Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Nick Piggin's "shoot lazy tlbs" series, to improve the peformance of
   switching from a user process to a kernel thread.

 - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang, Zhang Peng and Pankaj
   Raghav.

 - zsmalloc performance improvements from Sergey Senozhatsky.

 - Yue Zhao has found and fixed some data race issues around the
   alteration of memcg userspace tunables.

 - VFS rationalizations from Christoph Hellwig:
     - removal of most of the callers of write_one_page()
     - make __filemap_get_folio()'s return value more useful

 - Luis Chamberlain has changed tmpfs so it no longer requires swap
   backing. Use `mount -o noswap'.

 - Qi Zheng has made the slab shrinkers operate locklessly, providing
   some scalability benefits.

 - Keith Busch has improved dmapool's performance, making part of its
   operations O(1) rather than O(n).

 - Peter Xu adds the UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED feature to userfaultd,
   permitting userspace to wr-protect anon memory unpopulated ptes.

 - Kirill Shutemov has changed MAX_ORDER's meaning to be inclusive
   rather than exclusive, and has fixed a bunch of errors which were
   caused by its unintuitive meaning.

 - Axel Rasmussen give userfaultfd the UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP feature,
   which causes minor faults to install a write-protected pte.

 - Vlastimil Babka has done some maintenance work on vma_merge():
   cleanups to the kernel code and improvements to our userspace test
   harness.

 - Cleanups to do_fault_around() by Lorenzo Stoakes.

 - Mike Rapoport has moved a lot of initialization code out of various
   mm/ files and into mm/mm_init.c.

 - Lorenzo Stoakes removd vmf_insert_mixed_prot(), which was added for
   DRM, but DRM doesn't use it any more.

 - Lorenzo has also coverted read_kcore() and vread() to use iterators
   and has thereby removed the use of bounce buffers in some cases.

 - Lorenzo has also contributed further cleanups of vma_merge().

 - Chaitanya Prakash provides some fixes to the mmap selftesting code.

 - Matthew Wilcox changes xfs and afs so they no longer take sleeping
   locks in -&gt;map_page(), a step towards RCUification of pagefaults.

 - Suren Baghdasaryan has improved mmap_lock scalability by switching to
   per-VMA locking.

 - Frederic Weisbecker has reworked the percpu cache draining so that it
   no longer causes latency glitches on cpu isolated workloads.

 - Mike Rapoport cleans up and corrects the ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER Kconfig
   logic.

 - Liu Shixin has changed zswap's initialization so we no longer waste a
   chunk of memory if zswap is not being used.

 - Yosry Ahmed has improved the performance of memcg statistics
   flushing.

 - David Stevens has fixed several issues involving khugepaged,
   userfaultfd and shmem.

 - Christoph Hellwig has provided some cleanup work to zram's IO-related
   code paths.

   selftests.

 - Yosry Ahmed has fixed an issue around memcg's page recalim
   accounting.

   pages.

   per-process and per-cgroup basis.

<content type='text'>
Use a folio throughout.  Does not support large folios due to
an array sized for MAX_BUF_PER_PAGE, but it does remove a few
calls to compound_head().

This particular combination of flags is used by most filesystems
in their -&gt;write_begin method, although it does find use in a
few other places.  Before folios, it warranted its own function
(grab_cache_page_write_begin()), but I think that just having specialised
flags is enough.  It certainly helps the few places that have been
converted from grab_cache_page_write_begin() to __filemap_get_folio().

Instead of returning NULL for all errors, distinguish between:

 - no entry found and not asked to allocated (-ENOENT)
 - failed to allocate memory (-ENOMEM)
 - would block (-EAGAIN)

so that callers don't have to guess the error based on the passed in
flags.

Also pass through the error through the direct callers: filemap_get_folio,
filemap_lock_folio filemap_grab_folio and filemap_get_incore_folio.

Convert mext_page_double_lock() to use folios.  This change saves 146
bytes of kernel text.  It also removes 6 calls to compound_head() and 2
calls to folio_file_page().

Patch series "Removing the try_to_release_page() wrapper", v3.

This patchset replaces the remaining calls of try_to_release_page() with
the folio equivalent: filemap_release_folio().  This allows us to remove
the wrapper.


This patch (of 4):

Convert move_extent_per_page() to use folios.  This change removes 5 calls
to compound_head() and is in preparation for the removal of the
try_to_release_page() wrapper.

Factor out ext4_free_ext_path() to free extent path. As after previous patch
'ext4_ext_drop_refs()' is only used in 'extents.c', so make it static.

<content type='text'>
According to Jan Kara's suggestion:
"The use in mext_check_coverage() can be actually removed
- get_ext_path() -&gt; ext4_find_extent() takes care of dropping the references."
So remove unnecessary call ext4_ext_drop_refs() in mext_check_coverage().

Modify the error returns for two file types that can't be defragged to
more clearly communicate those restrictions to a caller.  When the
defrag code is applied to swap files, return -ETXTBSY, and when applied
to quota files, return -EOPNOTSUPP.  Move an extent tree search whose
results are only occasionally required to the site always requiring them
for improved efficiency.  Address a few typos.

This is a "weak" conversion which converts straight back to using pages.
A full conversion should be performed at some point, hopefully by
someone familiar with the filesystem.
