Some bits for zone reclaim exists in 2.6.15 but they are not usable. This
patch fixes them up, removes unused code and makes zone reclaim usable.
Zone reclaim allows the reclaiming of pages from a zone if the number of
free pages falls below the watermarks even if other zones still have enough
pages available. Zone reclaim is of particular importance for NUMA
machines. It can be more beneficial to reclaim a page than taking the
performance penalties that come with allocating a page on a remote zone.
Zone reclaim is enabled if the maximum distance to another node is higher
than RECLAIM_DISTANCE, which may be defined by an arch. By default
RECLAIM_DISTANCE is 20. 20 is the distance to another node in the same
component (enclosure or motherboard) on IA64. The meaning of the NUMA
distance information seems to vary by arch.
If zone reclaim is not successful then no further reclaim attempts will
occur for a certain time period (ZONE_RECLAIM_INTERVAL).
This patch was discussed before. See

Zone reclaim has a huge impact on NUMA performance (f.e. our maximum
throughput with XFS is raised from 4GB to 6GB/sec / page cache contamination
of numa nodes destroys locality if one just does a large copy operation which
results in performance dropping for good until reboot).

Migration code currently does not take a reference to target page
properly, so between unlocking the pte and trying to take a new
reference to the page with isolate_lru_page, anything could happen to
it.
Fix this by holding the pte lock until we get a chance to elevate the
refcount.

Some pcnet32 hardware erroneously has the Vendor ID for Trident. The
pcnet32 driver looks for the PCI ethernet class before grabbing the
hardware, but the current trident driver does not check against the PCI
audio class. This allows the trident driver to claim the pcnet32 hardware.
This patch prevents that.
This revised version of the OSS Trident patch includes PCI_DEVICE Macro
usage.

1) fix "mld_marksources()" to
a) send nothing when all queried sources are excluded
b) send full exclude report when source queried sources are
not excluded
c) don't schedule a timer when there's nothing to report
2) fix "add_grec()" to send empty-source records when it should
The original check doesn't account for a non-empty source
list with all sources inactive; the new code keeps that
short-circuit case, and also generates the group header
with an empty list if needed.
3) fix mca_crcount decrement to be after add_grec(), which needs
its original value
4) add/remove delete records and prevent current advertisements
when an exclude-mode filter moves from "active" to "inactive"
or vice versa based on new filter additions.
Items 1-3 are just IPv4 versions of the IPv6 bugs found
by Yan Zheng and fixed earlier. Item #4 is a related bug that
affects exclude-mode change records only (but not queries) and
also occurs in IPv6 (IPv6 version coming soon).

Removing the gfs2_databuf structure and using gfs2_bufdata instead
is a step towards allowing journaling of data without requiring the
metadata header on each journaled block. The idea is to merge the
code paths for ordered data with that of journaled data, with the
log operations in lops.c tacking account of the different types of
buffers as they are presented to it. Largely the code path for
metadata will be similar too, but obviously through a different set
of log operations.
