      memcg: take reference before releasing rcu_read_lock · ca0dde97
      Li Zefan authored 
      The memcg is not referenced, so it can be destroyed at anytime right
after we exit rcu read section, so it's not safe to access it.

To fix this, we call css_tryget() to get a reference while we're still
in rcu read section.

This also removes a bogus comment above __memcg_create_cache_enqueue().

      mem hotunplug: fix kfree() of bootmem memory · ebff7d8f

      When hot removing memory presented at boot time, following messages are shown:

The reason why the messages are shown is to release a resource
structure, allocated by bootmem, by kfree().  So when we release a
resource structure, we should check whether it is allocated by bootmem
or not.

But even if we know a resource structure is allocated by bootmem, we
cannot release it since SLxB cannot treat it.  So for reusing a resource
structure, this patch remembers it by using bootmem_resource as follows:

When releasing a resource structure by free_resource(), free_resource()
checks whether the resource structure is allocated by bootmem or not.
If it is allocated by bootmem, free_resource() adds it to
bootmem_resource.  If it is not allocated by bootmem, free_resource()
release it by kfree().

And when getting a new resource structure by get_resource(),
get_resource() checks whether bootmem_resource has released resource
structures or not.  If there is a released resource structure,
get_resource() returns it.  If there is not a releaed resource
structure, get_resource() returns new resource structure allocated by
kzalloc().

      mmKconfig: add an option to disable bounce · 9ca24e2e
      Vinayak Menon authored 
      There are times when HIGHMEM is enabled, but we don't prefer
CONFIG_BOUNCE to be enabled.  CONFIG_BOUNCE can reduce the block device
throughput, and this is not ideal for machines where we don't gain much
by enabling it.  So provide an option to deselect CONFIG_BOUNCE.  The
observation was made while measuring eMMC throughput using iozone on an
ARM device with 1GB RAM.

      mm, nobootmem: do memset() after memblock_reserve() · b476e295
      Joonsoo Kim authored 
      Currently, we do memset() before reserving the area.  This may not cause
any problem, but it is somewhat weird.  So change execution order.
