[ Upstream commit b8e6d7ce50673c39514921ac61f7af00bbb58b87 ]

After commit: 83762cb5c7c4 ("dax: Kill DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT") the pmem/
directory is not needed anymore and Makefile changes were made
accordingly in this commit, but there is a Makefile and pmem.c in pmem/
which are now stale and pmem.c is empty, remove them.

Fixes: 83762cb5c7c4 ("dax: Kill DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT")

<title>device-dax: correct pgoff align in dax_set_mapping()</title>

pgoff should be aligned using ALIGN_DOWN() instead of ALIGN().  Otherwise,
vmf-&gt;address not aligned to fault_size will be aligned to the next
alignment, that can result in memory failure getting the wrong address.

It's a subtle situation that only can be observed in
page_mapped_in_vma() after the page is page fault handled by
dev_dax_huge_fault.  Generally, there is little chance to perform
page_mapped_in_vma in dev-dax's page unless in specific error injection
to the dax device to trigger an MCE - memory-failure.  In that case,
page_mapped_in_vma() will be triggered to determine which task is
accessing the failure address and kill that task in the end.


We used self-developed dax device (which is 2M aligned mapping) , to
perform error injection to random address.  It turned out that error
injected to non-2M-aligned address was causing endless MCE until panic.
Because page_mapped_in_vma() kept resulting wrong address and the task
accessing the failure address was never killed properly:

It took us several weeks to pinpoint this problem,  but we eventually
used bpftrace to trace the page fault and mce address and successfully
identified the issue.

<title>mm: make range-to-target_node lookup facility a part of numa_memblks</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1b5695b02444660297cc54cab44f123ff28de2cc</id>
<content type='text'>
The x86 implementation of range-to-target_node lookup (i.e. 
phys_to_target_node() and memory_add_physaddr_to_nid()) relies on
numa_memblks.

Since numa_memblks are now part of the generic code, move these functions
from x86 to mm/numa_memblks.c and select CONFIG_NUMA_KEEP_MEMINFO when
CONFIG_NUMA_MEMBLKS=y for dax and cxl.

<title>mm/dax: dump start address in fault handler</title>

Patch series "mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds", v5.

Dax supports pud pages for a while, but mprotect on puds was missing since
the start.  This series tries to fix that by providing pud handling in
mprotect().  The goal is to add more types of pud mappings like hugetlb or
pfnmaps.  This series paves way for it by fixing known pud entries.

Considering nobody reported this until when I looked at those other types
of pud mappings, I am thinking maybe it doesn't need to be a fix for
stable and this may not need to be backported.  I would guess whoever
cares about mprotect() won't care 1G dax puds yet, vice versa.  I hope
fixing that in new kernels would be fine, but I'm open to suggestions.

There're a few small things changed to teach mprotect work on PUDs.  E.g. 
it will need to start with dropping NUMA_HUGE_PTE_UPDATES which may stop
making sense when there can be more than one type of huge pte.  OTOH,
we'll also need to push the mmu notifiers from pmd to pud layers, which
might need some attention but so far I think it's safe.  For such details,
please refer to each patch's commit message.

The mprotect() pud process should be straightforward, as I kept it as
simple as possible.  There's no NUMA handled as dax simply doesn't support
that.  There's also no userfault involvements as file memory (even if work
with userfault-wp async mode) will need to split a pud, so pud entry
doesn't need to yet know userfault's existance (but hugetlb entries will;
that's also for later).


This patch (of 7):

Currently the dax fault handler dumps the vma range when dynamic debugging
enabled.  That's mostly not useful.  Dump the (aligned) address instead
with the order info.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of driver core changes for 6.11-rc1.

  Lots of stuff in here, with not a huge diffstat, but apis are evolving
  which required lots of files to be touched. Highlights of the changes
  in here are:

   - platform remove callback api final fixups (Uwe took many releases
     to get here, finally!)

   - Rust bindings for basic firmware apis and initial driver-core
     interactions.

     It's not all that useful for a "write a whole driver in rust" type
     of thing, but the firmware bindings do help out the phy rust
     drivers, and the driver core bindings give a solid base on which
     others can start their work.

     There is still a long way to go here before we have a multitude of
     rust drivers being added, but it's a great first step.

   - driver core const api changes.

     This reached across all bus types, and there are some fix-ups for
     some not-common bus types that linux-next and 0-day testing shook
     out.

     This work is being done to help make the rust bindings more safe,
     as well as the C code, moving toward the end-goal of allowing us to
     put driver structures into read-only memory. We aren't there yet,
     but are getting closer.

   - minor devres cleanups and fixes found by code inspection

   - arch_topology minor changes

   - other minor driver core cleanups

  All of these have been in linux-next for a very long time with no
  reported problems"

<id>urn:sha1:d69d804845985c29ab5be5a4b3b1f4787893daf8</id>
<content type='text'>
In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be
changed, so change the function callback to be a const *.  This is one
step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct
device_driver in read-only memory.

Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified
to handle this properly.  This does entail switching some container_of()
calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *.

For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in
the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at
this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.)
That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their
struct device * in read-only-memory.

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:
 "The usual shower of singleton fixes and minor series all over MM,
  documented (hopefully adequately) in the respective changelogs.
  Notable series include:

   - Lucas Stach has provided some page-mapping cleanup/consolidation/
     maintainability work in the series "mm/treewide: Remove pXd_huge()
     API".

   - In the series "Allow migrate on protnone reference with
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy", Donet Tom has optimized mempolicy's
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY mode, yielding almost doubled performance in
     one test.

   - In their series "Memory allocation profiling" Kent Overstreet and
     Suren Baghdasaryan have contributed a means of determining (via
     /proc/allocinfo) whereabouts in the kernel memory is being
     allocated: number of calls and amount of memory.

   - Matthew Wilcox has provided the series "Various significant MM
     patches" which does a number of rather unrelated things, but in
     largely similar code sites.

   - In his series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene"
     Johannes Weiner has fixed the page allocator's handling of
     migratetype requests, with resulting improvements in compaction
     efficiency.

   - In the series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent"
     Baolin Wang has fixed a hugetlb migration issue, which should
     improve hugetlb allocation reliability.

<title>dax/bus.c: use the right locking mode (read vs write) in size_show</title>

In size_show(), the dax_dev_rwsem only needs a read lock, but was
acquiring a write lock.  Change it to down_read_interruptible() so it
doesn't unnecessarily hold a write lock.
