Fix the SELinux mprotect checks on executable mappings so that they are not re-applied when the mapping is already executable as well as cleaning up the code.

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 The optimization was originally made by Balbir Singh with more improvements from Steven Rostedt.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.

I noticed the code for index_of is a creative way of finding the cache index using the compiler to optimize to a single hard coded number. But I couldn't help noticing that it uses two methods to let you know that someone used it wrong. One is at compile time (the correct way), and the other is at run time (not good).

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).

Add direct migration support with fall back to swap. Direct migration support on top of the swap based page migration facility. This allows the direct migration of anonymous pages and the migration of file backed pages by dropping the associated buffers (requires writeout). Fall back to swap out if necessary. The patch is based on lots of patches from the hotplug project but the code was restructured, documented and simplified as much as possible. Note that an additional patch that defines the migrate_page() method for filesystems is necessary in order to avoid writeback for anonymous and file backed pages.

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 found by Don Dupuis.

Improve the performance of slab_put_obj(). Without the cast, gcc considers ptrdiff_t a 64 bit signed integer and ends up emitting code to use a full signed 128 bit divide on EM64T, which is substantially slower than a 32 bit unsigned divide.
