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
