sched/rt: Remove redundant nr_cpus_allowed test

Date	Fri, 4 Oct 2013 14:24:53 -0500

From: Shawn Bohrer <sbohrer@rgmadvisors.com>

In 76854c7 "sched: Use
rt.nr_cpus_allowed to recover select_task_rq() cycles" an optimization
was added to select_task_rq_rt() that immediately returns when
p->nr_cpus_allowed == 1 at the beginning of the function.  This makes
the latter p->nr_cpus_allowed > 1 check redundant and can be removed.

fs: vfat: reduce the worst case latencies

When a block partition is mounted with FAT file system
and MS_DIRSYNC option is used, some file system operations
like create, rename shall sleep in caller's context until
all the metadata have been committed to the non-volatile memory.
Since this operation is blocking call for user context,
the WRITE_SYNC option must be used instead of WRITE
(async operation) which incur inherent latencies while
flushing the meta-data corresponding to directory entries

CHROMIUM: mm: Fix calculation of dirtyable memory

The system uses global_dirtyable_memory() to calculate
number of dirtyable pages/pages that can be allocated
to the page cache.  A bug causes an underflow thus making
the page count look like a big unsigned number.  This in turn
confuses the dirty writeback throttling to aggressively write
back pages as they become dirty (usually 1 page at a time).

Fix is to ensure there is no underflow while doing the math.

mm: remove compressed copy from zram in-memory

Swap subsystem does lazy swap slot free with expecting the page would be
swapped out again so we can avoid unnecessary write.

But the problem in in-memory swap(ex, zram) is that it consumes memory
space until vm_swap_full(ie, used half of all of swap device) condition
meet.  It could be bad if we use multiple swap device, small in-memory
swap and big storage swap or in-memory swap alone.

This patch makes swap subsystem free swap slot as soon as swap-read is
completed and make the swapcache page dirty so the page should be
written out the swap device to reclaim it.  It means we never lose it.

I tested this patch with kernel compile workload.

1. before

   compile time : 9882.42
   zram max wasted space by fragmentation: 13471881 byte
   memory space consumed by zram: 174227456 byte

2. after

   compile time : 9653.90
   zram max wasted space by fragmentation: 11805932 byte
   memory space consumed by zram: 154001408 byte

nohz: Reduce overhead under high-freq idling patterns

One testbox of mine (Intel Nehalem, 16-way) uses MWAIT for its idle routine,
which apparently can break out of its idle loop rather frequently, with
high frequency.

In that case NO_HZ_FULL=y kernels show high ksoftirqd overhead and constant
context switching, because tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() will, if
delta_jiffies == 0, mis-identify this as a timer event - activating the
TIMER_SOFTIRQ, which wakes up ksoftirqd.

Fix this by treating delta_jiffies == 0 the same way we treat other short
wakeups, delta_jiffies == 1.

cpufreq: Manage only online cpus

cpufreq core doesn't manage offline cpus and if driver->init() has returned
mask including offline cpus, it may result in unwanted behavior by cpufreq core
or governors.

We need to get only online cpus in this mask. There are two places to fix this
mask, cpufreq core and cpufreq driver. It makes sense to do this at common place
and hence is done in core.
