Merge branch 'akpm' (incoming from Andrew)
Merge first patch-bomb from Andrew Morton: - a couple of misc things - inotify/fsnotify work from Jan - ocfs2 updates (partial) - about half of MM * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (117 commits) mm/migrate: remove unused function, fail_migrate_page() mm/migrate: remove putback_lru_pages, fix comment on putback_movable_pages mm/migrate: correct failure handling if !hugepage_migration_support() mm/migrate: add comment about permanent failure path mm, page_alloc: warn for non-blockable __GFP_NOFAIL allocation failure mm: compaction: reset scanner positions immediately when they meet mm: compaction: do not mark unmovable pageblocks as skipped in async compaction mm: compaction: detect when scanners meet in isolate_freepages mm: compaction: reset cached scanner pfn's before reading them mm: compaction: encapsulate defer reset logic mm: compaction: trace compaction begin and end memcg, oom: lock mem_cgroup_print_oom_info sched: add tracepoints related to NUMA task migration mm: numa: do not automatically migrate KSM pages mm: numa: trace tasks that fail migration due to rate limiting mm: numa: limit scope of lock for NUMA migrate rate limiting mm: numa: make NUMA-migrate related functions static lib/show_mem.c: show num_poisoned_pages when oom mm/hwpoison: add '#' to hwpoison_inject mm/memblock: use WARN_ONCE when MAX_NUMNODES passed as input parameter ...
