9d1e24928e memblock: Separate memblock_alloc_nid() and memblock_alloc_try_nid()
The former is now strict, it will fail if it cannot honor the allocation
within the node, while the later implements the previous semantic which
falls back to allocating anywhere.

c196f76fd5 memblock: NUMA allocate can now use early_pfn_map
We now provide a default (weak) implementation of memblock_nid_range()
which uses the early_pfn_map[] if CONFIG_ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP
is set. Sparc still needs to use its own method due to the way
the pages can be scattered between nodes.

This implementation is inefficient due to our main algorithm and
callback construct wanting to work on an ascending addresses bases
while early_pfn_map[] would rather work with nid's (it's unsorted
at that stage). But it should work and we can look into improving
it subsequently, possibly using arch compile options to chose a
different algorithm alltogether.

d2cd563ba8 memblock: Add arch function to control coalescing of memblock memory regions
Some archs such as ARM want to avoid coalescing accross things such
as the lowmem/highmem boundary or similar. This provides the option
to control it via an arch callback for which a weak default is provided
which always allows coalescing.

142b45a72e memblock: Add array resizing support
When one of the array gets full, we resize it. After much thinking and
a few iterations of that code, I went back to on-demand resizing using
the (new) internal memblock_find_base() function, which is pretty much what
Yinghai initially proposed, though there some differences in the details.

To work this relies on the default alloc limit being set sensibly by
the architecture.

6ed311b282 memblock: Move functions around into a more sensible order

7f219c736f memblock: split memblock_find_base() out of __memblock_alloc_base()
This will be used by the array resize code and might prove useful

cd3db0c4ca memblock: Remove rmo_size, burry it in arch/powerpc where it belongs
The RMA (RMO is a misnomer) is a concept specific to ppc64 (in fact
server ppc64 though I hijack it on embedded ppc64 for similar purposes)
and represents the area of memory that can be accessed in real mode
(aka with MMU off), or on embedded, from the exception vectors (which
is bolted in the TLB) which pretty much boils down to the same thing.

We take that out of the generic MEMBLOCK data structure and move it into
arch/powerpc where it belongs, renaming it to "RMA" while at it.

e63075a3c9 memblock: Introduce default allocation limit and use it to replace explicit ones
This introduce memblock.current_limit which is used to limit allocations
from memblock_alloc() or memblock_alloc_base(..., MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE).

The old MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE changes value from 0 to ~(u64)0 and can still
be used with memblock_alloc_base() to allocate really anywhere.

It is -no-longer- cropped to MEMBLOCK_REAL_LIMIT which disappears.

Note to archs: I'm leaving the default limit to MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE. I
strongly recommend that you ensure that you set an appropriate limit
during boot in order to guarantee that an memblock_alloc() at any time
results in something that is accessible with a simple __va().

The reason is that a subsequent patch will introduce the ability for
the array to resize itself by reallocating itself. The MEMBLOCK core will
honor the current limit when performing those allocations.

5e6f6aa1c2 memblock/arm: pfn_valid uses memblock_is_memory()
The implementation is pretty much similar. There is a -small- added
overhead by having another function call and the address shift.

If that becomes a concern, I suppose we could actually have memblock
itself expose a memblock_pfn_valid() which then ARM can use directly
with an appropriate #define...

we dump the fids on the fidlist

eda25e4616 net/9p: Implement TXATTRCREATE 9p call
TXATTRCREATE:  Prepare a fid for setting xattr value on a file system object.

 size[4] TXATTRCREATE tag[2] fid[4] name[s] attr_size[8] flags[4]
 size[4] RXATTRCREATE tag[2]

txattrcreate gets a fid pointing to xattr. This fid can later be
used to set the xattr value.

flag value is derived from set Linux setxattr. The manpage says
"The flags parameter can be used to refine the semantics of the operation.
XATTR_CREATE specifies a pure create, which fails if the named attribute
exists already. XATTR_REPLACE specifies a pure replace operation, which
fails if the named attribute does not already exist. By default (no flags),
the extended attribute will be created if need be, or will simply replace
the value if the attribute exists."

The actual setxattr operation happens when the fid is clunked. At that point
the written byte count and the attr_size specified in TXATTRCREATE should be
same otherwise an error will be returned.

TXATTRWALK: Descend a ATTR namespace

 size[4] TXATTRWALK tag[2] fid[4] newfid[4] name[s]
 size[4] RXATTRWALK tag[2] size[8]

txattrwalk gets a fid pointing to xattr. This fid can later be
used to read the xattr value. If name is NULL the fid returned
can be used to get the list of extended attribute associated to
the file system object.
