      [PATCH] shrink_list(): skip anon pages if not may_swap · c340010e
      Lee Schermerhorn authored 
      Martin Hicks' page cache reclaim patch added the 'may_swap' flag to the
scan_control struct; and modified shrink_list() not to add anon pages to
the swap cache if may_swap is not asserted.

Ref:  http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=111461480725322&w=4

However, further down, if the page is mapped, shrink_list() calls
try_to_unmap() which will call try_to_unmap_one() via try_to_unmap_anon ().
 try_to_unmap_one() will BUG_ON() an anon page that is NOT in the swap
cache.  Martin says he never encountered this path in his testing, but
agrees that it might happen.

This patch modifies shrink_list() to skip anon pages that are not already
in the swap cache when !may_swap, rather than just not adding them to the
cache.

      OGAWA Hirofumi authored 
      This is not problem actually, but sync_page_range() is using for exported
function to filesystems.

The msync_xxx is more readable at least to me.

      [PATCH] Convert mempolicies to nodemask_t · dfcd3c0d
      Andi Kleen authored 
      The NUMA policy code predated nodemask_t so it used open coded bitmaps.
Convert everything to nodemask_t.  Big patch, but shouldn't have any actual
behaviour changes (except I removed one unnecessary check against
node_online_map and one unnecessary BUG_ON)

      [PATCH] mm: set per-cpu-pages lower threshold to zero · e46a5e28
      Seth, Rohit authored 
      Set the low water mark for hot pages in pcp to zero.

(akpm: for the life of me I cannot remember why we created pcp->low.  Neither
can Martin and the changelog is silent.  Maybe it was just a brainfart, but I
have this feeling that there was a reason.  If not, we should remove the
fields completely.  We'll see.)

      [PATCH] mm: page_alloc: increase size of per-cpu-pages · ba56e91c
      Seth, Rohit authored 
      Increase the page allocator's per-cpu magazines from 1/4MB to 1/2MB.

Over 100+ runs for a workload, the difference in mean is about 2%.  The best
results for both are almost same.  Though the max variation in results with
1/2MB is only 2.2%, whereas with 1/4MB it is 12%.

      [PATCH] swaptoken tuning · fcdae29a
      Rik Van Riel authored 
      It turns out that the original swap token implementation, by Song Jiang, only
enforced the swap token while the task holding the token is handling a page
fault.  This patch approximates that, without adding an additional flag to the
mm_struct, by checking whether the mm->mmap_sem is held for reading, like the
page fault code does.

This patch has the effect of automatically, and gradually, disabling the
enforcement of the swap token when there is little or no paging going on, and
"turning up" the intensity of the swap token code the more the task holding
the token is thrashing.

Thanks to Song Jiang for pointing out this aspect of the token based thrashing
control concept.

The new code shows a slight degradation over the old swap token code, but
still a big win over running without the swap token.
