93c0476e70 mm/shmem, swap: rework swap entry and index calculation for large swapin 
Instead of calculating the swap entry differently in different swapin
paths, calculate it early before the swap cache lookup and use that for
the lookup and later swapin.  And after swapin have brought a folio,
simply round it down against the size of the folio.

This is simple and effective enough to verify the swap value.  A folio's
swap entry is always aligned by its size.  Any kind of parallel split or
race is acceptable because the final shmem_add_to_page_cache ensures that
all entries covered by the folio are correct, and thus there will be no
data corruption.

This also prevents false positive cache lookup.  If a shmem read request's
index points to the middle of a large swap entry, previously, shmem will
try the swap cache lookup using the large swap entry's starting value
(which is the first sub swap entry of this large entry).  This will lead
to false positive lookup results if only the first few swap entries are
cached but the actual requested swap entry pointed by the index is
uncached.  This is not a rare event, as swap readahead always tries to
cache order 0 folios when possible.

And this shouldn't cause any increased repeated faults.  Instead, no
matter how the shmem mapping is split in parallel, as long as the mapping
still contains the right entries, the swapin will succeed.

The final object size and stack usage are also reduced due to simplified
code:

./scripts/bloat-o-meter mm/shmem.o.old mm/shmem.o
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-145 (-145)
Function                                     old     new   delta
shmem_swapin_folio                          4056    3911    -145
Total: Before=33242, After=33097, chg -0.44%

Stack usage (Before vs After):
mm/shmem.c:2314:12:shmem_swapin_folio   264     static
mm/shmem.c:2314:12:shmem_swapin_folio   256     static

And while at it, round down the index too if swap entry is round down. 
The index is used either for folio reallocation or confirming the mapping
content.  In either case, it should be aligned with the swap folio.

Slightly tidy up the different handling of swap in and error handling for
SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO and non-SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO devices.  Now swapin will
always use either shmem_swap_alloc_folio or shmem_swapin_cluster, then
check the result.

Simplify the control flow and avoid a redundant goto label.

69805ea79d mm/shmem, swap: never use swap cache and readahead for SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO 
For SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO devices, if a cache bypassing THP swapin failed due
to reasons like memory pressure, partially conflicting swap cache or ZSWAP
enabled, shmem will fallback to cached order 0 swapin.

Right now the swap cache still has a non-trivial overhead, and readahead
is not helpful for SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO devices, so we should always skip
the readahead and swap cache even if the swapin falls back to order 0.

So handle the fallback logic without falling back to the cached read.

91ab656ece mm/shmem, swap: tidy up swap entry splitting 
Instead of keeping different paths of splitting the entry before the swap
in start, move the entry splitting after the swapin has put the folio in
swap cache (or set the SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit).  This way we only need one
place and one unified way to split the large entry.  Whenever swapin
brought in a folio smaller than the shmem swap entry, split the entry and
recalculate the entry and index for verification.

This removes duplicated codes and function calls, reduces LOC, and the
split is less racy as it's guarded by swap cache now.  So it will have a
lower chance of repeated faults due to raced split.  The compiler is also
able to optimize the coder further:

bloat-o-meter results with GCC 14:

With DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH (-fno-inline-functions-called-once):
./scripts/bloat-o-meter mm/shmem.o.old mm/shmem.o
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-143 (-143)

shmem_swapin_folio                          2358    2215    -143
Total: Before=32933, After=32790, chg -0.43%

With !DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH:
add/remove: 0/1 grow/shrink: 1/0 up/down: 1069/-749 (320)
Function                                     old     new   delta
shmem_swapin_folio                          2871    3940   +1069

Total: Before=32806, After=33126, chg +0.98%

Since shmem_split_large_entry is only called in one place now. The
compiler will either generate more compact code, or inlined it for
better performance.

c262ffd72c mm/shmem, swap: tidy up THP swapin checks 
Move all THP swapin related checks under CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, so
they will be trimmed off by the compiler if not needed.

And add a WARN if shmem sees a order > 0 entry when
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is disabled, that should never happen unless
things went very wrong.

There should be no observable feature change except the new added WARN.

0cfc0e7e3d mm/shmem, swap: avoid redundant Xarray lookup during swapin 
Patch series "mm/shmem, swap: bugfix and improvement of mTHP swap in", v6.

The current THP swapin path have several problems.  It may potentially
hang, may cause redundant faults due to false positive swap cache lookup,
and it issues redundant Xarray walks.  !CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE builds
may also contain unnecessary THP checks.

This series fixes all of the mentioned issues, the code should be more
robust and prepared for the swap table series.  Now 4 walks is reduced to
3 (get order & confirm, confirm, insert folio),
!CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE build overhead is also minimized, and comes
with a sanity check now.

The performance is slightly better after this series, sequential swap in
of 24G data from ZRAM, using transparent_hugepage_tmpfs=always (24 samples
each):

Before:         avg: 10.66s, stddev: 0.04
After patch 1:  avg: 10.58s, stddev: 0.04
After patch 2:  avg: 10.65s, stddev: 0.05
After patch 3:  avg: 10.65s, stddev: 0.04
After patch 4:  avg: 10.67s, stddev: 0.04
After patch 5:  avg: 9.79s,  stddev: 0.04
After patch 6:  avg: 9.79s,  stddev: 0.05
After patch 7:  avg: 9.78s,  stddev: 0.05
After patch 8:  avg: 9.79s,  stddev: 0.04

Several patches improve the performance by a little, which is about ~8%
faster in total.

Build kernel test showed very slightly improvement, testing with make -j48
with defconfig in a 768M memcg also using ZRAM as swap, and
transparent_hugepage_tmpfs=always (6 test runs):

Before:         avg: 3334.66s, stddev: 43.76
After patch 1:  avg: 3349.77s, stddev: 18.55
After patch 2:  avg: 3325.01s, stddev: 42.96
After patch 3:  avg: 3354.58s, stddev: 14.62
After patch 4:  avg: 3336.24s, stddev: 32.15
After patch 5:  avg: 3325.13s, stddev: 22.14
After patch 6:  avg: 3285.03s, stddev: 38.95
After patch 7:  avg: 3287.32s, stddev: 26.37
After patch 8:  avg: 3295.87s, stddev: 46.24


This patch (of 7):

Currently shmem calls xa_get_order to get the swap radix entry order,
requiring a full tree walk.  This can be easily combined with the swap
entry value checking (shmem_confirm_swap) to avoid the duplicated lookup
and abort early if the entry is gone already.  Which should improve the
performance.

8d58d65621 mm: shmem: fix the shmem large folio allocation for the i915 driver 
After commit acd7ccb284 ("mm: shmem: add large folio support for
tmpfs"), we extend the 'huge=' option to allow any sized large folios for
tmpfs, which means tmpfs will allow getting a highest order hint based on
the size of write() and fallocate() paths, and then will try each
allowable large order.

However, when the i915 driver allocates shmem memory, it doesn't provide
hint information about the size of the large folio to be allocated,
resulting in the inability to allocate PMD-sized shmem, which in turn
affects GPU performance.

Patryk added:

: In my tests, the performance drop ranges from a few percent up to 13%
: in Unigine Superposition under heavy memory usage on the CPU Core Ultra
: 155H with the Xe 128 EU GPU.  Other users have reported performance
: impact up to 30% on certain workloads.  Please find more in the
: regressions reports:
: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/i915/kernel/-/issues/14645
: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/i915/kernel/-/issues/13845
:
: I believe the change should be backported to all active kernel branches
: after version 6.12.

To fix this issue, we can use the inode's size as a write size hint in
shmem_read_folio_gfp() to help allocate PMD-sized large folios.

5c241ed8d0 mm/shmem, swap: improve cached mTHP handling and fix potential hang 
The current swap-in code assumes that, when a swap entry in shmem mapping
is order 0, its cached folios (if present) must be order 0 too, which
turns out not always correct.

The problem is shmem_split_large_entry is called before verifying the
folio will eventually be swapped in, one possible race is:

    CPU1                          CPU2
shmem_swapin_folio
/* swap in of order > 0 swap entry S1 */
  folio = swap_cache_get_folio
  /* folio = NULL */
  order = xa_get_order
  /* order > 0 */
  folio = shmem_swap_alloc_folio
  /* mTHP alloc failure, folio = NULL */
  <... Interrupted ...>
                                 shmem_swapin_folio
                                 /* S1 is swapped in */
                                 shmem_writeout
                                 /* S1 is swapped out, folio cached */
  shmem_split_large_entry(..., S1)
  /* S1 is split, but the folio covering it has order > 0 now */

Now any following swapin of S1 will hang: `xa_get_order` returns 0, and
folio lookup will return a folio with order > 0.  The
`xa_get_order(&mapping->i_pages, index) != folio_order(folio)` will always
return false causing swap-in to return -EEXIST.

And this looks fragile.  So fix this up by allowing seeing a larger folio
in swap cache, and check the whole shmem mapping range covered by the
swapin have the right swap value upon inserting the folio.  And drop the
redundant tree walks before the insertion.

This will actually improve performance, as it avoids two redundant Xarray
tree walks in the hot path, and the only side effect is that in the
failure path, shmem may redundantly reallocate a few folios causing
temporary slight memory pressure.

And worth noting, it may seems the order and value check before inserting
might help reducing the lock contention, which is not true.  The swap
cache layer ensures raced swapin will either see a swap cache folio or
failed to do a swapin (we have SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit even if swap cache is
bypassed), so holding the folio lock and checking the folio flag is
already good enough for avoiding the lock contention.  The chance that a
folio passes the swap entry value check but the shmem mapping slot has
changed should be very low.

   still excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be
   performed reliably.
 
 - The 3 patch series "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" from Anthony Yznaga

 - The 4 patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated
   stats update" from SeongJae Park augments the present
   userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs monitoring files.  Automatic
   update is now provided, along with a tunable to control the update
   interval.
 
 - The 4 patch series "Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" from
   Kemeng Shi does what is claims.
 
 - The 4 patch series "mm: introduce snapshot_page" from Luiz Capitulino
   and David Hildenbrand provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style
   functions can grab a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly
   without tripping over the races inherent in operating on the live
   pageframe directly.
 
 - The 6 patch series "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" from
   Suren Baghdasaryan addresses the large contention issues which can be
   triggered by reads from that procfs file.  Latencies are reduced by more
   than half in some situations.  The series also introduces several new

 - The 6 patch series "__folio_split() clean up" from Zi Yan cleans up
   __folio_split()!

   volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" from wang lian does some
   cleanup work in the selftests code.
 
 - The 3 patch series "tools/testing: expand mremap testing" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding
   more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of
   multiple VMAs" feature.

   from SeongJae Park extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it

Pull fileattr updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This introduces the new file_getattr() and file_setattr() system calls
  after lengthy discussions.

  Both system calls serve as successors and extensible companions to
  the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR system calls which have
  started to show their age in addition to being named in a way that
  makes it easy to conflate them with extended attribute related
  operations.

  These syscalls allow userspace to set filesystem inode attributes on
  special files. One of the usage examples is the XFS quota projects.

  XFS has project quotas which could be attached to a directory. All new
  inodes in these directories inherit project ID set on parent
  directory.

  The project is created from userspace by opening and calling
  FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR on each inode. This is not possible for special
  files such as FIFO, SOCK, BLK etc. Therefore, some inodes are left
  with empty project ID. Those inodes then are not shown in the quota
  accounting but still exist in the directory. This is not critical but
  in the case when special files are created in the directory with
  already existing project quota, these new inodes inherit extended
  attributes. This creates a mix of special files with and without
  attributes. Moreover, special files with attributes don't have a
  possibility to become clear or change the attributes. This, in turn,
  prevents userspace from re-creating quota project on these existing
  files.

  In addition, these new system calls allow the implementation of
  additional attributes that we couldn't or didn't want to fit into the
  legacy ioctls anymore"

Pull misc VFS updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.

  Features:

   - Add ext4 IOCB_DONTCACHE support

     This refactors the address_space_operations write_begin() and
     write_end() callbacks to take const struct kiocb * as their first
     argument, allowing IOCB flags such as IOCB_DONTCACHE to propagate
     to the filesystem's buffered I/O path.

     Ext4 is updated to implement handling of the IOCB_DONTCACHE flag
     and advertises support via the FOP_DONTCACHE file operation flag.

     Additionally, the i915 driver's shmem write paths are updated to
     bypass the legacy write_begin/write_end interface in favor of
     directly calling write_iter() with a constructed synchronous kiocb.
     Another i915 change replaces a manual write loop with
     kernel_write() during GEM shmem object creation.

  Cleanups:

   - don't duplicate vfs_open() in kernel_file_open()

   - proc_fd_getattr(): don't bother with S_ISDIR() check

   - fs/ecryptfs: replace snprintf with sysfs_emit in show function

   - vfs: Remove unnecessary list_for_each_entry_safe() from

   - filelock: add new locks_wake_up_waiter() helper

   - fs: Remove three arguments from block_write_end()

   - VFS: change old_dir and new_dir in struct renamedata to dentrys

   - netfs: Remove unused declaration netfs_queue_write_request()

  Fixes:

   - eventpoll: Fix semi-unbounded recursion

   - eventpoll: fix sphinx documentation build warning

   - fs/read_write: Fix spelling typo

   - fs: annotate data race between poll_schedule_timeout() and

11fe69fbd5 Current exclusion rules for ->d_flags stores are rather unpleasant. 
The basic rules are simple:
 	* stores to dentry->d_flags are OK under dentry->d_lock.
 	* stores to dentry->d_flags are OK in the dentry constructor, before
 becomes potentially visible to other threads.
 Unfortunately, there's a couple of exceptions to that, and that's where the
 headache comes from.
 
 	Main PITA comes from d_set_d_op(); that primitive sets ->d_op
 of dentry and adjusts the flags that correspond to presence of individual
 methods.  It's very easy to misuse; existing uses _are_ safe, but proof
 of correctness is brittle.
 
 	Use in __d_alloc() is safe (we are within a constructor), but we
 might as well precalculate the initial value of ->d_flags when we set
 the default ->d_op for given superblock and set ->d_flags directly
 instead of messing with that helper.
 
 	The reasons why other uses are safe are bloody convoluted; I'm not going
 to reproduce it here.  See https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250224010624.GT1977892@ZenIV/
 for gory details, if you care.  The critical part is using d_set_d_op() only
 just prior to d_splice_alias(), which makes a combination of d_splice_alias()
 with setting ->d_op, etc. a natural replacement primitive.  Better yet, if
 we go that way, it's easy to take setting ->d_op and modifying ->d_flags
 under ->d_lock, which eliminates the headache as far as ->d_flags exclusion
 rules are concerned.  Other exceptions are minor and easy to deal with.
 
 	What this series does:
 * d_set_d_op() is no longer available; new primitive (d_splice_alias_ops())
 is provided, equivalent to combination of d_set_d_op() and d_splice_alias().
 * new field of struct super_block - ->s_d_flags.  Default value of ->d_flags
 to be used when allocating dentries on this filesystem.
 * new primitive for setting ->s_d_op: set_default_d_op().  Replaces stores
 to ->s_d_op at mount time.  All in-tree filesystems converted; out-of-tree
 ones will get caught by compiler (->s_d_op is renamed, so stores to it will
 be caught).  ->s_d_flags is set by the same primitive to match the ->s_d_op.
 * a lot of filesystems had ->s_d_op->d_delete equal to always_delete_dentry;
 that is equivalent to setting DCACHE_DONTCACHE in ->d_flags, so such filesystems
 can bloody well set that bit in ->s_d_flags and drop ->d_delete() from
 dentry_operations.  In quite a few cases that results in empty dentry_operations,
 which means that we can get rid of those.
 * kill simple_dentry_operations - not needed anymore.
 * massage d_alloc_parallel() to get rid of the other exception wrt ->d_flags
 stores - we can set DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP as soon as we allocate the new dentry;
 no need to delay that until we commit to using the sucker.
 
 As the result, ->d_flags stores are all either under ->d_lock or done before
 the dentry becomes visible in any shared data structures.

Pull dentry d_flags updates from Al Viro:
 "The current exclusion rules for dentry->d_flags stores are rather
  unpleasant. The basic rules are simple:

   - stores to dentry->d_flags are OK under dentry->d_lock

   - stores to dentry->d_flags are OK in the dentry constructor, before
     becomes potentially visible to other threads

  Unfortunately, there's a couple of exceptions to that, and that's
  where the headache comes from.

  The main PITA comes from d_set_d_op(); that primitive sets ->d_op of
  dentry and adjusts the flags that correspond to presence of individual
  methods. It's very easy to misuse; existing uses _are_ safe, but proof
  of correctness is brittle.

  Use in __d_alloc() is safe (we are within a constructor), but we might
  as well precalculate the initial value of 'd_flags' when we set the
  default ->d_op for given superblock and set 'd_flags' directly instead
  of messing with that helper.

  The reasons why other uses are safe are bloody convoluted; I'm not
  going to reproduce it here. See [1] for gory details, if you care. The
  critical part is using d_set_d_op() only just prior to
  d_splice_alias(), which makes a combination of d_splice_alias() with
  setting ->d_op, etc a natural replacement primitive.

  Better yet, if we go that way, it's easy to take setting ->d_op and
  modifying 'd_flags' under ->d_lock, which eliminates the headache as
  far as 'd_flags' exclusion rules are concerned. Other exceptions are
  minor and easy to deal with.

  What this series does:

   - d_set_d_op() is no longer available; instead a new primitive
     (d_splice_alias_ops()) is provided, equivalent to combination of
     d_set_d_op() and d_splice_alias().

   - new field of struct super_block - 's_d_flags'. This sets the
     default value of 'd_flags' to be used when allocating dentries on
     this filesystem.

   - new primitive for setting 's_d_op': set_default_d_op(). This
     replaces stores to 's_d_op' at mount time.

     All in-tree filesystems converted; out-of-tree ones will get caught
     by the compiler ('s_d_op' is renamed, so stores to it will be
     caught). 's_d_flags' is set by the same primitive to match the
     's_d_op'.

   - a lot of filesystems had sb->s_d_op->d_delete equal to
     always_delete_dentry; that is equivalent to setting
     DCACHE_DONTCACHE in 'd_flags', so such filesystems can bloody well
     set that bit in 's_d_flags' and drop 'd_delete()' from
     dentry_operations.

     In quite a few cases that results in empty dentry_operations, which
     means that we can get rid of those.

   - kill simple_dentry_operations - not needed anymore

   - massage d_alloc_parallel() to get rid of the other exception wrt
     'd_flags' stores - we can set DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP as soon as we
     allocate the new dentry; no need to delay that until we commit to
     using the sucker.

  As the result, 'd_flags' stores are all either under ->d_lock or done
  before the dentry becomes visible in any shared data structures"

6344a6d9ce mm/shmem: writeout free swap if swap_writeout() reactivates 
If swap_writeout() returns AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE (for example, because
zswap cannot compress and memcg disables writeback), there is no virtue in
keeping that folio in swap cache and holding the swap allocation:
shmem_writeout() switch it back to shmem page cache before returning.

Folio lock is held, and folio->memcg_data remains set throughout, so there
is no need to get into any memcg or memsw charge complications:
swap_free_nr() and delete_from_swap_cache() do as much as is needed (but
beware the race with shmem_free_swap() when inode truncated or evicted).

Doing the same for an anonymous folio is harder, since it will usually
have been unmapped, with references to the swap left in the page tables. 
Adding a function to remap the folio would be fun, but not worthwhile
unless it has other uses, or an urgent bug with anon is demonstrated.

[hughd@google.com: use shmem_recalc_inode() rather than open coding, per Baolin]

ea693aaa5c mm/shmem: hold shmem_swaplist spinlock (not mutex) much less 
A flamegraph (from an MGLRU load) showed shmem_writeout()'s use of the
global shmem_swaplist_mutex worryingly hot: improvement is long overdue.

3.1 commit 6922c0c7ab ("tmpfs: convert shmem_writepage and enable swap")
apologized for extending shmem_swaplist_mutex across add_to_swap_cache(),
and hoped to find another way: yes, there may be lots of work to allocate
radix tree nodes in there.  Then 6.15 commit b487a2da35 ("mm, swap:
simplify folio swap allocation") will have made it worse, by moving
shmem_writeout()'s swap allocation under that mutex too (but the worrying
flamegraph was observed even before that change).

There's a useful comment about pagelock no longer protecting from eviction
once moved to swap cache: but it's good till
shmem_delete_from_page_cache() replaces page pointer by swap entry, so
move the swaplist add between them.

We would much prefer to take the global lock once per inode than once per
page: given the possible races with shmem_unuse() pruning when !swapped
(and other tasks racing to swap other pages out or in), try the swaplist
add whenever swapped was incremented from 0 (but inode may already be on
the list - only unuse and evict bother to remove it).

This technique is more subtle than it looks (we're avoiding the very lock
which would make it easy), but works: whereas an unlocked list_empty()
check runs a risk of the inode being unqueued and left off the swaplist
forever, swapoff only completing when the page is faulted in or removed.

The need for a sleepable mutex went away in 5.1 commit b56a2d8af9 ("mm:
rid swapoff of quadratic complexity"): a spinlock works better now.

This commit is certain to take shmem_swaplist_mutex out of contention, and
has been seen to make a practical improvement (but there is likely to have
been an underlying issue which made its contention so visible).

bfbe71109f mm: update core kernel code to use vm_flags_t consistently 
The core kernel code is currently very inconsistent in its use of
vm_flags_t vs.  unsigned long.  This prevents us from changing the type of
vm_flags_t in the future and is simply not correct, so correct this.

While this results in rather a lot of churn, it is a critical
pre-requisite for a future planned change to VMA flag type.

Additionally, update VMA userland tests to account for the changes.

To make review easier and to break things into smaller parts, driver and
architecture-specific changes is left for a subsequent commit.

The code has been adjusted to cascade the changes across all calling code
as far as is needed.

We will adjust architecture-specific and driver code in a subsequent patch.

Overall, this patch does not introduce any functional change.

The reason is simple, readahead brought some order 0 folio in swap cache,
and the swapin mTHP folio being allocated is in conflict with it, so
swapcache_prepare fails and causes shmem_swap_alloc_folio to return
-EEXIST, and shmem simply retries again and again causing this loop.

Fix it by applying a similar fix for anon mTHP swapin.

The performance change is very slight, time of swapin 10g zero folios
with shmem (test for 12 times):
Before:  2.47s
After:   2.48s

a5cdbe9f37 mm: shmem: only remove inode from swaplist when it's swapped page count is 0 
Even if we fail to allocate a swap entry, the inode might have previously
allocated entry and we might take inode containing swap entry off
swaplist.  As a result, try_to_unuse() may enter a potential dead loop to
repeatedly look for inode and clean it's swap entry.  Only take inode off
swaplist when it's swapped page count is 0 to fix the issue.

e08d5f5156 mm: shmem: avoid unpaired folio_unlock() in shmem_swapin_folio() 
Patch series "Some random fixes and cleanup to shmem", v3.

This series contains some simple fixes and cleanup which are made during
learning shmem.  More details can be found in respective patches.


This patch (of 5):

If we get a folio from swap_cache_get_folio() successfully but encounter a
failure before the folio is locked, we will unlock the folio which was not
previously locked.

Put the folio and set it to NULL when a failure occurs before the folio is
locked to fix the issue.

eb0ece1602 - The 6 patch series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from 
Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
   compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.

   reported.  In all cases the calling code was founf to be incorrect.
 
 - The 4 patch series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong
   implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.
 
 - The 17 patch series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)"
   from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then
   using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled.  More work is
   needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry
   Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations.  They have been
   deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained.

d53c78fffe mm/shmem: use xas_try_split() in shmem_split_large_entry() 
During shmem_split_large_entry(), large swap entries are covering n slots
and an order-0 folio needs to be inserted.

Instead of splitting all n slots, only the 1 slot covered by the folio
need to be split and the remaining n-1 shadow entries can be retained with
orders ranging from 0 to n-1.  This method only requires
(n/XA_CHUNK_SHIFT) new xa_nodes instead of (n % XA_CHUNK_SHIFT) *
(n/XA_CHUNK_SHIFT) new xa_nodes, compared to the original
xas_split_alloc() + xas_split() one.

For example, to split an order-9 large swap entry (assuming XA_CHUNK_SHIFT
is 6), 1 xa_node is needed instead of 8.

xas_try_split_min_order() is used to reduce the number of calls to
xas_try_split() during split.

00a7d39898 fs/pipe: add simpler helpers for common cases 
The fix to atomically read the pipe head and tail state when not holding
the pipe mutex has caused a number of headaches due to the size change
of the involved types.

It turns out that we don't have _that_ many places that access these
fields directly and were affected, but we have more than we strictly
should have, because our low-level helper functions have been designed
to have intimate knowledge of how the pipes work.

And as a result, that random noise of direct 'pipe->head' and
'pipe->tail' accesses makes it harder to pinpoint any actual potential
problem spots remaining.

For example, we didn't have a "is the pipe full" helper function, but
instead had a "given these pipe buffer indexes and this pipe size, is
the pipe full".  That's because some low-level pipe code does actually
want that much more complicated interface.

But most other places literally just want a "is the pipe full" helper,
and not having it meant that those places ended up being unnecessarily
much too aware of this all.

It would have been much better if only the very core pipe code that
cared had been the one aware of this all.

So let's fix it - better late than never.  This just introduces the
trivial wrappers for "is this pipe full or empty" and to get how many
pipe buffers are used, so that instead of writing

        if (pipe_full(pipe->head, pipe->tail, pipe->max_usage))

the places that literally just want to know if a pipe is full can just
say

        if (pipe_is_full(pipe))

instead.  The existing trivial cases were converted with a 'sed' script.

This cuts down on the places that access pipe->head and pipe->tail
directly outside of the pipe code (and core splice code) quite a lot.

The splice code in particular still revels in doing the direct low-level
accesses, and the fuse fuse_dev_splice_write() code also seems a bit
unnecessarily eager to go very low-level, but it's at least a bit better
than it used to be.

058313515d mm: shmem: fix potential data corruption during shmem swapin 
Alex and Kairui reported some issues (system hang or data corruption) when
swapping out or swapping in large shmem folios.  This is especially easy
to reproduce when the tmpfs is mount with the 'huge=within_size'
parameter.  Thanks to Kairui's reproducer, the issue can be easily
replicated.

The root cause of the problem is that swap readahead may asynchronously
swap in order 0 folios into the swap cache, while the shmem mapping can
still store large swap entries.  Then an order 0 folio is inserted into
the shmem mapping without splitting the large swap entry, which overwrites
the original large swap entry, leading to data corruption.

When getting a folio from the swap cache, we should split the large swap
entry stored in the shmem mapping if the orders do not match, to fix this
issue.

Change inode_operations.mkdir to return struct dentry * 
Some filesystems, such as NFS, cifs, ceph, and fuse, do not have
complete control of sequencing on the actual filesystem (e.g.  on a
different server) and may find that the inode created for a mkdir
request already exists in the icache and dcache by the time the mkdir
request returns.  For example, if the filesystem is mounted twice the
directory could be visible on the other mount before it is on the
original mount, and a pair of name_to_handle_at(), open_by_handle_at()
calls could instantiate the directory inode with an IS_ROOT() dentry
before the first mkdir returns.

This means that the dentry passed to ->mkdir() may not be the one that
is associated with the inode after the ->mkdir() completes.  Some
callers need to interact with the inode after the ->mkdir completes and
they currently need to perform a lookup in the (rare) case that the
dentry is no longer hashed.

This lookup-after-mkdir requires that the directory remains locked to
avoid races.  Planned future patches to lock the dentry rather than the
directory will mean that this lookup cannot be performed atomically with
the mkdir.

To remove this barrier, this patch changes ->mkdir to return the
resulting dentry if it is different from the one passed in.
Possible returns are:
  NULL - the directory was created and no other dentry was used
  ERR_PTR() - an error occurred
  non-NULL - this other dentry was spliced in

This patch only changes file-systems to return "ERR_PTR(err)" instead of
"err" or equivalent transformations.  Subsequent patches will make
further changes to some file-systems to return a correct dentry.

Not all filesystems reliably result in a positive hashed dentry:

- NFS, cifs, hostfs will sometimes need to perform a lookup of
  the name to get inode information.  Races could result in this
  returning something different. Note that this lookup is
  non-atomic which is what we are trying to avoid.  Placing the
  lookup in filesystem code means it only happens when the filesystem
  has no other option.
- kernfs and tracefs leave the dentry negative and the ->revalidate
  operation ensures that lookup will be called to correctly populate
  the dentry.  This could be fixed but I don't think it is important
  to any of the users of vfs_mkdir() which look at the dentry.

The recommendation to use
    d_drop();d_splice_alias()
is ugly but fits with current practice.  A planned future patch will
change this.

9c5968db9e The various patchsets are summarized below. Plus of course many 
indivudual patches which are described in their changelogs.
 
 - "Allocate and free frozen pages" from Matthew Wilcox reorganizes the
   page allocator so we end up with the ability to allocate and free
   zero-refcount pages.  So that callers (ie, slab) can avoid a refcount
   inc & dec.
 
 - "Support large folios for tmpfs" from Baolin Wang teaches tmpfs to use
   large folios other than PMD-sized ones.
 
 - "Fix mm/rodata_test" from Petr Tesarik performs some maintenance and
   fixes for this small built-in kernel selftest.
 
 - "mas_anode_descend() related cleanup" from Wei Yang tidies up part of
   the mapletree code.

   addresses an issue where "huge" amounts of pte pagetables are
   accumulated
   (https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1718267194.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com/).
   Qi's series addresses this windup by synchronously freeing PTE memory
   within the context of madvise(MADV_DONTNEED).
