Mingming Cao e8ced39d5e percpu_counter: new function percpu_counter_sum_and_set
Delayed allocation need to check free blocks at every write time.
percpu_counter_read_positive() is not quit accurate. delayed
allocation need a more accurate accounting, but using
percpu_counter_sum_positive() is frequently is quite expensive.

This patch added a new function to update center counter when sum
per-cpu counter, to increase the accurate rate for next
percpu_counter_read() and require less calling expensive
percpu_counter_sum().

Peter Zijlstra cf0ca9fe5d mm: bdi: export BDI attributes in sysfs
Provide a place in sysfs (/sys/class/bdi) for the backing_dev_info object.
This allows us to see and set the various BDI specific variables.

In particular this properly exposes the read-ahead window for all relevant
users and /sys/block/<block>/queue/read_ahead_kb should be deprecated.

With patient help from Kay Sievers and Greg KH

[mszeredi@suse.cz]

 - split off NFS and FUSE changes into separate patches
 - document new sysfs attributes under Documentation/ABI
 - do bdi_class_init as a core_initcall, otherwise the "default" BDI
   won't be initialized
 - remove bdi_init_fmt macro, it's not used very much

Gautham R Shenoy d2b20b1154 Add irq protection in the percpu-counters cpu-hotplug-callback path
Some of the per-cpu counters and thus their locks are accessed from IRQ
contexts.  This can cause a deadlock if it interrupts a cpu-offline thread
which is transferring a dead-cpu's counts to the global counter.

Add appropriate IRQ protection in the cpu-hotplug callback path.

Now that we have implemented hotunplug-time counter spilling,
percpu_counter_sum() only needs to look at online CPUs.

Andrew Morton c67ad917cb percpu_counters(): use cpu notifiers
per-cpu counters presently must iterate over all possible CPUs in the
exhaustive percpu_counter_sum().

But it can be much better to only iterate over the presently-online CPUs.  To
do this, we must arrange for an offlined CPU's count to be spilled into the
counter's central count.

We can do this for all percpu_counters in the machine by linking them into a
single global list and walking that list at CPU_DEAD time.

(I hope.  Might have race windows in which the percpu_counter_sum() count is
inaccurate?)

Mingming Cao 0216bfcffe [PATCH] percpu counter data type changes to suppport more than 2**31 ext3 free blocks counter
The percpu counter data type are changed in this set of patches to support
more users like ext3 who need more than 32 bit to store the free blocks
total in the filesystem.

- Generic perpcu counters data type changes.  The size of the global counter
  and local counter were explictly specified using s64 and s32.  The global
  counter is changed from long to s64, while the local counter is changed from
  long to s32, so we could avoid doing 64 bit update in most cases.

- Users of the percpu counters are updated to make use of the new
  percpu_counter_init() routine now taking an additional parameter to allow
  users to pass the initial value of the global counter.
