Linus Torvalds c798360cd1 Merge branch 'for-3.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu 
Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on percpu front.  Notable changes are...

   - percpu allocator now can take @gfp.  If @gfp doesn't contain
     GFP_KERNEL, it tries to allocate from what's already available to
     the allocator and a work item tries to keep the reserve around
     certain level so that these atomic allocations usually succeed.

     This will replace the ad-hoc percpu memory pool used by
     blk-throttle and also be used by the planned blkcg support for
     writeback IOs.

     Please note that I noticed a bug in how @gfp is interpreted while
     preparing this pull request and applied the fix 6ae833c7fe
     ("percpu: fix how @gfp is interpreted by the percpu allocator")
     just now.

   - percpu_ref now uses longs for percpu and global counters instead of
     ints.  It leads to more sparse packing of the percpu counters on
     64bit machines but the overhead should be negligible and this
     allows using percpu_ref for refcnting pages and in-memory objects
     directly.

   - The switching between percpu and single counter modes of a
     percpu_ref is made independent of putting the base ref and a
     percpu_ref can now optionally be initialized in single or killed
     mode.  This allows avoiding percpu shutdown latency for cases where
     the refcounted objects may be synchronously created and destroyed
     in rapid succession with only a fraction of them reaching fully
     operational status (SCSI probing does this when combined with
     blk-mq support).  It's also planned to be used to implement forced
     single mode to detect underflow more timely for debugging.

  There's a separate branch percpu/for-3.18-consistent-ops which cleans
  up the duplicate percpu accessors.  That branch causes a number of
  conflicts with s390 and other trees.  I'll send a separate pull
  request w/ resolutions once other branches are merged"
