xen/mmu: Use Xen specific TLB flush instead of the generic one.

2012-10-31T16:38:31Z

As Mukesh explained it, the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_ALL allows the hypervisor to do a TLB flush on all active vCPUs. If instead we were using the generic one (which ends up being xen_flush_tlb) we end up making the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_LOCAL hypercall. But before we make that hypercall the kernel will IPI all of the vCPUs (even those that were asleep from the hypervisor perspective). The end result is that we needlessly wake them up and do a TLB flush when we can just let the hypervisor do it correctly. This patch gives around 50% speed improvement when migrating idle guest's from one host to another.

mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD

2012-10-09T07:22:15Z

When transparent huge pages were introduced, memory compaction and swap storms were an issue, and the kernel had to be careful to not make THP allocations cause pageout or compaction. Now that we have working compaction deferral, kswapd is smart enough to invoke compaction and the quadratic behaviour around isolate_free_pages has been fixed, it should be safe to remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD.

Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o: "The big new feature added this time is supporting online resizing using the meta_bg feature. This allows us to resize file systems which are greater than 16TB. In addition, the speed of online resizing has been improved in general. We also fix a number of races, some of which could lead to deadlocks, in ext4's Asynchronous I/O and online defrag support, thanks to good work by Dmitry Monakhov. There are also a large number of more minor bug fixes and cleanups from a number of other ext4 contributors, quite of few of which have submitted fixes for the first time." * tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4: (69 commits) ext4: fix ext4_flush_completed_IO wait semantics ext4: fix mtime update in nodelalloc mode ext4: fix ext_remove_space for punch_hole case ext4: punch_hole should wait for DIO writers ext4: serialize truncate with owerwrite DIO workers ext4: endless truncate due to nonlocked dio readers ext4: serialize unlocked dio reads with truncate ext4: serialize dio nonlocked reads with defrag workers ext4: completed_io locking cleanup ext4: fix unwritten counter leakage ext4: give i_aiodio_unwritten a more appropriate name ext4: ext4_inode_info diet ext4: convert to use leXX_add_cpu() ext4: ext4_bread usage audit fs: reserve fallocate flag codepoint ext4: remove redundant offset check in mext_check_arguments() ext4: don't clear orphan list on ro mount with errors jbd2: fix assertion failure in commit code due to lacking transaction credits ext4: release donor reference when EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl fails ext4: enable FITRIM ioctl on bigalloc file system ...

tracing: Don't call page_to_pfn() if page is NULL

When allocating memory fails, page is NULL. page_to_pfn() will cause the kernel panicked if we don't use sparsemem vmemmap.
