Jan Beulich 4481374ce8 mm: replace various uses of num_physpages by totalram_pages
Sizing of memory allocations shouldn't depend on the number of physical
pages found in a system, as that generally includes (perhaps a huge amount
of) non-RAM pages.  The amount of what actually is usable as storage
should instead be used as a basis here.

Some of the calculations (i.e.  those not intending to use high memory)
should likely even use (totalram_pages - totalhigh_pages).

Christoph Lameter 9e2779fa28 is_vmalloc_addr(): Check if an address is within the vmalloc boundaries
Checking if an address is a vmalloc address is done in a couple of places.
Define a common version in mm.h and replace the other checks.

Again the include structures suck.  The definition of VMALLOC_START and
VMALLOC_END is not available in vmalloc.h since highmem.c cannot be included
there.

Anton Altaparmakov 29b8990513 NTFS: In attrib.c::ntfs_attr_set() call balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited()
and cond_resched() in the main loop as we could be dirtying a lot of
      pages and this ensures we play nice with the VM and the system as a
      whole.

Al Viro dd0fc66fb3 [PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1
- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

 - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
   the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
   generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
   typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

Anton Altaparmakov 06d0e3cf3d NTFS: Allow highmem kmalloc() in ntfs_malloc_nofs() and add _nofail() version.
- Modify fs/ntfs/malloc.h::ntfs_malloc_nofs() to do the kmalloc() based
  allocations with __GFP_HIGHMEM, analogous to how the vmalloc() based
  allocations are done.
- Add fs/ntfs/malloc.h::ntfs_malloc_nofs_nofail() which is analogous to
  ntfs_malloc_nofs() but it performs allocations with __GFP_NOFAIL and
  hence cannot fail.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
