Since size_t has the same size as a long on all architectures, it's enough
for overflow checks to check against ULONG_MAX.
This change could allow a compiler better optimization (especially in the
n=1 case).
The practical effect seems to be positive, but quite small:

Insert "fresh" huge pages into the hugepage allocator by the same means as
they are freed back into it. This reduces code size and allows
enqueue_huge_page to be inlined into the hugepage free fastpath.
Eliminate occurances of hugepages on the free list with non-zero refcount.
This can allow stricter refcount checks in future. Also required for
lockless pagecache.
Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>
"This patch also eliminates a leak "cleaned up" by re-clobbering the
refcount on every allocation from the hugepage freelists. With respect to
the lockless pagecache, the crucial aspect is to eliminate unconditional
set_page_count() to 0 on pages with potentially nonzero refcounts, though
closer inspection suggests the assignments removed are entirely spurious."

The bootmem code added to page_alloc.c duplicated some page freeing code
that it really doesn't need to because it is not so performance critical.
While we're here, make prefetching work properly by actually prefetching
the page we're about to use before prefetching ahead to the next one (ie.
get the most important transaction started first). Also prefetch just a
single page ahead rather than leaving a gap of 16.

The VM has an interesting race where a page refcount can drop to zero, but it
is still on the LRU lists for a short time. This was solved by testing a 0->1
refcount transition when picking up pages from the LRU, and dropping the
refcount in that case.
Instead, use atomic_add_unless to ensure we never pick up a 0 refcount page
from the LRU, thus a 0 refcount page will never have its refcount elevated
until it is allocated again.

__get_page_state() has an open-coded for_each_cpu_mask() loop in it.
Tidy that up, then notice that the code was buggy:
while (cpu < NR_CPUS) {
unsigned long *in, *out, off;
if (!cpu_isset(cpu, *cpumask))
continue;
an obvious infinite loop. I guess we just never call it with a holey cpu

in the cache (there is no d_delete to mark it for removal). If the file is

Remove the sleep_avg multiplier. This multiplier was necessary back when
we had 10 seconds of dynamic range in sleep_avg, but now that we only have
one second, it causes that one second to be compressed down to 100ms in
some cases. This is particularly noticeable when compiling a kernel in a
slow NFS mount, and I believe it to be a very likely candidate for other
recently reported network related interactivity problems.
In testing, I can detect no negative impact of this removal.

All accessor's different methods are now selected with C code and unused
ones statically optimized away at compile time instead of being selected
with #if's and #ifdef's. This has many advantages such as allowing the
compiler to validate the syntax of the whole code, making it cleaner and
easier to understand, and ultimately allowing people to define
configuration symbols in terms of variables if they really want to
dynamically support multiple bus configurations at the same time (with
the unavoidable performance cost).
