Merge tag 'mm-stable-2024-05-17-19-19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
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. - Liu Shixin has hit an I/O meltdown caused by readahead in a memory-tight memcg. Addressed in the series "Fix I/O high when memory almost met memcg limit". - In the series "mm/filemap: optimize folio adding and splitting" Kairui Song has optimized pagecache insertion, yielding ~10% performance improvement in one test. - Baoquan He has cleaned up and consolidated the early zone initialization code in the series "mm/mm_init.c: refactor free_area_init_core()". - Baoquan has also redone some MM initializatio code in the series "mm/init: minor clean up and improvement". - MM helper cleanups from Christoph Hellwig in his series "remove follow_pfn". - More cleanups from Matthew Wilcox in the series "Various page->flags cleanups". - Vlastimil Babka has contributed maintainability improvements in the series "memcg_kmem hooks refactoring". - More folio conversions and cleanups in Matthew Wilcox's series: "Convert huge_zero_page to huge_zero_folio" "khugepaged folio conversions" "Remove page_idle and page_young wrappers" "Use folio APIs in procfs" "Clean up __folio_put()" "Some cleanups for memory-failure" "Remove page_mapping()" "More folio compat code removal" - David Hildenbrand chipped in with "fs/proc/task_mmu: convert hugetlb functions to work on folis". - Code consolidation and cleanup work related to GUP's handling of hugetlbs in Peter Xu's series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2". - Rick Edgecombe has developed some fixes to stack guard gaps in the series "Cover a guard gap corner case". - Jinjiang Tu has fixed KSM's behaviour after a fork+exec in the series "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl". - Baolin Wang has implemented NUMA balancing for multi-size THPs. This is a simple first-cut implementation for now. The series is "support multi-size THP numa balancing". - Cleanups to vma handling helper functions from Matthew Wilcox in the series "Unify vma_address and vma_pgoff_address". - Some selftests maintenance work from Dev Jain in the series "selftests/mm: mremap_test: Optimizations and style fixes". - Improvements to the swapping of multi-size THPs from Ryan Roberts in the series "Swap-out mTHP without splitting". - Kefeng Wang has significantly optimized the handling of arm64's permission page faults in the series "arch/mm/fault: accelerate pagefault when badaccess" "mm: remove arch's private VM_FAULT_BADMAP/BADACCESS" - GUP cleanups from David Hildenbrand in "mm/gup: consistently call it GUP-fast". - hugetlb fault code cleanups from Vishal Moola in "Hugetlb fault path to use struct vm_fault". - selftests build fixes from John Hubbard in the series "Fix selftests/mm build without requiring "make headers"". - Memory tiering fixes/improvements from Ho-Ren (Jack) Chuang in the series "Improved Memory Tier Creation for CPUless NUMA Nodes". Fixes the initialization code so that migration between different memory types works as intended. - David Hildenbrand has improved follow_pte() and fixed an errant driver in the series "mm: follow_pte() improvements and acrn follow_pte() fixes". - David also did some cleanup work on large folio mapcounts in his series "mm: mapcount for large folios + page_mapcount() cleanups". - Folio conversions in KSM in Alex Shi's series "transfer page to folio in KSM". - Barry Song has added some sysfs stats for monitoring multi-size THP's in the series "mm: add per-order mTHP alloc and swpout counters". - Some zswap cleanups from Yosry Ahmed in the series "zswap same-filled and limit checking cleanups". - Matthew Wilcox has been looking at buffer_head code and found the documentation to be lacking. The series is "Improve buffer head documentation". - Multi-size THPs get more work, this time from Lance Yang. His series "mm/madvise: enhance lazyfreeing with mTHP in madvise_free" optimizes the freeing of these things. - Kemeng Shi has added more userspace-visible writeback instrumentation in the series "Improve visibility of writeback". - Kemeng Shi then sent some maintenance work on top in the series "Fix and cleanups to page-writeback". - Matthew Wilcox reduces mmap_lock traffic in the anon vma code in the series "Improve anon_vma scalability for anon VMAs". Intel's test bot reported an improbable 3x improvement in one test. - SeongJae Park adds some DAMON feature work in the series "mm/damon: add a DAMOS filter type for page granularity access recheck" "selftests/damon: add DAMOS quota goal test" - Also some maintenance work in the series "mm/damon/paddr: simplify page level access re-check for pageout" "mm/damon: misc fixes and improvements" - David Hildenbrand has disabled some known-to-fail selftests ni the series "selftests: mm: cow: flag vmsplice() hugetlb tests as XFAIL". - memcg metadata storage optimizations from Shakeel Butt in "memcg: reduce memory consumption by memcg stats". - DAX fixes and maintenance work from Vishal Verma in the series "dax/bus.c: Fixups for dax-bus locking"" * tag 'mm-stable-2024-05-17-19-19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (426 commits) memcg, oom: cleanup unused memcg_oom_gfp_mask and memcg_oom_order selftests/mm: hugetlb_madv_vs_map: avoid test skipping by querying hugepage size at runtime mm/hugetlb: add missing VM_FAULT_SET_HINDEX in hugetlb_wp mm/hugetlb: add missing VM_FAULT_SET_HINDEX in hugetlb_fault selftests: cgroup: add tests to verify the zswap writeback path mm: memcg: make alloc_mem_cgroup_per_node_info() return bool mm/damon/core: fix return value from damos_wmark_metric_value mm: do not update memcg stats for NR_{FILE/SHMEM}_PMDMAPPED selftests: cgroup: remove redundant enabling of memory controller Docs/mm/damon/maintainer-profile: allow posting patches based on damon/next tree Docs/mm/damon/maintainer-profile: change the maintainer's timezone from PST to PT Docs/mm/damon/design: use a list for supported filters Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: fix wrong schemes effective quota update command Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: fix wrong example of DAMOS filter matching sysfs file selftests/damon: classify tests for functionalities and regressions selftests/damon/_damon_sysfs: use 'is' instead of '==' for 'None' selftests/damon/_damon_sysfs: find sysfs mount point from /proc/mounts selftests/damon/_damon_sysfs: check errors from nr_schemes file reads mm/damon/core: initialize ->esz_bp from damos_quota_init_priv() selftests/damon: add a test for DAMOS quota goal ...
