The checks for node_online in the uncached allocator are made to make sure that memory is available on these nodes. Thus switch all the checks to use N_HIGH_MEMORY and to N_ONLINE. Signed-off-by:

Simply switch all for_each_online_node to for_each_node_state(NORMAL_MEMORY). That way SLUB only operates on nodes with regular memory. Any allocation attempt on a memoryless node or a node with just highmem will fall whereupon SLUB will fetch memory from a nearby node (depending on how memory policies and cpuset describe fallback).

Slab should not allocate control structures for nodes without memory. This may seem to work right now but its unreliable since not all allocations can fall back due to the use of GFP_THISNODE. Switching a few for_each_online_node's to N_NORMAL_MEMORY will allow us to only allocate for nodes that have regular memory. Signed-off-by:

A node without memory does not need a kswapd. So use the memory map instead of the online map when starting kswapd. Signed-off-by:

constrained_alloc() builds its own memory map for nodes with memory. We have that available in N_HIGH_MEMORY now. So simplify the code. Signed-off-by:

MPOL_INTERLEAVE currently simply loops over all nodes. Allocations on memoryless nodes will be redirected to nodes with memory. This results in an imbalance because the neighboring nodes to memoryless nodes will get significantly more interleave hits that the rest of the nodes on the system. We can avoid this imbalance by clearing the nodes in the interleave node set that have no memory. If we use the node map of the memory nodes instead of the online nodes then we have only the nodes we want. Signed-off-by:

It is necessary to know if nodes have memory since we have recently begun to add support for memoryless nodes. For that purpose we introduce a two new node states: N_HIGH_MEMORY and N_NORMAL_MEMORY. A node has its bit in N_HIGH_MEMORY set if it has any memory regardless of the type of mmemory. If a node has memory then it has at least one zone defined in its pgdat structure that is located in the pgdat itself. A node has its bit in N_NORMAL_MEMORY set if it has a lower zone than ZONE_HIGHMEM. This means it is possible to allocate memory that is not subject to kmap. N_HIGH_MEMORY and N_NORMAL_MEMORY can then be used in various places to insure that we do the right thing when we encounter a memoryless node.

Remove the node_online_map and the node_possible map and realize the same functionality using two nodes stats: N_POSSIBLE and N_ONLINE.

prepare/commit_write no longer returns AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE since OCFS2 and GFS2 were converted to the new aops, so we can make some simplifications for that. [michal.k.k.piotrowski@gmail.com: fix warning] Signed-off-by:

Implement nobh in new aops. This is a bit tricky. FWIW, nobh_truncate is now implemented in a way that does not create blocks in sparse regions, which is a silly thing for it to have been doing (isn't it?) ext2 survives fsx and fsstress. jfs is converted as well... ext3 should be easy to do (but not done yet).

Convert udf to new aops. Also seem to have fixed pagecache corruption in udf_adinicb_commit_write -- page was marked uptodate when it is not. Also, fixed the silly setup where prepare_write was doing a kmap to be used in commit_write: just do kmap_atomic in write_end. Use libfs helpers to make this easier. Signed-off-by:

Rework the generic block "cont" routines to handle the new aops. Supporting cont_prepare_write would take quite a lot of code to support, so remove it instead (and we later convert all filesystems to use it). write_begin gets passed AOP_FLAG_CONT_EXPAND when called from generic_cont_expand, so filesystems can avoid the old hacks they used.
