mm_take_all_locks holds off reclaim from an entire mm_struct. This allows
mmu notifiers to register into the mm at any time with the guarantee that
no mmu operation is in progress on the mm.
This operation locks against the VM for all pte/vma/mm related operations
that could ever happen on a certain mm. This includes vmtruncate,
try_to_unmap, and all page faults.
The caller must take the mmap_sem in write mode before calling
mm_take_all_locks(). The caller isn't allowed to release the mmap_sem
until mm_drop_all_locks() returns.
mmap_sem in write mode is required in order to block all operations that
could modify pagetables and free pages without need of altering the vma
layout (for example populate_range() with nonlinear vmas). It's also
needed in write mode to avoid new anon_vmas to be associated with existing
vmas.
A single task can't take more than one mm_take_all_locks() in a row or it
would deadlock.
mm_take_all_locks() and mm_drop_all_locks are expensive operations that
may have to take thousand of locks.
mm_take_all_locks() can fail if it's interrupted by signals.
When mmu_notifier_register returns, we must be sure that the driver is
notified if some task is in the middle of a vmtruncate for the 'mm' where
the mmu notifier was registered (mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end
is run around the vmtruncation but mmu_notifier_register can run after
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and before
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end). Same problem for rmap paths. And
we've to remove page pinning to avoid replicating the tlb_gather logic
inside KVM (and GRU doesn't work well with page pinning regardless of
needing tlb_gather), so without mm_take_all_locks when vmtruncate frees
the page, kvm would have no way to notice that it mapped into sptes a page
that is going into the freelist without a chance of any further
mmu_notifier notification.

SuSE's insserve initscript ordering program hits kernel BUG at mm/shmem.c:814
on 2.6.26. It's using posix_fadvise on directories, and the shmem_readpage
method added in 2.6.23 is letting POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED allocate useless pages
to a tmpfs directory, incrementing i_blocks count but never decrementing it.
Fix this by assigning shmem_aops (pointing to readpage and writepage and
set_page_dirty) only when it's needed, on a regular file or a long symlink.
Many thanks to Kel for outstanding bugreport and steps to reproduce it.

Clean up and optimize cpumask_of_cpu(), by sharing all the zero words.
Instead of stupidly generating all possible i=0...NR_CPUS 2^i patterns
creating a huge array of constant bitmasks, realize that the zero words
can be shared.
In other words, on a 64-bit architecture, we only ever need 64 of these
arrays - with a different bit set in one single world (with enough zero
words around it so that we can create any bitmask by just offsetting in
that big array). And then we just put enough zeroes around it that we
can point every single cpumask to be one of those things.
So when we have 4k CPU's, instead of having 4k arrays (of 4k bits each,
with one bit set in each array - 2MB memory total), we have exactly 64
arrays instead, each 8k bits in size (64kB total).
And then we just point cpumask(n) to the right position (which we can
calculate dynamically). Once we have the right arrays, getting
"cpumask(n)" ends up being:
static inline const cpumask_t *get_cpu_mask(unsigned int cpu)
{
const unsigned long *p = cpu_bit_bitmap[1 + cpu % BITS_PER_LONG];
p -= cpu / BITS_PER_LONG;
return (const cpumask_t *)p;
}
This brings other advantages and simplifications as well:
- we are not wasting memory that is just filled with a single bit in
various different places
- we don't need all those games to re-create the arrays in some dense
format, because they're already going to be dense enough.
if we compile a kernel for up to 4k CPU's, "wasting" that 64kB of memory
is a non-issue (especially since by doing this "overlapping" trick we
probably get better cache behaviour anyway).

out the bits where Linus calls me an idio... Oh, never mind ;-)

pm_idle_save resp. pm_idle_old can be NULL when the restore code in
acpi_processor_cst_has_changed() resp. cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler()
is called. This can set pm_idle unconditinally to NULL, which causes the
kernel to panic when calling pm_idle in the x86 idle code. This was
covered by an extra check for !pm_idle in the x86 idle code, which was
removed during the x86 idle code refactoring.
Instead of restoring the pm_idle check in the x86 code prevent the
acpi/cpuidle code to set pm_idle to NULL.

ipwireless: Increase PPP outgoing queue size
Increase default size of PPP outgoing queue. Currently set to 1, which
means that a packet quickly following another pushed by PPP must wait
until hardware actually sends the previous and PPP has to be waken up
by ppp_wakeup(). This slows down upstream.
Now PPP can push more packets at once which get buffered inside driver
and pushed immediatelly to hardware when previous packet is out.
Experiments show that size = 10 is quite good for all connection types
(GPRS/EDGE/UMTS) and gains 4 KB/sec of upload for UMTS for batch uploads.
Need for higher queue size than 10 occures in only < 0.1 % of cases.

ipwireless: Do not return value from sending funcs
Do not return value from do_send_fragment and do_send_packet, it's not used.
The packet size checks are not useful too:
* zero length packet will never be sent, caller always passes packet_header
size which is either 1 or 3
* MTU check is done in caller, no need to repeat
