[PATCH 4/7] vfs: __d_path: dont prepend the name of the root dentry
From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi(a)suse.cz> In the old times pseudo-filesystems set the name of theroot dentry to some prefix like "pipe:" and the name of the child dentry to "[123]" and relied on a hack in __d_path() to replace the preceding slash with the root's name to get "pipe:[123]". Then the d_dname() dentr... 10 Aug 2010 05:51

[PATCH 3/7] ia64: perfmon: add d_dname method
From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi(a)suse.cz> Switch ia64/perfmon to using the d_dname() instead of relying on __d_path() to prepend the name of the root dentry to the path.

[PATCH 5/7] vfs: add prepend_path() helper
From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi(a)suse.cz> Split off prepend_path() from __d_path(). This new helper takes an end-of-buffer pointer and buffer-length pointer just like the other prepend_* functions. Move the " (deleted)" postfix out to __d_path(). This patch doesn't change any functionality but paves the way for... 10 Aug 2010 05:51

[PATCH 2/9] hugetlb: add allocate function for hugepage migration
We can't use existing hugepage allocation functions to allocate hugepage for page migration, because page migration can happen asynchronously with the running processes and page migration users should call the allocation function with physical addresses (not virtual addresses) as arguments. ChangeLog: - add comm... 10 Aug 2010 05:51

[PATCH 7/9] HWPOISON, hugetlb: fix unpoison for hugepage
Currently unpoisoning hugepages doesn't work because it's not enough to just clear PG_HWPoison bits and we need to link the hugepage to be unpoisoned back to the free hugepage list. To do this, we get and put hwpoisoned hugepage whose refcount is 0. Signed-off-by: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi(a)ah.jp.nec.com> Sign... 10 Aug 2010 05:51

[PATCH 5/9] hugetlb: hugepage migration core
This patch extends page migration code to support hugepage migration. One of the potential users of this feature is soft offlining which is triggered by memory corrected errors (added by the next patch.) Todo: there are other users of page migration such as memory policy, memory hotplug and memocy compaction. Th... 10 Aug 2010 05:51

[PATCH 4/9] hugetlb: redefine hugepage copy functions
This patch modifies hugepage copy functions to have only destination and source hugepages as arguments for later use. The old ones are renamed from copy_{gigantic,huge}_page() to copy_user_{gigantic,huge}_page(). This naming convention is consistent with that between copy_highpage() and copy_user_highpage().
