Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge third patch-bomb from Andrew Morton: "I'm pretty much done for -rc1 now: - the rest of MM, basically - lib/ updates - checkpatch, epoll, hfs, fatfs, ptrace, coredump, exit - cpu_mask simplifications - kexec, rapidio, MAINTAINERS etc, etc. - more dma-mapping cleanups/simplifications from hch" * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (109 commits) MAINTAINERS: add/fix git URLs for various subsystems mm: memcontrol: add "sock" to cgroup2 memory.stat mm: memcontrol: basic memory statistics in cgroup2 memory controller mm: memcontrol: do not uncharge old page in page cache replacement Documentation: cgroup: add memory.swap.{current,max} description mm: free swap cache aggressively if memcg swap is full mm: vmscan: do not scan anon pages if memcg swap limit is hit swap.h: move memcg related stuff to the end of the file mm: memcontrol: replace mem_cgroup_lruvec_online with mem_cgroup_online mm: vmscan: pass memcg to get_scan_count() mm: memcontrol: charge swap to cgroup2 mm: memcontrol: clean up alloc, online, offline, free functions mm: memcontrol: flatten struct cg_proto mm: memcontrol: rein in the CONFIG space madness net: drop tcp_memcontrol.c mm: memcontrol: introduce CONFIG_MEMCG_LEGACY_KMEM mm: memcontrol: allow to disable kmem accounting for cgroup2 mm: memcontrol: account "kmem" consumers in cgroup2 memory controller mm: memcontrol: move kmem accounting code to CONFIG_MEMCG mm: memcontrol: separate kmem code from legacy tcp accounting code ...
