When I looked at this issue https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/21/158, I found that frontswap_selfshrink() doesn't work as expected sometimes. Pages are continuously added to frontswap and gotten back soon. It's a waste of cpu time and increases the memory pressue of Guest OS. Take an example. First time in frontswap_selfshrink(): 1. last_frontswap_pages = cur_frontswap_pages = 0 2. cur_frontswap_pages = frontswap_curr_pages() = 100 When 'frontswap_inertia_counter' decreased to 0: 1. last_frontswap_pages = cur_frontswap_pages = 100 2. cur_frontswap_pages = frontswap_curr_pages() = 100 3. call frontswap_shrink() and let's assumption that 10 pages are gotten back from frontswap. 4. now frontswap_curr_pages() is 90. If then memory is not enough in Guest OS and 9 more pages(smaller than gotten back) added to frontswap. Now frontswap_curr_pages() is 99 and we don't expect to get back more pages from frontswap because geust os is under memory pressure. But next time in frontswap_selfshrink(): 1. last_frontswap_pages is set to the old value of cur_frontswap_pages(still 100) 2. cur_frontswap_pages(99) is still smaller than last_frontswap_pages. 3. call frontswap_shrink() and continue to get back pages from frontswap!!

Pull xfs fixes from Dave Chinner: "This is the first pull request I've had to do for you, so I'm still sorting things out. The reason I'm sending this and not Ben should be obvious from the first commit below - SGI has stepped down from the XFS maintainership role. As such, I'd like to take another opportunity to thank them for their many years of effort maintaining XFS and supporting the XFS community that they developed from the ground up. So I haven't had time to work things like signed tags into my workflows yet, so this is just a repo branch I'm asking you to pull from. And yes, I named the branch -rc4 because I wanted the fixes in rc4, not because the branch was for merging into -rc3. Probably not right, either. Anyway, I should have everything sorted out by the time the next merge window comes around. If there's anything that you don't like in the pull req, feel free to flame me unmercifully.

Pull devicetree fixes from Grant Likely: "Device tree compatible match order bug fix This branch contains a bug fix for the way devicetree code identifies the type of device. Device drivers can contain a list of of_device_ids, but it more than one entry will match, then the device driver may choose the wrong one. Commit 10535314, "match each node compatible against all given matches first", was queued for v3.14 but ended up causing other bugs. Commit 06b29e76 attempted to fix it but it had other bugs. Merely reverting the fix and waiting until v3.15 isn't a good option because there is code in v3.14 that depends on the revised behaviour to boot. This branch should finally fixes the problem correctly. This time instead of just hoping that the patch is correct, this branch also adds new testcases that validate the behaviour. The changes in this branch are larger than I would like for a -rc pull, but moving the test case data out of out of arch/arm so that it could be validated on other architectures was important" * tag 'dt-for-linus' of git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux: of: Add self test for of_match_node() of: Move testcase FDT data into drivers/of of: reimplement the matching method for __of_match_node() Revert "of: search the best compatible match first in __of_match_node()"

This patch updates the CBOX PMU filters mapping tables for SNB-EP and IVT (model 45 and 62 respectively). The NID umask always comes in addition to another umask. When set, the NID filter is applied.

The current code simply assumes Intel Arch PerfMon v2+ to have the IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES MSR; the SDM specifies that we should check CPUID[1].ECX[15] (aka, FEATURE_PDCM) instead. This was found by KVM which implements v2+ but didn't provide the capabilities MSR. Change the code to DTRT; KVM will also implement the MSR and return 0.

We're copying the on-stack structure to userspace, but forgot to give the right number of bytes to copy. This allows the calling process to obtain up to PAGE_SIZE bytes from the stack (and possibly adjacent kernel memory). This fix copies only as much as we actually have on the stack (attr->size defaults to the size of the struct) and leaves the rest of the userspace-provided buffer untouched.
