Pull more input updates from Dmitry Torokhov:
 "Second round of updates for the input subsystem.

  This introduces two brand new touchscreen drivers (Colibri and
  imx6ul_tsc), some small driver fixes, and we are no longer report
  errors from evdev_flush() as users do not really have a way of
  handling errors, error codes that we were returning were not on the
  list of errors supposed to be returned by close(), and errors were
  causing issues with one of older versions of systemd"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input:
  Input: imx_keypad - remove obsolete comment
  Input: touchscreen - add imx6ul_tsc driver support

  Input: i8042 - lower log level for "no controller" message

Pull blk-cg updates from Jens Axboe:
 "A bit later in the cycle, but this has been in the block tree for a a
  while.  This is basically four patchsets from Tejun, that improve our
  buffered cgroup writeback.  It was dependent on the other cgroup
  changes, but they went in earlier in this cycle.

  Series 1 is set of 5 patches that has cgroup writeback updates:

   - bdi_writeback iteration fix which could lead to some wb's being
     skipped or repeated during e.g. sync under memory pressure.

   - Simplification of wb work wait mechanism.

   - Writeback tracepoints updated to report cgroup.

  Series 2 is is a set of updates for the CFQ cgroup writeback handling:

     cfq has always charged all async IOs to the root cgroup.  It didn't
     have much choice as writeback didn't know about cgroups and there
     was no way to tell who to blame for a given writeback IO.
     writeback finally grew support for cgroups and now tags each
     writeback IO with the appropriate cgroup to charge it against.

     This patchset updates cfq so that it follows the blkcg each bio is
     tagged with.  Async cfq_queues are now shared across cfq_group,
     which is per-cgroup, instead of per-request_queue cfq_data.  This
     makes all IOs follow the weight based IO resource distribution
     implemented by cfq.

     - Switched from GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_NOWAIT as suggested by Jeff.

     - Other misc review points addressed, acks added and rebased.

  Series 3 is the blkcg policy cleanup patches:

     This patchset contains assorted cleanups for blkcg_policy methods
     and blk[c]g_policy_data handling.

     - alloc/free added for blkg_policy_data.  exit dropped.

     - alloc/free added for blkcg_policy_data.

     - blk-throttle's async percpu allocation is replaced with direct
       allocation.

     - all methods now take blk[c]g_policy_data instead of blkcg_gq or
       blkcg.

  And finally, series 4 is a set of patches cleaning up the blkcg stats
  handling:

    blkcg's stats have always been somwhat of a mess.  This patchset
    tries to improve the situation a bit.

     - The following patches added to consolidate blkcg entry point and
       blkg creation.  This is in itself is an improvement and helps
       colllecting common stats on bio issue.

     - per-blkg stats now accounted on bio issue rather than request
       completion so that bio based and request based drivers can behave
       the same way.  The issue was spotted by Vivek.

     - cfq-iosched implements custom recursive stats and blk-throttle
       implements custom per-cpu stats.  This patchset make blkcg core
       support both by default.

     - cfq-iosched and blk-throttle keep track of the same stats
       multiple times.  Unify them"

* 'for-4.3/blkcg' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (45 commits)
  blkcg: use CGROUP_WEIGHT_* scale for io.weight on the unified hierarchy
  blkcg: s/CFQ_WEIGHT_*/CFQ_WEIGHT_LEGACY_*/
  blkcg: implement interface for the unified hierarchy
  blkcg: misc preparations for unified hierarchy interface
  blkcg: separate out tg_conf_updated() from tg_set_conf()
  blkcg: move body parsing from blkg_conf_prep() to its callers
  blkcg: mark existing cftypes as legacy
  blkcg: rename subsystem name from blkio to io
  blkcg: refine error codes returned during blkcg configuration
  blkcg: remove unnecessary NULL checks from __cfqg_set_weight_device()
  blkcg: reduce stack usage of blkg_rwstat_recursive_sum()
  blkcg: remove cfqg_stats-&gt;sectors
  blkcg: move io_service_bytes and io_serviced stats into blkcg_gq
  blkcg: make blkg_[rw]stat_recursive_sum() to be able to index into blkcg_gq
  blkcg: make blkcg_[rw]stat per-cpu
  blkcg: add blkg_[rw]stat-&gt;aux_cnt and replace cfq_group-&gt;dead_stats with it
  blkcg: consolidate blkg creation in blkcg_bio_issue_check()
  blk-throttle: improve queue bypass handling
  blkcg: move root blkg lookup optimization from throtl_lookup_tg() to __blkg_lookup()

<title>proc: export idle flag via kpageflags</title>

As noted by Minchan, a benefit of reading idle flag from /proc/kpageflags
is that one can easily filter dirty and/or unevictable pages while
estimating the size of unused memory.

Note that idle flag read from /proc/kpageflags may be stale in case the
page was accessed via a PTE, because it would be too costly to iterate
over all page mappings on each /proc/kpageflags read to provide an
up-to-date value.  To make sure the flag is up-to-date one has to read
/sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap first.

<title>mm: introduce idle page tracking</title>

Knowing the portion of memory that is not used by a certain application or
memory cgroup (idle memory) can be useful for partitioning the system
efficiently, e.g.  by setting memory cgroup limits appropriately.
Currently, the only means to estimate the amount of idle memory provided
by the kernel is /proc/PID/{clear_refs,smaps}: the user can clear the
access bit for all pages mapped to a particular process by writing 1 to
clear_refs, wait for some time, and then count smaps:Referenced.  However,
this method has two serious shortcomings:

 - it does not count unmapped file pages
 - it affects the reclaimer logic

To overcome these drawbacks, this patch introduces two new page flags,
Idle and Young, and a new sysfs file, /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap.
A page's Idle flag can only be set from userspace by setting bit in
/sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap at the offset corresponding to the page,
and it is cleared whenever the page is accessed either through page tables
(it is cleared in page_referenced() in this case) or using the read(2)
system call (mark_page_accessed()). Thus by setting the Idle flag for
pages of a particular workload, which can be found e.g.  by reading
/proc/PID/pagemap, waiting for some time to let the workload access its
working set, and then reading the bitmap file, one can estimate the amount
of pages that are not used by the workload.

The Young page flag is used to avoid interference with the memory
reclaimer.  A page's Young flag is set whenever the Access bit of a page
table entry pointing to the page is cleared by writing to the bitmap file.
If page_referenced() is called on a Young page, it will add 1 to its
return value, therefore concealing the fact that the Access bit was
cleared.

Note, since there is no room for extra page flags on 32 bit, this feature
uses extended page flags when compiled on 32 bit.
