Pull staging driver updates from Greg KH: "Here's the big staging tree pull request for 3.19-rc1. We continued to delete more lines than were added, always a good thing, but not at a huge rate this release, only about 70k lines removed overall mostly from removing the horrid bcm driver. Lots of normal staging driver cleanups and fixes all over the place, well over a thousand of them, the shortlog shows all the horrid details. The "contentious" thing here is the movement of the Android binder code out of staging into the "real" part of the kernel. This is code that has been stable for a few years now and is working as-is in the tens of millions of devices with no issues. Yes, the code is horrid, and the userspace api leaves a lot to be desired, but it's not going to change due to legacy issues that we have no control over. Because so many devices and companies rely on this, and the code is stable, might as well promote it out of staging. This was all discussed at the Linux Plumbers conference, and everyone participating agreed that this was the best way forward. There is work happening to replace the binder code with something new that is happening right now, but I don't expect to see the results of that work for another year at the earliest. If that ever happens, and Android switches over to it, I'll gladly remove this version. As for maintainers, I'll be glad to maintain this code, I've been doing it for the past few years with no problems. I'll send a MAINTAINERS entry for it before 3.19-final is out, still need to talk to the Google developers about if they are willing to help with it or not, last I checked they were, which was good.

mm: vmscan: invoke slab shrinkers from shrink_zone()

2014-12-13T20:42:48Z

The slab shrinkers are currently invoked from the zonelist walkers in kswapd, direct reclaim, and zone reclaim, all of which roughly gauge the eligible LRU pages and assemble a nodemask to pass to NUMA-aware shrinkers, which then again have to walk over the nodemask. This is redundant code, extra runtime work, and fairly inaccurate when it comes to the estimation of actually scannable LRU pages. The code duplication will only get worse when making the shrinkers cgroup-aware and requiring them to have out-of-band cgroup hierarchy walks as well. Instead, invoke the shrinkers from shrink_zone(), which is where all reclaimers end up, to avoid this duplication. Take the count for eligible LRU pages out of get_scan_count(), which considers many more factors than just the availability of swap space, like zone_reclaimable_pages() currently does. Accumulate the number over all visited lruvecs to get the per-zone value. Some nodes have multiple zones due to memory addressing restrictions. To avoid putting too much pressure on the shrinkers, only invoke them once for each such node, using the class zone of the allocation as the pivot zone. For now, this integrates the slab shrinking better into the reclaim logic and gets rid of duplicative invocations from kswapd, direct reclaim, and zone reclaim. It also prepares for cgroup-awareness, allowing memcg-capable shrinkers to be added at the lruvec level without much duplication of both code and runtime work. This changes kswapd behavior, which used to invoke the shrinkers for each zone, but with scan ratios gathered from the entire node, resulting in meaningless pressure quantities on multi-zone nodes. Zone reclaim behavior also changes. It used to shrink slabs until the same amount of pages were shrunk as were reclaimed from the LRUs. Now it merely invokes the shrinkers once with the zone's scan ratio, which makes the shrinkers go easier on caches that implement aging and would prefer feeding back pressure from recently used slab objects to unused LRU pages.

staging: android: ion: Deletion of unnecessary checks before two function calls

2014-11-26T21:42:53Z

The functions ion_heap_destroy() and vfree() perform also input parameter validation. Thus the test around the call is not needed. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software. Signed-off-by: Markus Elfring Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

merge nfs bugfixes into nfsd for-3.19 branch

2014-11-19T17:06:30Z

In addition to nfsd bugfixes, there are some fixes in -rc5 for client bugs that can interfere with my testing.

VFS: Rename do_fallocate() to vfs_fallocate()

2014-11-07T21:17:44Z

This function needs to be exported so it can be used by the NFSD module when responding to the new ALLOCATE and DEALLOCATE operations in NFS v4.2. Christoph Hellwig suggested renaming the function to stay consistent with how other vfs functions are named. Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields

staging: android: logger: Add a TODO

2014-11-04T00:09:28Z

A comment about a pre-existing bug data structure definition is added. This bug was evidently introduced by Xiong Zhou in the patch bd471258f2e09 ("staging: android: logger: use kuid_t instead of uid_t") where the code was changed to hide a valid build warning instead of solving the bug that was identified by it.
