20ae00792c proportions: add @gfp to init functions
Percpu allocator now supports allocation mask.  Add @gfp to
[flex_]proportions init functions so that !GFP_KERNEL allocation masks
can be used with them too.

This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

3310225dfc lib: proportion: lower PROP_MAX_SHIFT to 32 on 64-bit kernel
PROP_MAX_SHIFT should be set to <=32 on 64-bit box. This fixes two bugs
in the below lines of bdi_dirty_limit():

	bdi_dirty *= numerator;
	do_div(bdi_dirty, denominator);

1) divide error: do_div() only uses the lower 32 bit of the denominator,
   which may trimmed to be 0 when PROP_MAX_SHIFT > 32.

2) overflow: (bdi_dirty * numerator) could easily overflow if numerator
   used up to 48 bits, leaving only 16 bits to bdi_dirty

740969f91e locking, lib/proportions: Annotate prop_local_percpu::lock as raw
The prop_local_percpu::lock can be taken in atomic context and therefore
cannot be preempted on -rt - annotate it.

In mainline this change documents the low level nature of
the lock - otherwise there's no functional difference. Lockdep
and Sparse checking will work as usual.

reorder structure to remove 8 bytes of padding on 64 bit builds

(also removes 8 bytes from task_struct)

a42dde0415 mm: bdi: allow setting a maximum for the bdi dirty limit
Add "max_ratio" to /sys/class/bdi.  This indicates the maximum percentage of
the global dirty threshold allocated to this bdi.

[mszeredi@suse.cz]

 - fix parsing in max_ratio_store().
 - export bdi_set_max_ratio() to modules
 - limit bdi_dirty with bdi->max_ratio
 - document new sysfs attribute

145ca25eb2 lib: floating proportions
Given a set of objects, floating proportions aims to efficiently give the
proportional 'activity' of a single item as compared to the whole set. Where
'activity' is a measure of a temporal property of the items.

It is efficient in that it need not inspect any other items of the set
in order to provide the answer. It is not even needed to know how many
other items there are.

It has one parameter, and that is the period of 'time' over which the
'activity' is measured.
