Commit a6dc60f8975ad96d162915e07703a4439c80dcf0 ("vmscan: rename
sc.may_swap to may_unmap") removed the may_swap flag, but memcg had used
it as a flag for "we need to use swap?", as the name indicate.
And in the current implementation, memcg cannot reclaim mapped file
caches when mem+swap hits the limit.
re-introduce may_swap flag and handle it at get_scan_ratio(). This
patch doesn't influence any scan_control users other than memcg.
Noticing that every caller of mpt_config has its CONFIGPARMS struct
declared on the stack and thus the &pCfg->timer is always on the stack I
changed init_timer() to init_timer_on_stack() and it seems to have shut
up.....

frv: insert PCI root bus resources for the MB93090 devel motherboard
Insert PCI root bus resources for the FRV-based MB93090 development kit

address space is considerably smaller than the CPU's full address space
and non-PCI devices lie outside of the PCI window that we might want to

Without this patch, the PCI root bus uses the platform-level bus
resources, and these are then confined to the PCI window, thus making
platform_device_add() reject devices outside of this window.

Fix i_mutex vs. readdir handling in nfsd
Commit 14f7dd63 ("Copy XFS readdir hack into nfsd code") introduced a
bug to generic code which had been extant for a long time in the XFS
version -- it started to call through into lookup_one_len() and hence
into the file systems' ->lookup() methods without i_mutex held on the
directory.
This patch fixes it by locking the directory's i_mutex again before
calling the filldir functions. The original deadlocks which commit 14f7dd63 was designed to avoid are still avoided, because they were due
to fs-internal locking, not i_mutex.
While we're at it, fix the return type of nfsd_buffered_readdir() which
should be a __be32 not an int -- it's an NFS errno, not a Linux errno.
And return nfserrno(-ENOMEM) when allocation fails, not just -ENOMEM.
Sparse would have caught that, if it wasn't so busy bitching about
__cold__.
Commit 05f4f678 ("nfsd4: don't do lookup within readdir in recovery

PM/Suspend: Introduce two new platform callbacks to avoid breakage
Commit 900af0d973856d6feb6fc088c2d0d3fde57707d3 (PM: Change suspend
code ordering) changed the ordering of suspend code in such a way
that the platform .prepare() callback is now executed after the
device drivers' late suspend callbacks have run. Unfortunately, this
turns out to break ARM platforms that need to talk via I2C to power
control devices during the .prepare() callback.
For this reason introduce two new platform suspend callbacks,
.prepare_late() and .wake(), that will be called just prior to
disabling non-boot CPUs and right after bringing them back on line,
respectively, and use them instead of .prepare() and .finish() for
ACPI suspend. Make the PM core execute the .prepare() and .finish()
platform suspend callbacks where they were executed previously (that
is, right after calling the regular suspend methods provided by
device drivers and right before executing their regular resume
methods, respectively).
It is not necessary to make analogous changes to the hibernation
code and data structures at the moment, because they are only used
by ACPI platforms.
