This is a new variation on the earlier RFC for tracking mlocked pages.
We now mark a mlocked page with a bit in the page flags and remove
them from the LRU. Pages get moved back when no vma that references
the page has VM_LOCKED set anymore.
This means that vmscan no longer uselessly cycles over l

Hello,
here is a bugfix to d_path. Please apply (after 2.6.20).
First, when d_path() hits a lazily unmounted mount point, it tries to
prepend the name of the lazily unmounted dentry to the path name. It

from the following path
