<title>[PATCH] Use __read_mostly on some hot fs variables</title>

I discovered on oprofile hunting on a SMP platform that dentry lookups were
slowed down because d_hash_mask, d_hash_shift and dentry_hashtable were in
a cache line that contained inodes_stat.  So each time inodes_stats is
changed by a cpu, other cpus have to refill their cache line.

This patch moves some variables to the __read_mostly section, in order to
avoid false sharing.  RCU dentry lookups can go full speed.

<title>[PATCH] cpuset memory spread slab cache hooks</title>

<id>b0196009d8c3ecf6ea6ec080c63d2ccc146e7ad9</id>
<content type='text'>
Change the kmem_cache_create calls for certain slab caches to support cpuset
memory spreading.

See the previous patches, cpuset_mem_spread, for an explanation of cpuset
memory spreading, and cpuset_mem_spread_slab_cache for the slab cache support
for memory spreading.

The slab caches marked for now are: dentry_cache, inode_cache, some xfs slab
caches, and buffer_head.  This list may change over time.  In particular,
other file system types that are used extensively on large NUMA systems may
want to allow for spreading their directory and inode slab cache entries.

<title>[PATCH] per-mountpoint noatime/nodiratime</title>

<content type='text'>
Turn noatime and nodiratime into per-mount instead of per-sb flags.

After all the preparations this is a rather trivial patch.  The mount code
needs to treat the two options as per-mount instead of per-superblock, and
touch_atime needs to be changed to check the new MNT_ flags in addition to
the MS_ flags that are kept for filesystems that are always
noatime/nodiratime but not user settable anymore.  Besides that core code
only nfs needed an update because it's leaving atime updates to the server
and thus sets the S_NOATIME flag on every inode, but needs to know whether
it's a real noatime mount for an getattr optimization.

While we're at it I've killed the IS_NOATIME/IS_NODIRATIME macros that were
only used by touch_atime.
