Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge updates from Andrew Morton: - a few misc things - ocfs2 updates - the v9fs maintainers have been missing for a long time. I've taken over v9fs patch slinging. - most of MM * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (116 commits) mm,oom_reaper: check for MMF_OOM_SKIP before complaining mm/ksm: fix interaction with THP mm/memblock.c: cast constant ULLONG_MAX to phys_addr_t headers: untangle kmemleak.h from mm.h include/linux/mmdebug.h: make VM_WARN* non-rvals mm/page_isolation.c: make start_isolate_page_range() fail if already isolated mm: change return type to vm_fault_t mm, oom: remove 3% bonus for CAP_SYS_ADMIN processes mm, page_alloc: wakeup kcompactd even if kswapd cannot free more memory kernel/fork.c: detect early free of a live mm mm: make counting of list_lru_one::nr_items lockless mm/swap_state.c: make bool enable_vma_readahead and swap_vma_readahead() static block_invalidatepage(): only release page if the full page was invalidated mm: kernel-doc: add missing parameter descriptions mm/swap.c: remove @cold parameter description for release_pages() mm/nommu: remove description of alloc_vm_area zram: drop max_zpage_size and use zs_huge_class_size() zsmalloc: introduce zs_huge_class_size() mm: fix races between swapoff and flush dcache fs/direct-io.c: minor cleanups in do_blockdev_direct_IO ...
