If add_to_page_cache_lru() fails, the page will not be locked. But

Fix this by adding one more label that just releases the page. This bug

This is a set of small fixes addressing points raised with the original
driver submission. In particular, __maybe_unused is used rather than a
local hack and sbd_ops is made const. Additionally I have made two local
string variables automatic as rodata space was wasted for pointers

The sense of the IF bit is backwards in the host interrupt handling.
This means we always save "IF=1" on the stack when injecting an
interrupt. It turns out this is almost always correct (unless the

This is a simplified version of the pagecache context based readahead.
It handles the case of multiple threads reading on the same fd and invalidating
each others' readahead state. It does the trick by scanning the pagecache and
recovering the current read stream's readahead status.
The algorithm
Fold file_ra_state.mmap_hit into file_ra_state.mmap_miss
and make it an int.

Introduce radix_tree_scan_hole(root, index, max_scan) to scan radix tree
for the first hole. It will be used in interleaved readahead.
The implementation is dumb and obviously correct.
It can help debug the possible smart one in future.

Use 'unsigned int' instead of 'unsigned long' for the readahead indexes/sizes.
This helps reduce memory consumption on 64bit CPU when
a lot of files are opened.
Note that the (smaller) 32bit index can support up to 16PB file.
Which should be sufficient large at least for now.

That's only on a slow path during cpu frequency changing while the TSC is
instable.
Shouldn't be that common.

Choose if we want cached pages to be accounted or not. By default both
are accounted for. A new set of tunables are added.
echo -n 1 > mem_control_type
switches the accounting to account for only mapped pages
echo -n 2 > mem_control_type
switches the behaviour back

Out of memory handling for containers over their limit. A task from the
container over limit is chosen using the existing OOM logic and killed.
TODO:
1. As discussed in the OLS BOF session, consider implementing a user
space policy for OOM handling.
Add the meta_page to the per container LRU. The reclaim algorithm has been
modified to make the isolate_lru_pages() as a pluggable component. The
scan_control data structure now accepts the container on behalf of which
reclaims are carried out. try_to_free_pages() has been extended to become
Allow tasks to migrate from one container to the other. We migrate
mm_struct's mem_container only when the thread group id migrates.
