Docs/damon/maintainer-profile: add links in place
maintainer-profile.rst for DAMON separates the links and target definitions. It is not really necessary, and only makes the readability worse. At least the definitions need the section title (say, "References"). Just add the links in place on the doc.

- 875fa64577da ("mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: fix race with speculative PFN
walkers") is known to cause a performance regression (https://lore.kernel.org/all/3acefad9-96e5-4681-8014-827d6be71c7a@linux.ibm.com/T/#mfa809800a7862fb5bdf834c6f71a3a5113eb83ff). Yu has a fix which I'll send along later via the hotfixes branch. - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code. These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels. - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My bad. - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to folio_alloc_mpol()" - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability of cgroup writeback" - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache index". - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing. - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is "Restructure va_high_addr_switch". - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to simplify code". - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection". - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull. - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying. - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm: zswap: trivial folio conversions". - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first", Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end objective of full support of large folio swapin/out. - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code. - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic improvements in pagefault latency are realized. - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to fs/proc/internal.h". - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually". - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"". - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers and utilize them". - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark. It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless all CPUs are pegged. - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes". - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that thing. - Is anyone reading this stuff? If so, email me! - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory". This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM. - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit function". - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()" David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially modernizing its use of pageframe fields. - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()". - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline() pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks. - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio" implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large folio userspace copying. - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park. - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does that. - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault folio isolation + checks under PTL". - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various readahead quirks". - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's self testing code. - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable. - Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM. - Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1" - Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim" adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file. - The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to monitor and handle this situation. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing. - SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements" does those things. - In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock" Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory utilization. - Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block. - Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to /proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series is "query VMAs from /proc/<pid>/maps". - In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information related to multisize THP splitting. - Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits userspace to use all available huge page sizes. - In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and not very useful feature from slab fault injection. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYKAB0WIQTTMBEPP41GrTpTJgfdBJ7gKXxAjgUCZp2C+QAKCRDdBJ7gKXxA joTkAQDvjqOoFStqk4GU3OXMYB7WCU/ZQMFG0iuu1EEwTVDZ4QEA8CnG7seek1R3 xEoo+vw0sWWeLV3qzsxnCA1BJ8cTJA8= =z0Lf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mm-stable-2024-07-21-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code.

Docs/mm/damon/design: remove 'Programmable Modules' section in favor of 'Modules' section
'Programmable Modules' section provides high level descriptions of the DAMON API-based kernel modules layer. But 'Modules' section, which is at the end of the document, provides every detail about the layer including that of 'Programmable Modules' section. Since the brief summary of the layers at the beginning of the document has a link to the 'Modules' section, browsing to the section is not that difficult. Remove 'Programmable Modules' section in favor of 'Modules' section and reducing duplicates.

This patch (of 9): Fix two typos. The first one is just a simple typo: s/accurach/accuracy/ The second one is made by the author being out of their mind. 'Region Based Sampling' section of the doc is mistakenly calling the access frequency counter of region as 'nr_regions'. Fix it with the correct name, 'nr_accesses'.

Docs/mm/damon/maintainer-profile: document DAMON community meetups
DAMON bi-weekly community meetup series has continued since 2022-08-15 for community members who prefer synchronous chat over asynchronous mails. Recently I got some feedbacks about the series from a few people. They told me the series is helpful for understanding of the project and particiapting to the development, but it could be further better in terms of the visibility. Based on that, I started sending meeting reminder for every occurrence. For people who don't subscribe the mailing list, however, adding an announcement on the official document could be helpful. Document the series on DAMON maintainer's profile for the purpose.

Docs/mm/damon/maintainer-profile: introduce HacKerMaiL
Patch series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool and community meetup series", v2. There is a mailing tool that developed and maintained by DAMON maintainer aiming to support DAMON community. Also there are DAMON community meetup series. Both are known to have rooms of improvements in terms of their visibility. Document those on the maintainer's profile document. This patch (of 2): Since DAMON was merged into mainline, I periodically received some questions around DAMON's mailing lists based workflow. The workflow is not different from the normal ones that well documented, but it is also true that it is not always easy and familiar for everyone. I personally overcame it by developing and using a simple tool, named HacKerMaiL (hkml)[1]. Based on my experience, I believe it is matured enough to be used for simple workflows like that of DAMON. Actually some DAMON contributors and Linux kernel developers other than myself told me they are using the tool. As DAMON maintainer, I also believe helping new DAMON community members onboarding to the worklow is one of the most important parts of my responsibilities. For the reason, the tool is announced[2] to support DAMON community. To further increasing the visibility of the fact, document the tool and the support plan on DAMON maintainer's profile.

Docs/mm/index: move allocation profiling document to unsorted documents chapter
The memory allocation profiling document was added to the bottom of the new outline. Apparently it was not decided by well-defined guidelines or a thorough discussions. Rather than that, it was added there just because there was no place for such unsorted documents. Now there is the chapter. Move the document to the new place.

Docs/mm/index: rename 'Legacy Documentation' to 'Unsorted Documentation'
The intention of 'Legacy Documentation' chapter is to keep the old
documents that not yet sorted into the new outline, and encourage new
documents to be integrated in the new outline from the beginning.
However, the new outline will take some more time to be completed. It
has started about two years ago, and still many parts are not yet
written. Also, there is no clear guidline for placing each document for
all cases, for not only the 'legacy' documents, but also for new
documents. For example, memory allocation profiling document has been
added to the bottom of the new outline. Apparently it was not following
some well-defined guideliens or a result of a discussion.
Furthermore, the title ("legacy") makes people feel the documents on the
chapter might be outdated or not actively maintained.
Rename 'Legacy Documentation' to 'Unsorted Documentation' and remove the
description saying it is for 'older' documents. After this change, new
documents that not clear enough where it should be placed on the new
outline can be added on the chapter while well-defined guidelines or
discussion for the new outline is made.

Networking changes for 6.10.
Core & protocols
----------------
- Complete rework of garbage collection of AF_UNIX sockets.
AF_UNIX is prone to forming reference count cycles due to fd passing
functionality. New method based on Tarjan's Strongly Connected Components
algorithm should be both faster and remove a lot of workarounds
we accumulated over the years.
- Add TCP fraglist GRO support, allowing chaining multiple TCP packets
and forwarding them together. Useful for small switches / routers which
lack basic checksum offload in some scenarios (e.g. PPPoE).
- Support using SMP threads for handling packet backlog i.e. packet
processing from software interfaces and old drivers which don't
use NAPI. This helps move the processing out of the softirq jumble.
- Continue work of converting from rtnl lock to RCU protection.
Don't require rtnl lock when reading: IPv6 routing FIB, IPv6 address
labels, netdev threaded NAPI sysfs files, bonding driver's sysfs files,
MPLS devconf, IPv4 FIB rules, netns IDs, tcp metrics, TC Qdiscs,
neighbor entries, ARP entries via ioctl(SIOCGARP), a lot of the link
information available via rtnetlink.
- Small optimizations from Eric to UDP wake up handling, memory accounting,
RPS/RFS implementation, TCP packet sizing etc.
- Allow direct page recycling in the bulk API used by XDP, for +2% PPS.
- Support peek with an offset on TCP sockets.
- Add MPTCP APIs for querying last time packets were received/sent/acked,
and whether MPTCP "upgrade" succeeded on a TCP socket.
- Add intra-node communication shortcut to improve SMC performance.
- Add IPv6 (and IPv{4,6}-over-IPv{4,6}) support to the GTP protocol driver.
- Add HSR-SAN (RedBOX) mode of operation to the HSR protocol driver.
- Add reset reasons for tracing what caused a TCP reset to be sent.
- Introduce direction attribute for xfrm (IPSec) states.
State can be used either for input or output packet processing.
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code
--------------------------------------------
- Add bitmap_{read,write}(), bitmap_size(), expose BYTES_TO_BITS().
This required touch-ups and renaming of a few existing users.
- Add Endian-dependent __counted_by_{le,be} annotations.
- Make building selftests "quieter" by printing summaries like
"CC object.o" rather than full commands with all the arguments.
Netfilter
---------
- Use GFP_KERNEL to clone elements, to deal better with OOM situations
and avoid failures in the .commit step.
BPF
---
- Add eBPF JIT for ARCv2 CPUs.
- Support attaching kprobe BPF programs through kprobe_multi link in
a session mode, meaning, a BPF program is attached to both function entry
and return, the entry program can decide if the return program gets
executed and the entry program can share u64 cookie value with return
program. "Session mode" is a common use-case for tetragon and bpftrace.
- Add the ability to specify and retrieve BPF cookie for raw tracepoint
programs in order to ease migration from classic to raw tracepoints.
- Add an internal-only BPF per-CPU instruction for resolving per-CPU
memory addresses and implement support in x86, ARM64 and RISC-V JITs.
This allows inlining functions which need to access per-CPU state.
- Optimize x86 BPF JIT's emit_mov_imm64, and add support for various
atomics in bpf_arena which can be JITed as a single x86 instruction.
Support BPF arena on ARM64.
- Add a new bpf_wq API for deferring events and refactor process-context
bpf_timer code to keep common code where possible.
- Harden the BPF verifier's and/or/xor value tracking.
- Introduce crypto kfuncs to let BPF programs call kernel crypto APIs.
- Support bpf_tail_call_static() helper for BPF programs with GCC 13.
- Add bpf_preempt_{disable,enable}() kfuncs in order to allow a BPF
program to have code sections where preemption is disabled.
Driver API
----------
- Skip software TC processing completely if all installed rules are
marked as HW-only, instead of checking the HW-only flag rule by rule.
- Add support for configuring PoE (Power over Ethernet), similar to
the already existing support for PoDL (Power over Data Line) config.
- Initial bits of a queue control API, for now allowing a single queue
to be reset without disturbing packet flow to other queues.
- Common (ethtool) statistics for hardware timestamping.
Tests and tooling
-----------------
- Remove the need to create a config file to run the net forwarding tests
so that a naive "make run_tests" can exercise them.
- Define a method of writing tests which require an external endpoint
to communicate with (to send/receive data towards the test machine).
Add a few such tests.

from correctness tests, and iron out issues found by running them
"on every commit".

nftables, team driver, bonding interfaces, vlan interfaces, VF info,
TC u32 mark, TC police action.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:
- Complete rework of garbage collection of AF_UNIX sockets.
AF_UNIX is prone to forming reference count cycles due to fd
passing functionality. New method based on Tarjan's Strongly
Connected Components algorithm should be both faster and remove a
lot of workarounds we accumulated over the years.
- Add TCP fraglist GRO support, allowing chaining multiple TCP
packets and forwarding them together. Useful for small switches /
routers which lack basic checksum offload in some scenarios (e.g.
PPPoE).
- Support using SMP threads for handling packet backlog i.e. packet
processing from software interfaces and old drivers which don't use
NAPI. This helps move the processing out of the softirq jumble.
- Continue work of converting from rtnl lock to RCU protection.
Don't require rtnl lock when reading: IPv6 routing FIB, IPv6
address labels, netdev threaded NAPI sysfs files, bonding driver's
sysfs files, MPLS devconf, IPv4 FIB rules, netns IDs, tcp metrics,
TC Qdiscs, neighbor entries, ARP entries via ioctl(SIOCGARP), a lot
of the link information available via rtnetlink.
- Small optimizations from Eric to UDP wake up handling, memory
accounting, RPS/RFS implementation, TCP packet sizing etc.
- Allow direct page recycling in the bulk API used by XDP, for +2%
PPS.
- Support peek with an offset on TCP sockets.
- Add MPTCP APIs for querying last time packets were received/sent/acked
and whether MPTCP "upgrade" succeeded on a TCP socket.
- Add intra-node communication shortcut to improve SMC performance.
- Add IPv6 (and IPv{4,6}-over-IPv{4,6}) support to the GTP protocol
driver.
- Add HSR-SAN (RedBOX) mode of operation to the HSR protocol driver.
- Add reset reasons for tracing what caused a TCP reset to be sent.
- Introduce direction attribute for xfrm (IPSec) states. State can be
used either for input or output packet processing.
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:
- Add bitmap_{read,write}(), bitmap_size(), expose BYTES_TO_BITS().
This required touch-ups and renaming of a few existing users.
- Add Endian-dependent __counted_by_{le,be} annotations.
- Make building selftests "quieter" by printing summaries like
"CC object.o" rather than full commands with all the arguments.
Netfilter:
- Use GFP_KERNEL to clone elements, to deal better with OOM
situations and avoid failures in the .commit step.
BPF:
- Add eBPF JIT for ARCv2 CPUs.
- Support attaching kprobe BPF programs through kprobe_multi link in
a session mode, meaning, a BPF program is attached to both function
entry and return, the entry program can decide if the return
program gets executed and the entry program can share u64 cookie
value with return program. "Session mode" is a common use-case for
tetragon and bpftrace.
- Add the ability to specify and retrieve BPF cookie for raw
tracepoint programs in order to ease migration from classic to raw
tracepoints.
- Add an internal-only BPF per-CPU instruction for resolving per-CPU
memory addresses and implement support in x86, ARM64 and RISC-V
JITs. This allows inlining functions which need to access per-CPU
state.
- Optimize x86 BPF JIT's emit_mov_imm64, and add support for various
atomics in bpf_arena which can be JITed as a single x86
instruction. Support BPF arena on ARM64.
- Add a new bpf_wq API for deferring events and refactor
process-context bpf_timer code to keep common code where possible.
- Harden the BPF verifier's and/or/xor value tracking.
- Introduce crypto kfuncs to let BPF programs call kernel crypto
APIs.
- Support bpf_tail_call_static() helper for BPF programs with GCC 13.
- Add bpf_preempt_{disable,enable}() kfuncs in order to allow a BPF
program to have code sections where preemption is disabled.
Driver API:
- Skip software TC processing completely if all installed rules are
marked as HW-only, instead of checking the HW-only flag rule by
rule.
- Add support for configuring PoE (Power over Ethernet), similar to
the already existing support for PoDL (Power over Data Line)
config.
- Initial bits of a queue control API, for now allowing a single
queue to be reset without disturbing packet flow to other queues.
- Common (ethtool) statistics for hardware timestamping.
Tests and tooling:
- Remove the need to create a config file to run the net forwarding
tests so that a naive "make run_tests" can exercise them.
- Define a method of writing tests which require an external endpoint
to communicate with (to send/receive data towards the test
machine). Add a few such tests.
- Create a shared code library for writing Python tests. Expose the
YAML Netlink library from tools/ to the tests for easy Netlink
access.
- Move netfilter tests under net/, extend them, separate performance
tests from correctness tests, and iron out issues found by running
them "on every commit".
- Refactor BPF selftests to use common network helpers.
- Further work filling in YAML definitions of Netlink messages for:
nftables, team driver, bonding interfaces, vlan interfaces, VF
info, TC u32 mark, TC police action.

to cover arrays of scalars rather than just nests.

Docs/mm/damon/maintainer-profile: allow posting patches based on damon/next tree
The document mentions any patches for review should based on mm-unstable instead of damon/next. It should be the recommended process, but sometimes patches based on damon/next could be posted for some reasons. Actually, the DAMON-based tiered memory management patchset[1] was written on top of 'young page' DAMOS filter patchset, which was in damon/next tree as of the writing. Allow such case and just ask such things to be clearly specified.

mm: fix race between __split_huge_pmd_locked() and GUP-fast
__split_huge_pmd_locked() can be called for a present THP, devmap or
(non-present) migration entry. It calls pmdp_invalidate() unconditionally
on the pmdp and only determines if it is present or not based on the
returned old pmd. This is a problem for the migration entry case because
pmd_mkinvalid(), called by pmdp_invalidate() must only be called for a
present pmd.
On arm64 at least, pmd_mkinvalid() will mark the pmd such that any future
call to pmd_present() will return true. And therefore any lockless
pgtable walker could see the migration entry pmd in this state and start
interpretting the fields as if it were present, leading to BadThings (TM).
GUP-fast appears to be one such lockless pgtable walker.
x86 does not suffer the above problem, but instead pmd_mkinvalid() will
corrupt the offset field of the swap entry within the swap pte. See link
below for discussion of that problem.
Fix all of this by only calling pmdp_invalidate() for a present pmd. And
for good measure let's add a warning to all implementations of
pmdp_invalidate[_ad](). I've manually reviewed all other
pmdp_invalidate[_ad]() call sites and believe all others to be conformant.
This is a theoretical bug found during code review. I don't have any test
case to trigger it in practice.

mm: track mapcount of large folios in single value
Let's track the mapcount of large folios in a single value. The mapcount of a large folio currently corresponds to the sum of the entire mapcount and all page mapcounts. This sum is what we actually want to know in folio_mapcount() and it is also sufficient for implementing folio_mapped(). With PTE-mapped THP becoming more important and more widely used, we want to avoid looping over all pages of a folio just to obtain the mapcount of large folios. The comment "In the common case, avoid the loop when no pages mapped by PTE" in folio_total_mapcount() does no longer hold for mTHP that are always mapped by PTE. Further, we are planning on using folio_mapcount() more frequently, and might even want to remove page mapcounts for large folios in some kernel configs. Therefore, allow for reading the mapcount of large folios efficiently and atomically without looping over any pages. Maintain the mapcount also for hugetlb pages for simplicity. Use the new mapcount to implement folio_mapcount() and folio_mapped(). Make page_mapped() simply call folio_mapped(). We can now get rid of folio_large_is_mapped(). _nr_pages_mapped is now only used in rmap code and for debugging purposes. Keep folio_nr_pages_mapped() around, but document that its use should be limited to rmap internals and debugging purposes. This change implies one additional atomic add/sub whenever mapping/unmapping (parts of) a large folio. As we now batch RMAP operations for PTE-mapped THP during fork(), during unmap/zap, and when PTE-remapping a PMD-mapped THP, and we adjust the large mapcount for a PTE batch only once, the added overhead in the common case is small. Only when unmapping individual pages of a large folio (e.g., during COW), the overhead might be bigger in comparison, but it's essentially one additional atomic operation. Note that before the new mapcount would overflow, already our refcount would overflow: each mapping requires a folio reference. Extend the focumentation of folio_mapcount().

mm,page_owner: fix refcount imbalance
Current code does not contemplate scenarios were an allocation and free
operation on the same pages do not handle it in the same amount at once.
To give an example, page_alloc_exact(), where we will allocate a page of
enough order to stafisfy the size request, but we will free the remainings
right away.
In the above example, we will increment the stack_record refcount only
once, but we will decrease it the same number of times as number of unused
pages we have to free. This will lead to a warning because of refcount
imbalance.
Fix this by recording the number of base pages in the refcount field.

net: remove gfp_mask from napi_alloc_skb()
__napi_alloc_skb() is napi_alloc_skb() with the added flexibility of choosing gfp_mask. This is a NAPI function, so GFP_ATOMIC is implied. The only practical choice the caller has is whether to set __GFP_NOWARN. But that's a false choice, too, allocation failures in atomic context will happen, and printing warnings in logs, effectively for a packet drop, is both too much and very likely non-actionable. This leads me to a conclusion that most uses of napi_alloc_skb() are simply misguided, and should use __GFP_NOWARN in the first place. We also have a "standard" way of reporting allocation failures via the queue stat API (qstats::rx-alloc-fail). The direct motivation for this patch is that one of the drivers used at Meta calls napi_alloc_skb() (so prior to this patch without __GFP_NOWARN), and the resulting OOM warning is the top networking warning in our fleet.

- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series "mm:
zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is hotplugged
as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving policy
wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion rather
than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory environments
appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the process
has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown situations.
The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings" Ryan
Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's series
"Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page faults.
He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction test",
Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess in
our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing data
caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides dramatic
improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during certain
userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability improvements
in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It realizes a 12x
improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging of
large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages() to
an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which are
configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM Selftests".
- Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
the individual changelogs for details.

Docs/mm/damon/design: remove the details for pageout as paddr doesn't use MADV_PAGEOUT
The doc needs a fix. As only in the case of virtual address, we are calling madvise() with MADV_PAGEOUT. But in the case of physical address, we are calling reclaim_pages() directly. MADV_PAGEOUT on virtual address is much more aggresive to reclaim memory compared to reclaim_pages() on paddr region. This patch removes the details so that the description can apply to both cases. And we don't need to couple with the implementation details.

Docs/mm/damon: move the list of DAMOS actions to design doc
DAMOS operation actions are explained nearly twice on the DAMON usage document, once for the sysfs interface, and then again for the debugfs interface. Duplication is bad. Also it would better to keep this kind of concept level details in design document and keep the usage document small and focus on only the usage. Move the list to design document and update usage document to reference it.

mm/slub: make the description of slab_min_objects helpful in doc
There is no a value assigned to slab_min_objects by default, it always
is 0 that is initialized by compiler if no assigned value by command line.
min_objects is calculated based on processor numbers in calculate_order().
For more details, see commit

mm/rmap: rename COMPOUND_MAPPED to ENTIRELY_MAPPED
We removed all "bool compound" and RMAP_COMPOUND parameters. Let's remove the remaining "compound" terminology by making COMPOUND_MAPPED match the "folio->_entire_mapcount" terminology, renaming it to ENTIRELY_MAPPED. ENTIRELY_MAPPED is only used when the whole folio is mapped using a single page table entry (e.g., a single PMD mapping a PMD-sized THP). For now, we don't support mapping any THP bigger than that, so ENTIRELY_MAPPED only applies to PMD-mapped PMD-sized THP only.

CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack part of this feature, and just for userspace. The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction, the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.

Documentation work keeps chugging along; stuff for 6.6 includes:
- Work from Carlos Bilbao to integrate rustdoc output into the generated
HTML documentation. This took some work to figure out how to do it
without slowing the docs build and without creating people who don't have
Rust installed, but Carlos got there.
- Move the loongarch and mips architecture documentation under
Documentation/arch/.
- Some more maintainer documentation from Jakub
...plus the usual assortment of updates, translations, and fixes.

mm: add orphaned kernel-doc to the rst files.
There are many files in mm/ that contain kernel-doc which is not currently published on kernel.org. Some of it is easily categorisable, but most of it is going into the miscellaneous documentation section to be organised later. Some files aren't ready to be included; they contain documentation with build errors. Or they're nommu.c which duplicates documentation from "real" MMU systems. Those files are noted with a # mark (although really anything which isn't a recognised directive would do to prevent inclusion) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230818200630.2719595-5-willy@infradead.org Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org> Acked-by: Mike Rapoport (IBM) <rppt@kernel.org> Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> |

mm: Make pte_mkwrite() take a VMA
The x86 Shadow stack feature includes a new type of memory called shadow stack. This shadow stack memory has some unusual properties, which requires some core mm changes to function properly. One of these unusual properties is that shadow stack memory is writable, but only in limited ways. These limits are applied via a specific PTE bit combination. Nevertheless, the memory is writable, and core mm code will need to apply the writable permissions in the typical paths that call pte_mkwrite(). Future patches will make pte_mkwrite() take a VMA, so that the x86 implementation of it can know whether to create regular writable or shadow stack mappings. But there are a couple of challenges to this. Modifying the signatures of each arch pte_mkwrite() implementation would be error prone because some are generated with macros and would need to be re-implemented. Also, some pte_mkwrite() callers operate on kernel memory without a VMA. So this can be done in a three step process. First pte_mkwrite() can be renamed to pte_mkwrite_novma() in each arch, with a generic pte_mkwrite() added that just calls pte_mkwrite_novma(). Next callers without a VMA can be moved to pte_mkwrite_novma(). And lastly, pte_mkwrite() and all callers can be changed to take/pass a VMA. Previous work pte_mkwrite() renamed pte_mkwrite_novma() and converted callers that don't have a VMA were to use pte_mkwrite_novma(). So now change pte_mkwrite() to take a VMA and change the remaining callers to pass a VMA. Apply the same changes for pmd_mkwrite(). No functional change.

Since not all archs have a pmd_mkwrite_novma(), create a new arch config HAS_HUGE_PAGE that can be used to tell if pmd_mkwrite() should be defined. Otherwise in the !HAS_HUGE_PAGE cases the compiler would not be able to find pmd_mkwrite_novma(). No functional change.

Docs/mm/damon/design: document 'age' of region
Patch series "Docs/{mm,admin-guide}damon: update design and usage docs".
Update DAMON design and usage documents for outdated and unnecessarily
duplicated parts.
This patch (of 7):
The 'age' of each region in DAMON monitoring results is an important
concept for both monitoring part and DAMOS. And DAMOS section of the
design document is mentioning it. However, the age itself is not
explained in the document. Add a section for that.

mm/pgtable: allow pte_offset_map[_lock]() to fail
Make pte_offset_map() a wrapper for __pte_offset_map() (optionally outputs pmdval), pte_offset_map_lock() a sparse __cond_lock wrapper for __pte_offset_map_lock(): those __funcs added in mm/pgtable-generic.c. __pte_offset_map() do pmdval validation (including pmd_clear_bad() when pmd_bad()), returning NULL if pmdval is not for a page table. __pte_offset_map_lock() verify pmdval unchanged after getting the lock, trying again if it changed. No #ifdef CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE around them: that could be done to cover the imminent case, but we expect to generalize it later, and it makes a mess of where to do the pmd_bad() clearing. Add pte_offset_map_nolock(): outputs ptl like pte_offset_map_lock(), without actually taking the lock. This will be preferred to open uses of pte_lockptr(), because (when split ptlock is in page table's struct page) it points to the right lock for the returned pte pointer, even if *pmd gets changed racily afterwards. Update corresponding Documentation. Do not add the anticipated rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()s yet: they have to wait until all architectures are balancing pte_offset_map()s with pte_unmap()s (as in the arch series posted earlier). But comment where they will go, so that it's easy to add them for experiments. And only when those are in place can transient racy failure cases be enabled. Add more safety for the PAE mismatched pmd_low pmd_high case at that time.

Documentation/mm: Initial page table documentation
This is based on an earlier blog post at people.kernel.org, it describes the concepts about page tables that were hardest for me to grasp when dealing with them for the first time, such as the prevalent three-letter acronyms pfn, pgd, p4d, pud, pmd and pte. I don't know if this is what people want, but it's what I would have wanted. The wording, introduction, choice of initial subjects and choice of style is mine. I discussed at one point with Mike Rapoport to bring this into the kernel documentation, so here is a small proposal. The current form is augmented in response to feedback from Mike Rapoport, Matthew Wilcox, Jonathan Cameron, Kuan-Ying Lee, Randy Dunlap and Bagas Sanjaya.

Docs/mm/damon/faq: remove old questions
Patch series "Docs/mm/damon: Minor fixes and design doc update". Some of the DAMON documents are outdated, or having minor typos or grammar erros. Especially, the design doc has not updated for DAMOS, which is an important part of DAMON. Fix the minor issues and update documents. This patch (of 10): The first two questions of DAMON faqs have raised when DAMON patches were first submitted. More than one year has passed since DAMON patches get merged in the mainline, and that kind of questions are not asked nowadays. Remove the questions.
