Merge tag 'stable/frontswap.v16-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/mm
Pull frontswap feature from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"Frontswap provides a "transcendent memory" interface for swap pages.
In some environments, dramatic performance savings may be obtained
because swapped pages are saved in RAM (or a RAM-like device) instead
of a swap disk. This tag provides the basic infrastructure along with
some changes to the existing backends."
Fix up trivial conflict in mm/Makefile due to removal of swap token code
changing a line next to the new frontswap entry.
This pull request came in before the merge window even opened, it got
delayed to after the merge window by me just wanting to make sure it had
actual users. Apparently IBM is using this on their embedded side, and
Jan Beulich says that it's already made available for SLES and OpenSUSE
users.
Also acked by Rik van Riel, and Konrad points to other people liking it
too. So in it goes.

Here is the big staging tree pull request for the 3.5-rc1 merge window.
Loads of changes here, and we just narrowly added more lines than we
added:
622 files changed, 28356 insertions(+), 26059 deletions(-)
But, good news is that there is a number of subsystems that moved out of
the staging tree, to their respective "real" portions of the kernel.
Code that moved out was:
- iio core code
- mei driver
- vme core and bridge drivers
There was one broken network driver that moved into staging as a step
before it is removed from the tree (pc300), and there was a few new
drivers added to the tree:
- new iio drivers
- gdm72xx wimax USB driver
- ipack subsystem and 2 drivers
All of the movements around have acks from the various subsystem
maintainers, and all of this has been in the linux-next tree for a
while.

RAMster does many zcache-like things. In order to avoid major
merge conflicts at 3.4, ramster used lzo1x directly for compression
and retained a local copy of xvmalloc, while zcache moved to the
new zsmalloc allocator and the crypto API.
This patch moves ramster forward to use zsmalloc and crypto.

The just-merged ramster staging driver was dependent on a cleanup patch in
cleancache, so was marked CONFIG_BROKEN until that patch could be
merged. That cleancache patch is now merged (and the correct SHA of the
cleancache patch is 3167760f83 rather than
the one shown in the comment removed in the patch below).
So remove the CONFIG_BROKEN now and the comment that is no longer true...

Ramster can't be a module (yet) and depends on CONFIGFS_FS=y, but
allmodconfig builds with CONFIGFS_FS=m, which breaks the build.
And forcing CONFIGFS_FS=y with select breaks the build in other ways.
So just don't build ramster unless CONFIGFS_FS=y.
Also, while we're here, add a comment as to why BROKEN is depended.

RAMster implements peer-to-peer transcendent memory, allowing a "cluster"
of kernels to dynamically pool their RAM.
This patch adds new files necessary for ramster support: The file
ramster.h declares externs and some pampd bitfield manipulation. The
file zcache.h declares some zcache functions that now must be accessed
from the ramster glue code. The file r2net.c is the glue between zcache
and the messaging layer, providing routines called from zcache that
initiate messages, and routines that handle messages by calling zcache.
TODO explains future plans for merging.

RAMster implements peer-to-peer transcendent memory, allowing a "cluster"
of kernels to dynamically pool their RAM.
This patch incorporates changes transforming zcache to work with
a remote store.
In tmem.[ch], new "repatriate" (provoke async get) and "localify" (handle
incoming data resulting from an async get) routines combine with a handful
of changes to existing pamops interfaces allow the generic tmem code
to support asynchronous operations. Also, a new tmem_xhandle struct
groups together key information that must be passed to remote tmem stores.
Zcache-main.c is augmented with a large amount of ramster-specific code
to handle remote operations and "foreign" pages on both ends of the
"remotify" protocol. New "foreign" pools are auto-created on demand.
A "selfshrinker" thread periodically repatriates remote persistent pages
when local memory conditions allow. For certain operations, a queue is
necessary to guarantee strict ordering as out-of-order puts/flushes can
cause strange race conditions. Pampd pointers now either point to local
memory OR describe a remote page; to allow the same 64-bits to describe
either, the LSB is used to differentiate. Some acrobatics must be performed
to ensure local memory is available to handle a remote persistent get,
or deal with the data directly anyway if the malloc failed. Lots
of ramster-specific statistics are available via sysfs.
Note: Some debug ifdefs left in for now.

RAMster implements peer-to-peer transcendent memory, allowing a "cluster"
of kernels to dynamically pool their RAM.
Zcache is in the process of converting allocators, from xvmalloc to zsmalloc.
Further, RAMster V5 testing to date has been done only with xvmalloc.
To avoid merging problems, a linux-3.2 copy of xvmalloc is incorporated by
this patch. Later patches will be able to eliminate xvmalloc and use zsmalloc.

RAMster implements peer-to-peer transcendent memory, allowing a "cluster"
of kernels to dynamically pool their RAM.
This patch copies files from drivers/staging/zcache. RAMster compresses
pages locally before transmitting them to another node, so we can
leverage the zcache and tmem code directly. Note: there are
no ramster-specific changes yet to these files.
(Why copy? The ramster tmem.c/tmem.h changes are definitely shareable
between zcache and ramster; the eventual destination for tmem.c
is the linux lib directory. Ramster changes to zcache are more substantial
and zcache is currently undergoing some significant unrelated changes
(including a new allocator and breaking zcache-main.c into smaller files),
so it seemed best to branch temporarily and merge later.)

RAMster implements peer-to-peer transcendent memory, allowing a "cluster"
of kernels to dynamically pool their RAM.
This patch provides the cluster and messaging foundation for RAMster,
implementing the basic cluster discovery, mapping, heartbeat / keepalive,
and messaging ("r2net") that RAMster requires for internode communication.
This code heavily leverages code from the ocfs2 cluster layer but
has been extended, interfaces to userland changed, and external functions
renamed so that RAMster and ocfs2 can co-exist in the kernel and userland.
