to
walk over.  Iteration begins at the vma->vm_start and completes at
vma->vm_end.  A pointer to another data structure may be stored in the private
field such as struct mem_size_stats, which acts as the smaps accumulator.  For
each pmd in the VMA, the action function is called with a pointer to its
struct vm_area_struct, a pointer to the pmd_t, its start and end addresses,
and the private field.

The interface for walking pmd's in a VMA for fs/proc/task_mmu.c is now:

	void for_each_pmd(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
			  void (*action)(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
					 pmd_t *pmd, unsigned long addr,
					 unsigned long end,
					 void *private),
			  void *private);

Since the pmd walker is now extracted from the smaps code, smaps_one_pmd() is
invoked for each pmd in the VMA.  Its behavior and efficiency is identical to
the existing implementation.

__block_write_full_page is calling SetPageUptodate without the page locked.
This is unusual, but not incorrect, as PG_writeback is still set.

However the next patch will require that SetPageUptodate always be called with
the page locked.  Simply don't bother setting the page uptodate in this case
(it is unusual that the write path does such a thing anyway).  Instead just
leave it to the read side to bring the page uptodate when it notices that all
buffers are uptodate.

Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.

I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in
ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in
block2mtd.  All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return
with a !uptodate page.

We had a customer report that attempting to make CIFS mount with a null
username (i.e. doing an anonymous mount) doesn't work. Looking through the
code, it looks like CIFS expects a NULL username from userspace in order
to trigger an anonymous mount. The mount.cifs code doesn't seem to ever
pass a null username to the kernel, however.

It looks also like the kernel can take a sec=none option, but it only seems
to look at it if the username is already NULL. This seems redundant and
effectively makes sec=none useless.

The following patch makes sec=none force an anonymous mount.

The recent change to "allow Windows blocking locks to be cancelled via a

lock_sem.  However, semaphores used as mutexes are deprecated these days,
and there's no reason to add a new one to the kernel.  Therefore, convert
lock_sem to a struct mutex (and also fix one indentation glitch on one of
