This patch implements libata.force module parameter which can
selectively override ATA port, link and device configurations
including cable type, SATA PHY SPD limit, transfer mode and NCQ.
For example, you can say "use 1.5Gbps for all fan-out ports attached
to the second port but allow 3.0Gbps for the PMP device itself, oh,
the device attached to the third fan-out port chokes on NCQ and
shouldn't go over UDMA4" by the following.
libata.force=2:1.5g,2.15:3.0g,2.03:noncq,udma4

This series addresses the problem of showing mount options in
/proc/mounts.
Several filesystems which use mount options, have not implemented a
.show_options superblock operation. Several others have implemented
this callback, but have not kept it fully up to date with the parsed
options.
Q: Why do we need correct option showing in /proc/mounts?
A: We want /proc/mounts to fully replace /etc/mtab. The reasons for
this are:
- unprivileged mounters won't be able to update /etc/mtab
- /etc/mtab doesn't work with private mount namespaces
- /etc/mtab can become out-of-sync with reality
Q: Can't this be done, so that filesystems need not bother with
implementing a .show_mounts callback, and keeping it up to date?
A: Only in some cases. Certain filesystems allow modification of a
subset of options in their remount_fs method. It is not possible
to take this into account without knowing exactly how the
filesystem handles options.
For the simple case (no remount or remount resets all options) the
patchset introduces two helpers:
generic_show_options()
save_mount_options()
These can also be used to emulate the old /etc/mtab behavior, until
proper support is added. Even if this is not 100% correct, it's still
better than showing no options at all.
The following patches fix up most in-tree filesystems, some have been
compile tested only, some have been reviewed and acked by the
maintainer.

When an AoE device is detected, the kernel is informed, and a new block device
is created. If the device is unused, the block device corresponding to remote
device that is no longer available may be removed from the system by telling
the aoe driver to "flush" its list of devices.
Without this patch, software like GPFS and LVM may attempt to read from AoE
devices that were discovered earlier but are no longer present, blocking until
the I/O attempt times out.

* 'slub-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/christoph/vm:
SLUB: fix checkpatch warnings
Use non atomic unlock
SLUB: Support for performance statistics
SLUB: Alternate fast paths using cmpxchg_local
SLUB: Use unique end pointer for each slab page.
SLUB: Deal with annoying gcc warning on kfree()
The statistics provided here allow the monitoring of allocator behavior but
at the cost of some (minimal) loss of performance. Counters are placed in
SLUB's per cpu data structure. The per cpu structure may be extended by the
statistics to grow larger than one cacheline which will increase the cache
footprint of SLUB.
There is a compile option to enable/disable the inclusion of the runtime
statistics and its off by default.
The slabinfo tool is enhanced to support these statistics via two options:
-D Switches the line of information displayed for a slab from size
mode to activity mode.
-A Sorts the slabs displayed by activity. This allows the display of
the slabs most important to the performance of a certain load.
-r Report option will report detailed statistics on
Example (tbench load):
slabinfo -AD ->Shows the most active slabs

kmalloc-8 6492 9981 5624 99 97
:0000768 258 7174 6931 58 15
So the skbuff_fclone_cache is of highest importance for the tbench load.
Pretty high load on the 192 sized slab. Look for the aliases
slabinfo -a | grep 000192
:0000192 <- xfs_btree_cur filp kmalloc-192 uid_cache tw_sock_TCP
request_sock_TCPv6 tw_sock_TCPv6 skbuff_head_cache xfs_ili
Likely skbuff_head_cache.
Looking into the statistics of the skbuff_fclone_cache is possible through
slabinfo skbuff_fclone_cache ->-r option implied if cache name is mentioned

Page Alloc: Number of calls to the page allocator as a result of slowpath
processing
Add Partial: Number of slabs added to the partial list through free or
alloc (occurs during cpuslab flushes)
Remove Partial: Number of slabs removed from the partial list as a result of
allocations retrieving a partial slab or by a free freeing
the last object of a slab.
RemoteObj/Froz: How many times were remotely freed object encountered when a
slab was about to be deactivated. Frozen: How many times was
free able to skip list processing because the slab was in use
as the cpuslab of another processor.
Flushes: Number of times the cpuslab was flushed on request
(kmem_cache_shrink, may result from races in __slab_alloc)
Refill: Number of times we were able to refill the cpuslab from
remotely freed objects for the same slab.
Deactivate: Statistics how slabs were deactivated. Shows how they were
put onto the partial list.
In general fastpath is very good. Slowpath without partial list processing is
also desirable. Any touching of partial list uses node specific locks which
may potentially cause list lock contention.
