<id>urn:sha1:c2ba72569bfde13675ef00ed3f44f500f0d7c10a</id>

commit 95a7d76897c1e7243d4137037c66d15cbf2cce76 upstream.

As Mukesh explained it, the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_ALL allows the
hypervisor to do a TLB flush on all active vCPUs. If instead
we were using the generic one (which ends up being xen_flush_tlb)
we end up making the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_LOCAL hypercall. But
before we make that hypercall the kernel will IPI all of the
vCPUs (even those that were asleep from the hypervisor
perspective). The end result is that we needlessly wake them
up and do a TLB flush when we can just let the hypervisor
do it correctly.

This patch gives around 50% speed improvement when migrating
idle guest's from one host to another.

commit 85f2a2ef1d0ab99523e0b947a2b723f5650ed6aa upstream.

When allocating memory fails, page is NULL. page_to_pfn() will
cause the kernel panicked if we don't use sparsemem vmemmap.

<title>writeback: fix dereferencing NULL bdi-&gt;dev on trace_writeback_queue</title>

<id>urn:sha1:422204b77968331ce85721527f7ece49f72658f2</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 977b7e3a52a7421ad33a393a38ece59f3d41c2fa upstream.

When a SD card is hot removed without umount, del_gendisk() will call
bdi_unregister() without destroying/freeing it. This leaves the bdi in
the bdi-&gt;dev = NULL, bdi-&gt;wb.task = NULL, bdi-&gt;bdi_list removed state.

When sync(2) gets the bdi before bdi_unregister() and calls
bdi_queue_work() after the unregister, trace_writeback_queue will be
dereferencing the NULL bdi-&gt;dev. Fix it with a simple test for NULL.

commit 15eb77a07c714ac80201abd0a9568888bcee6276 upstream.

bdi_prune_sb() resets sb-&gt;s_bdi to default_backing_dev_info when the
tearing down the original bdi. Fix trace_writeback_single_inode to
use sb-&gt;s_bdi=default_backing_dev_info rather than bdi-&gt;dev=NULL for a
teared down bdi.

<title>mm: change isolate mode from #define to bitwise type</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4356f21d09283dc6d39a6f7287a65ddab61e2808</id>
<content type='text'>
Change ISOLATE_XXX macro with bitwise isolate_mode_t type.  Normally,
macro isn't recommended as it's type-unsafe and making debugging harder as
symbol cannot be passed throught to the debugger.

Quote from Johannes
" Hmm, it would probably be cleaner to fully convert the isolation mode
into independent flags.  INACTIVE, ACTIVE, BOTH is currently a
tri-state among flags, which is a bit ugly."

This patch moves isolate mode from swap.h to mmzone.h by memcontrol.h

This reverts commit 3a9f987b3141f086de27832514aad9f50a53f754.

With all the files that are real modules now having module.h
explicitly called out for inclusion, and no reliance on any
implicit presence of module.h assumed, we should no longer
need this workaround.
