5972511b77 [BLOCK] Don't pin lots of memory in mempools
Currently we scale the mempool sizes depending on memory installed
in the machine, except for the bio pool itself which sits at a fixed
256 entry pre-allocation.

There's really no point in "optimizing" this OOM path, we just need
enough preallocated to make progress. A single unit is enough, lets
scale it down to 2 just to be on the safe side.

This patch saves ~150kb of pinned kernel memory on a 32-bit box.

There is no effect on behaviour.

f0d1b0b30d [PATCH] LOG2: Implement a general integer log2 facility in the kernel
This facility provides three entry points:

	ilog2()		Log base 2 of unsigned long
	ilog2_u32()	Log base 2 of u32
	ilog2_u64()	Log base 2 of u64

These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:

	int do_something(long q)
	{
		...;
		y = ilog2(x)
		...;
	}

Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:

	unsigned n = ilog2(27);

When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
something not reducible to a constant.  They treat negative numbers as
unsigned.

When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

e18b890bb0 [PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_t
Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.

The patch was generated using the following script:

	#!/bin/sh
	#
	# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
	#

	set -e

	for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
		quilt add $file
		sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$
		mv /tmp/$$ $file
		quilt refresh
	done

The script was run like this

	sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"

48527fa7cf [BLOCK] dm-crypt: benbi IV, big endian narrow block count for LRW-32-AES
LRW-32-AES needs a certain IV. This IV should be provided dm-crypt.
The block cipher mode could, in principle generate the correct IV from
the plain IV, but I think that it is cleaner to supply the right IV
directly.

The sector -> narrow block calculation uses a shift for performance reasons.
This shift is computed in .ctr and stored in cc->iv_gen_private (as a void *).

3fcfab16c5 [PATCH] separate bdi congestion functions from queue congestion functions
Separate out the concept of "queue congestion" from "backing-dev congestion".
Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept.

The blk_* congestion functions are retained, as wrappers around the core
backing-dev congestion functions.

This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion
functions, and so that CONFIG_BLOCK=n actually links.

23541d2d28 [PATCH] dm crypt: move io to workqueue
This patch is designed to help dm-crypt comply with the
new constraints imposed by the following patch in -mm:
  md-dm-reduce-stack-usage-with-stacked-block-devices.patch

Under low memory the existing implementation relies upon waiting for I/O
submitted recursively to generic_make_request() completing before the original
generic_make_request() call can return.

This patch moves the I/O submission to a workqueue so the original
generic_make_request() can return immediately.

4ee218cd67 [PATCH] dm: remove SECTOR_FORMAT
We don't know what type sector_t has.  Sometimes it's unsigned long, sometimes
it's unsigned long long.  For example on ppc64 it's unsigned long with
CONFIG_LBD=n and on x86_64 it's unsigned long long with CONFIG_LBD=n.

The way to handle all of this is to always use unsigned long long and to
always typecast the sector_t when printing it.
