alloc_task_struct_node() allocates THREAD_SIZE and maintains some
weird refcount in the allocated memory. This never blew up as
task_struct size on 32bit machines was always less than THREAD_SIZE
Allocate just sizeof(struct task_struct) and get rid of the magic
refcounting.

None of the callsites actually need the page_cgroup descriptor
themselves, so just pass the page and do the look up in there.
We already had two bugs (6568d4a 'mm: memcg: update the correct soft

replace_page_cache') where the passed page and pc were not referring

The comments above __alloc_bootmem_node() claim that the code will
first try the allocation using 'goal' and if that fails it will
try again but with the 'goal' requirement dropped.
Unfortunately, this is not what the code does, so fix it to do so.
This is important for nobootmem conversions to architectures such
as sparc where MAX_DMA_ADDRESS is infinity.
On such architectures all of the allocations done by generic spots,
such as the sparse-vmemmap implementation, will pass in:
__pa(MAX_DMA_ADDRESS)
as the goal, and with the limit given as "-1" this will always fail
unless we add the appropriate fallback logic here.

Pull HSI fixes and ABI documentation from Carlos Chinea
* tag 'hsi_fixes_for_3.4' of git://gitorious.org/kernel-hsi/kernel-hsi:
HSI: Add HSI ABI documentation
HSI: hsi_char: Remove max_data_size from sysfs
HSI: hsi: Rework hsi_event interface
HSI: hsi: Remove controllers and ports from the bus
HSI: hsi: Fix error path cleanup on client registration
HSI: hsi: Rework hsi_controller release
This patch instructs DLM to prevent an "in place" conversion, where the
lock just stays on the granted queue, and instead forces the conversion to
the back of the convert queue. This is done on upward conversions only.
This is useful in cases where, for example, a lock is frequently needed in
PR on one node, but another node needs it temporarily in EX to update it.
This may happen, for example, when the rindex is being updated by gfs2_grow.
The gfs2_grow needs to have the lock in EX, but the other nodes need to
re-read it to retrieve the updates. The glock is already granted in PR on
the non-growing nodes, so this prevents them from continually re-granting
the lock in PR, and forces the EX from gfs2_grow to go through.

flush request is issued in transaction commit code path, so looks using
