Without the following patch I have problems compiling code using
the new PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID ioctl().  It looks like u64 was used
instead of __u64

Pull btrfs updates from Chris Mason:
 "This is against 3.11-rc7, but was pulled and tested against your tree
  as of yesterday.  We do have two small incrementals queued up, but I
  wanted to get this bunch out the door before I hop on an airplane.

  This is a fairly large batch of fixes, performance improvements, and
  cleanups from the usual Btrfs suspects.

  We've included Stefan Behren's work to index subvolume UUIDs, which is
  targeted at speeding up send/receive with many subvolumes or snapshots
  in place.  It closes a long standing performance issue that was built
  in to the disk format.

  Mark Fasheh's offline dedup work is also here.  In this case offline
  means the FS is mounted and active, but the dedup work is not done
  inline during file IO.  This is a building block where utilities are
  able to ask the FS to dedup a series of extents.  The kernel takes
  care of verifying the data involved really is the same.  Today this
  involves reading both extents, but we'll continue to evolve the
  patches"

<content type='text'>
This series reworks our current object cache shrinking infrastructure in
two main ways:

 * Noticing that a lot of users copy and paste their own version of LRU
   lists for objects, we put some effort in providing a generic version.
   It is modeled after the filesystem users: dentries, inodes, and xfs
   (for various tasks), but we expect that other users could benefit in
   the near future with little or no modification.  Let us know if you
   have any issues.

 * The underlying list_lru being proposed automatically and
   transparently keeps the elements in per-node lists, and is able to
   manipulate the node lists individually.  Given this infrastructure, we
   are able to modify the up-to-now hammer called shrink_slab to proceed
   with node-reclaim instead of always searching memory from all over like
   it has been doing.

Per-node lru lists are also expected to lead to less contention in the lru
locks on multi-node scans, since we are now no longer fighting for a
global lock.  The locks usually disappear from the profilers with this
change.

Although we have no official benchmarks for this version - be our guest to
independently evaluate this - earlier versions of this series were
performance tested (details at
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/100537) yielding no
visible performance regressions while yielding a better qualitative
behavior in NUMA machines.

With this infrastructure in place, we can use the list_lru entry point to
provide memcg isolation and per-memcg targeted reclaim.  Historically,
those two pieces of work have been posted together.  This version presents
only the infrastructure work, deferring the memcg work for a later time,
so we can focus on getting this part tested.  You can see more about the
history of such work at http://lwn.net/Articles/552769/

Dave Chinner (18):
  dcache: convert dentry_stat.nr_unused to per-cpu counters
  dentry: move to per-sb LRU locks
  dcache: remove dentries from LRU before putting on dispose list
  mm: new shrinker API
  shrinker: convert superblock shrinkers to new API
  list: add a new LRU list type
  inode: convert inode lru list to generic lru list code.
  dcache: convert to use new lru list infrastructure
  list_lru: per-node list infrastructure
  shrinker: add node awareness
  fs: convert inode and dentry shrinking to be node aware
  xfs: convert buftarg LRU to generic code
  xfs: rework buffer dispose list tracking
  xfs: convert dquot cache lru to list_lru
  fs: convert fs shrinkers to new scan/count API
  drivers: convert shrinkers to new count/scan API
  shrinker: convert remaining shrinkers to count/scan API
  shrinker: Kill old -&gt;shrink API.

Glauber Costa (7):
  fs: bump inode and dentry counters to long
  super: fix calculation of shrinkable objects for small numbers
  list_lru: per-node API
  vmscan: per-node deferred work
  i915: bail out earlier when shrinker cannot acquire mutex
  hugepage: convert huge zero page shrinker to new shrinker API
  list_lru: dynamically adjust node arrays

This patch:

There are situations in very large machines in which we can have a large
quantity of dirty inodes, unused dentries, etc.  This is particularly true
when umounting a filesystem, where eventually since every live object will
eventually be discarded.

Dave Chinner reported a problem with this while experimenting with the
shrinker revamp patchset.  So we believe it is time for a change.  This
patch just moves int to longs.  Machines where it matters should have a
big long anyway.
