Merge tag 'mm-stable-2022-08-03' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: "Most of the MM queue. A few things are still pending. Liam's maple tree rework didn't make it. This has resulted in a few other minor patch series being held over for next time. Multi-gen LRU still isn't merged as we were waiting for mapletree to stabilize. The current plan is to merge MGLRU into -mm soon and to later reintroduce mapletree, with a view to hopefully getting both into 6.1-rc1. Summary: - The usual batches of cleanups from Baoquan He, Muchun Song, Miaohe Lin, Yang Shi, Anshuman Khandual and Mike Rapoport - Some kmemleak fixes from Patrick Wang and Waiman Long - DAMON updates from SeongJae Park - memcg debug/visibility work from Roman Gushchin - vmalloc speedup from Uladzislau Rezki - more folio conversion work from Matthew Wilcox - enhancements for coherent device memory mapping from Alex Sierra - addition of shared pages tracking and CoW support for fsdax, from Shiyang Ruan - hugetlb optimizations from Mike Kravetz - Mel Gorman has contributed some pagealloc changes to improve latency and realtime behaviour. - mprotect soft-dirty checking has been improved by Peter Xu - Many other singleton patches all over the place" [ XFS merge from hell as per Darrick Wong in https://lore.kernel.org/all/YshKnxb4VwXycPO8@magnolia/ ] * tag 'mm-stable-2022-08-03' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (282 commits) tools/testing/selftests/vm/hmm-tests.c: fix build mm: Kconfig: fix typo mm: memory-failure: convert to pr_fmt() mm: use is_zone_movable_page() helper hugetlbfs: fix inaccurate comment in hugetlbfs_statfs() hugetlbfs: cleanup some comments in inode.c hugetlbfs: remove unneeded header file hugetlbfs: remove unneeded hugetlbfs_ops forward declaration hugetlbfs: use helper macro SZ_1{K,M} mm: cleanup is_highmem() mm/hmm: add a test for cross device private faults selftests: add soft-dirty into run_vmtests.sh selftests: soft-dirty: add test for mprotect mm/mprotect: fix soft-dirty check in can_change_pte_writable() mm: memcontrol: fix potential oom_lock recursion deadlock mm/gup.c: fix formatting in check_and_migrate_movable_page() xfs: fail dax mount if reflink is enabled on a partition mm/memcontrol.c: remove the redundant updating of stats_flush_threshold userfaultfd: don't fail on unrecognized features hugetlb_cgroup: fix wrong hugetlb cgroup numa stat ...

+Memory Management Guide
+=======================
+
+This is a guide to understanding the memory management subsystem
+of Linux. If you are looking for advice on simply allocating memory,
+see the :ref:`memory_allocation`. For controlling and tuning guides,
+see the :doc:`admin guide <../admin-guide/mm/index>`.

+Legacy Documentation
+====================
+
+This is a collection of older documents about the Linux memory management
+(MM) subsystem internals with different level of details ranging from
+notes and mailing list responses for elaborating descriptions of data
+structures and algorithms. It should all be integrated nicely into the
+above structured documentation, or deleted if it has served its purpose.
