      Merge slub bulk allocator updates from Andrew Morton:
       "This missed the merge window because I was waiting for some repairs to
        come in.  Nothing actually uses the bulk allocator yet and the changes
        to other code paths are pretty small.  And the net guys are waiting
        for this so they can start merging the client code"
      
      More comments from Jesper Dangaard Brouer:
       "The kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() call, in mm/slub.c, were included in
        previous kernel.  The present version contains a bug.  Vladimir
        Davydov noticed it contained a bug, when kernel is compiled with
        CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM (see commit 03ec0ed5: "slub: fix kmem cgroup
        bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk").  Plus the mem cgroup counterpart in
        kmem_cache_free_bulk() were missing (see commit 03374518 "slub:
        add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk").
      
        I don't consider the fix stable-material because there are no in-tree
        users of the API.
      
        But with known bugs (for memcg) I cannot start using the API in the
        net-tree"

      Pull parisc update from Helge Deller:
       "This patchset adds Huge Page and HUGETLBFS support for parisc"
      
      Honestly, the hugepage support should have gone through in the merge
      window, and is not really an rc-time fix.  But it only touches
      arch/parisc, and I cannot find it in myself to care.  If one of the
      three parisc users notices a breakage, I will point at Helge and make
      rude farting noises.

      slab/slub: adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API · 865762a8
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored
      Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users.
      
      Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'.  This
      is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API.
      
      A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when
      specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects.
      
      The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc
      run without local IRQs disabled.  With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing"
      the entire c->freelist or page->freelist.  To avoid overshooting we would
      stop processing at a slab-page boundary.  Else we always end up returning
      some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg.
      
      To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older
      kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated
      objects with this API change.

      slub: add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk · 03374518
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored
      Initial implementation missed support for kmem cgroup support in
      kmem_cache_free_bulk() call, add this.
      
      If CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled, the compiler should be smart enough
      to not add any asm code.
      
      Incoming bulk free objects can belong to different kmem cgroups, and
      object free call can happen at a later point outside memcg context.  Thus,
      we need to keep the orig kmem_cache, to correctly verify if a memcg object
      match against its "root_cache" (s->memcg_params.root_cache).
