2012-04-21T05:58:20+00:00

it's always current->mm

aio: don't bother with unmapping when aio_free_ring() is coming from exit_aio()

2012-04-21T05:58:16+00:00

... since exit_mmap() is coming and it will munmap() everything anyway.
In all other cases aio_free_ring() has ctx->mm == current->mm; moreover,
all other callers of vm_munmap() have mm == current->mm, so this will
allow us to get rid of mm argument of vm_munmap().

VM: add "vm_mmap()" helper function

2012-04-21T00:29:13+00:00

This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap():
vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the
required VM locking.

This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly
duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c.  But that way we don't have
to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function.

Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all
modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead.  We're actually
very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken)
use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf.

VM: add "vm_munmap()" helper function

2012-04-21T00:29:13+00:00

Like the vm_brk() function, this is the same as "do_munmap()", except it
does the VM locking for the caller.

VM: add "vm_brk()" helper function

2012-04-21T00:28:17+00:00

It does the same thing as "do_brk()", except it handles the VM locking
too.

It turns out that all external callers want that anyway, so we can make
do_brk() static to just mm/mmap.c while at it.

Pull ext4 regression fixes from Ted Ts'o:
 "This fixes a scalability problem reported by Andi Kleen and Tim Chen;
  they were quite secretive about the precise nature of their workload,
  but they later admitted that it only showed up when they were using a
  large sparse file, so the amount of data I/O that was needed was close
  to zero.

  I'm not sure how realistic this is and it's only a regression if you
  consider changes made since 2.6.39 to be a "regression" vis-a-vis the
  policy regarding post-merge window bug fixes, but Linus agreed it was
  worth fixing, so I'm including it in this pull request.

  This also fixes the journalled quota mount options, which I
  accidentally broke while I was cleaning up the mount option handling."
