Make page_referenced() cgroup aware.  Without this patch, page_referenced()
can cause a page to be skipped while reclaiming pages.  This patch ensures
that other cgroups do not hold pages in a particular cgroup hostage.  It
is required to ensure that shared pages are freed from a cgroup when they
are not actively referenced from the cgroup that brought them in

Add the accounting hooks.  The accounting is carried out for RSS and Page
Cache (unmapped) pages.  There is now a common limit and accounting for both.
The RSS accounting is accounted at page_add_*_rmap() and page_remove_rmap()
time.  Page cache is accounted at add_to_page_cache(),
__delete_from_page_cache().  Swap cache is also accounted for.

Each page's page_cgroup is protected with the last bit of the
page_cgroup pointer, this makes handling of race conditions involving
simultaneous mappings of a page easier.  A reference count is kept in the
page_cgroup to deal with cases where a page might be unmapped from the RSS
of all tasks, but still lives in the page cache.

Credits go to Vaidyanathan Srinivasan for helping with reference counting work
of the page cgroup.  Almost all of the page cache accounting code has help
from Vaidyanathan Srinivasan.

attributes with one more entry than the number of enums in power_supply.h.
This leads to some attributes containing the value of the attribute right

ext3: fix lock inversion in direct IO

We cannot start transaction in ext3_direct_IO() and just let it last during

transaction start (e.g.  because we have dependency chain
mmap_sem->PageLock->journal_start, or because we update atime while holding
mmap_sem) and thus deadlocks could happen.  We solve the problem by
starting a transaction separately for each ext3_get_block() call.

We *could* have a problem that we allocate a block and before its data are
written out the machine crashes and thus we expose stale data.  But that
does not happen because for hole-filling generic code falls back to
buffered writes and for file extension, we add inode to orphan list and

PNP: disable Supermicro H8DCE motherboard resources that overlap SATA BARs

Some Supermicro BIOSes describe a SATA PCI BAR as a motherboard resource.
The PNP system driver claims motherboard resources, and this prevents the
sata_nv driver from requesting it later.

This patch disables the PNP0C01/PNP0C02 resources so they won't be claimed
by the PNP system driver, so they'll available for sata_nv.

This fixes the bugs below, where sata_nv detects only two out of four SATA
drives.  The signature includes dmesg lines similar to these:
