cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node()

Jack Steiner fixed a problem with too many small tasks being
assigned to node 0. Copy his code to ia64 to avoid build error.

numa: ia64: use generic percpu var numa_node_id() implementation

Lee Schermerhorn added some set_numa_node() calls - but these
only work on CONFIG_NUMA=y configurations. Surround the calls
with #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA

Kamezawa Hiroyuki requested documentation for the numa_mem_id() and slab
related changes.  He suggested Documentation/vm/numa for this
documentation.  Looking at this file, it seems to me to be hopelessly out
of date relative to current Linux NUMA support.  At the risk of going down
a rathole, I have made an attempt to rewrite the doc at a slightly higher
level [I think] and provide pointers to other in-tree documents and
out-of-tree man pages that cover the details.

Let the games begin.

Example usage of generic "numa_mem_id()":

The mainline slab code, since ~ 2.6.19, does not handle memoryless nodes
well.  Specifically, the "fast path"--____cache_alloc()--will never
succeed as slab doesn't cache offnode object on the per cpu queues, and
for memoryless nodes, all memory will be "off node" relative to
numa_node_id().  This adds significant overhead to all kmem cache
allocations, incurring a significant regression relative to earlier
kernels [from before slab.c was reorganized].

This patch uses the generic topology function "numa_mem_id()" to return
the "effective local memory node" for the calling context.  This is the
first node in the local node's generic fallback zonelist-- the same node
that "local" mempolicy-based allocations would use.  This lets slab cache
these "local" allocations and avoid fallback/refill on every allocation.

N.B.: Slab will need to handle node and memory hotplug events that could
change the value returned by numa_mem_id() for any given node if recent
changes to address memory hotplug don't already address this.  E.g., flush
all per cpu slab queues before rebuilding the zonelists while the
"machine" is held in the stopped state.

Performance impact on "hackbench 400 process 200"

2.6.34-rc3-mmotm-100405-1609		no-patch	this-patch
ia64 no memoryless nodes [avg of 10]:     11.713       11.637  ~0.65 diff
ia64 cpus all on memless nodes  [10]:    228.259       26.484  ~8.6x speedup

The slowdown of the patched kernel from ~12 sec to ~28 seconds when
configured with memoryless nodes is the result of all cpus allocating from
a single node's mm pagepool.  The cache lines of the single node are
distributed/interleaved over the memory of the real physical nodes, but
the zone lock, list heads, ...  of the single node with memory still each
live in a single cache line that is accessed from all processors.

Introduce numa_mem_id(), based on generic percpu variable infrastructure
to track "nearest node with memory" for archs that support memoryless
nodes.

Define API in <linux/topology.h> when CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES
defined, else stubs.  Architectures will define HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES
if/when they support them.

Archs can override definitions of:

numa_mem_id() - returns node number of "local memory" node
set_numa_mem() - initialize [this cpus'] per cpu variable 'numa_mem'
cpu_to_mem()  - return numa_mem for specified cpu; may be used as lvalue

Generic initialization of 'numa_mem' occurs in __build_all_zonelists().
This will initialize the boot cpu at boot time, and all cpus on change of
numa_zonelist_order, or when node or memory hot-plug requires zonelist
rebuild.  Archs that support memoryless nodes will need to initialize
'numa_mem' for secondary cpus as they're brought on-line.

Rework the generic version of the numa_node_id() function to use the new
generic percpu variable infrastructure.

Guard the new implementation with a new config option:

        CONFIG_USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID.

Archs which support this new implemention will default this option to 'y'
when NUMA is configured.  This config option could be removed if/when all
archs switch over to the generic percpu implementation of numa_node_id().
Arch support involves:

  1) converting any existing per cpu variable implementations to use
     this implementation.  x86_64 is an instance of such an arch.
  2) archs that don't use a per cpu variable for numa_node_id() will
     need to initialize the new per cpu variable "numa_node" as cpus
     are brought on-line.  ia64 is an example.
  3) Defining USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID in arch dependent Kconfig--e.g.,
     when NUMA is configured.  This is required because I have
     retained the old implementation by default to allow archs to
     be modified incrementally, as desired.

Subsequent patches will convert x86_64 and ia64 to use this implemenation.

The inode's i_size is not protected by the big kernel lock.  Therefore it
does not make sense to recommend taking the BKL in filesystems llseek

i_size_read() instead.  Add a note that this is not protecting

Do not use the fallback default_llseek() if the readdir operation of the
filesystem still uses the big kernel lock.

Since llseek() modifies
file->f_pos of the directory directly it may need locking to not confuse
readdir which usually uses file->f_pos directly as well

Since the special characteristics of the BKL (unlocked on schedule) are
not necessary in this case, the inode mutex can be used for locking as
provided by generic_file_llseek().  This is only possible since all
filesystems, except reiserfs, either use a directory as a flat file or
with disk address offsets.  Reiserfs on the other hand uses a 32bit hash
off the filename as the offset so generic_file_llseek() can get used as
well since the hash is always smaller than sb->s_maxbytes (= (512 << 32) -
blocksize).

call lseek on tapes and bail out if that fails.  So we disallow pread()
and pwrite(), but permit lseeks."

Instead of using the fallback default_llseek() the driver should use
noop_llseek() which leaves the file->f_pos untouched but succeeds.

Instead of using the fallback default_llseek() the driver should use
noop_llseek() which leaves the file->f_pos untouched but succeeds.

This is an implementation of ->llseek useable for the rare special case
when userspace expects the seek to succeed but the (device) file is
actually not able to perform the seek.  In this case you use noop_llseek()
instead of falling back to the default implementation of ->llseek.

Use nonseekable_open() for this since seeking is not supported anyway.

This test is not doing anything since it is always false if the
mISDN_read() is called from vfs_read().  Besides that the driver uses
nonseekable_open() and is not using off or file->f_pos anywhere.

osst_read()/osst_write() modify file->f_pos directly instead of the ppos
given to them.  The VFS later updates the file->f_pos and overwrites it
with the value of ppos.

parisc uses iova and iova_length in scatterlist structure instead of
dma_address and dma_length.  However, the accessor are used so we can
convert parisc to use asm-generic/scatterlist.h easily.
