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.
 
 - "mm: fix format issues and param types" from Keren Sun implements a
   few minor code cleanups.
 
 - "simplify split calculation" from Wei Yang provides a few fixes and a
   test for the mapletree code.
 
 - "mm/vma: make more mmap logic userland testable" from Lorenzo Stoakes
   continues the work of moving vma-related code into the (relatively) new
   mm/vma.c.
 
 - "mm/page_alloc: gfp flags cleanups for alloc_contig_*()" from David
   Hildenbrand cleans up and rationalizes handling of gfp flags in the page
   allocator.
 
 - "readahead: Reintroduce fix for improper RA window sizing" from Jan
   Kara is a second attempt at fixing a readahead window sizing issue.  It
   should reduce the amount of unnecessary reading.
 
 - "synchronously scan and reclaim empty user PTE pages" from Qi Zheng
   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).
 
 - "selftest/mm: Remove warnings found by adding compiler flags" from
   Muhammad Usama Anjum fixes some build warnings in the selftests code
   when optional compiler warnings are enabled.
 
 - "mm: don't use __GFP_HARDWALL when migrating remote pages" from David
   Hildenbrand tightens the allocator's observance of __GFP_HARDWALL.
 
 - "pkeys kselftests improvements" from Kevin Brodsky implements various
   fixes and cleanups in the MM selftests code, mainly pertaining to the
   pkeys tests.
 
 - "mm/damon: add sample modules" from SeongJae Park enhances DAMON to
   estimate application working set size.
 
 - "memcg/hugetlb: Rework memcg hugetlb charging" from Joshua Hahn
   provides some cleanups to memcg's hugetlb charging logic.
 
 - "mm/swap_cgroup: remove global swap cgroup lock" from Kairui Song
   removes the global swap cgroup lock.  A speedup of 10% for a tmpfs-based
   kernel build was demonstrated.
 
 - "zram: split page type read/write handling" from Sergey Senozhatsky
   has several fixes and cleaups for zram in the area of zram_write_page().
   A watchdog softlockup warning was eliminated.
 
 - "move pagetable_*_dtor() to __tlb_remove_table()" from Kevin Brodsky
   cleans up the pagetable destructor implementations.  A rare
   use-after-free race is fixed.
 
 - "mm/debug: introduce and use VM_WARN_ON_VMG()" from Lorenzo Stoakes
   simplifies and cleans up the debugging code in the VMA merging logic.
 
 - "Account page tables at all levels" from Kevin Brodsky cleans up and
   regularizes the pagetable ctor/dtor handling.  This results in
   improvements in accounting accuracy.
 
 - "mm/damon: replace most damon_callback usages in sysfs with new core
   functions" from SeongJae Park cleans up and generalizes DAMON's sysfs
   file interface logic.
 
 - "mm/damon: enable page level properties based monitoring" from
   SeongJae Park increases the amount of information which is presented in
   response to DAMOS actions.
 
 - "mm/damon: remove DAMON debugfs interface" from SeongJae Park removes
   DAMON's long-deprecated debugfs interfaces.  Thus the migration to sysfs
   is completed.
 
 - "mm/hugetlb: Refactor hugetlb allocation resv accounting" from Peter
   Xu cleans up and generalizes the hugetlb reservation accounting.
 
 - "mm: alloc_pages_bulk: small API refactor" from Luiz Capitulino
   removes a never-used feature of the alloc_pages_bulk() interface.
 
 - "mm/damon: extend DAMOS filters for inclusion" from SeongJae Park
   extends DAMOS filters to support not only exclusion (rejecting), but
   also inclusion (allowing) behavior.
 
 - "Add zpdesc memory descriptor for zswap.zpool" from Alex Shi
   "introduces a new memory descriptor for zswap.zpool that currently
   overlaps with struct page for now.  This is part of the effort to reduce
   the size of struct page and to enable dynamic allocation of memory
   descriptors."
 
 - "mm, swap: rework of swap allocator locks" from Kairui Song redoes and
   simplifies the swap allocator locking.  A speedup of 400% was
   demonstrated for one workload.  As was a 35% reduction for kernel build
   time with swap-on-zram.
 
 - "mm: update mips to use do_mmap(), make mmap_region() internal" from
   Lorenzo Stoakes reworks MIPS's use of mmap_region() so that
   mmap_region() can be made MM-internal.
 
 - "mm/mglru: performance optimizations" from Yu Zhao fixes a few MGLRU
   regressions and otherwise improves MGLRU performance.
 
 - "Docs/mm/damon: add tuning guide and misc updates" from SeongJae Park

a96f9e2773 Docs/mm/damon: add an example monitoring intervals tuning 
Add a DAMON monitoring intervals tuning example that contains output from
a demonstration of the guide on a real server workload system.  The
example with real world numbers will help users better understanding the
guide instructions and what outputs they can expect and verify.  Those
will again help finding the rooms for improvements on the guide.

82047ae184 Docs/mm/damon/design: add monitoring parameters tuning guide 
Patch series "Docs/mm/damon: add tuning guide and misc updates".

Add DAMON monitoring parameters tuning guide (patches 1 and 2), with misc
documentation fixes (patch 3), updates (patch 4) and clarifications (patch
5).


This patch (of 5):

DAMON monitoring parameters including sampling and aggregation intervals
should be tuned for given workloads.  However, the fact is not explicitly
documented.  Also there is no official guide to help the tuning.  This
apparently confused a number of people[1] at best, or made people forgive
DAMON without tuning.  Add a guide on the design document.

db6b435d73 mm: pgtable: introduce pagetable_dtor() 
The pagetable_p*_dtor() are exactly the same except for the handling of
ptlock.  If we make ptlock_free() handle the case where ptdesc->ptl is
NULL and remove VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() from pmd_ptlock_free(), we can unify
pagetable_p*_dtor() into one function.  Let's introduce pagetable_dtor()
to do this.

Later, pagetable_dtor() will be moved to tlb_remove_ptdesc(), so that
ptlock and page table pages can be freed together (regardless of whether
RCU is used).  This prevents the use-after-free problem where the ptlock
is freed immediately but the page table pages is freed later via RCU.

6c18ec9af8 mm: khugepaged: recheck pmd state in retract_page_tables() 
Patch series "synchronously scan and reclaim empty user PTE pages", v4.

Previously, we tried to use a completely asynchronous method to reclaim
empty user PTE pages [1].  After discussing with David Hildenbrand, we
decided to implement synchronous reclaimation in the case of
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) as the first step.

So this series aims to synchronously free the empty PTE pages in
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) case.  We will detect and free empty PTE pages in
zap_pte_range(), and will add zap_details.reclaim_pt to exclude cases
other than madvise(MADV_DONTNEED).

In zap_pte_range(), mmu_gather is used to perform batch tlb flushing and
page freeing operations.  Therefore, if we want to free the empty PTE page
in this path, the most natural way is to add it to mmu_gather as well. 
Now, if CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE is selected, mmu_gather will free
page table pages by semi RCU:

 - batch table freeing: asynchronous free by RCU
 - single table freeing: IPI + synchronous free

But this is not enough to free the empty PTE page table pages in paths
other that munmap and exit_mmap path, because IPI cannot be synchronized
with rcu_read_lock() in pte_offset_map{_lock}().  So we should let single
table also be freed by RCU like batch table freeing.

As a first step, we supported this feature on x86_64 and selectd the newly
introduced CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_PT_RECLAIM.

For other cases such as madvise(MADV_FREE), consider scanning and freeing
empty PTE pages asynchronously in the future.

Note: issues related to TLB flushing are not new to this series and are tracked
      in the separate RFC patch [3]. And more context please refer to this
      thread [4].

[4]. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/6f38cb19-9847-4f70-bbe7-06881bb016be@bytedance.com/


This patch (of 11):

In retract_page_tables(), the lock of new_folio is still held, we will be
blocked in the page fault path, which prevents the pte entries from being
set again.  So even though the old empty PTE page may be concurrently
freed and a new PTE page is filled into the pmd entry, it is still empty
and can be removed.

So just refactor the retract_page_tables() a little bit and recheck the
pmd state after holding the pmd lock.

dbf8be8218 docs/mm: add VMA locks documentation 
Locking around VMAs is complicated and confusing.  While we have a number
of disparate comments scattered around the place, we seem to be reaching a
level of complexity that justifies a serious effort at clearly documenting
how locks are expected to be used when it comes to interacting with
mm_struct and vm_area_struct objects.

This is especially pertinent as regards the efforts to find sensible
abstractions for these fundamental objects in kernel rust code whose
compiler strictly requires some means of expressing these rules (and
through this expression, self-document these requirements as well as
enforce them).

The document limits scope to mmap and VMA locks and those that are
immediately adjacent and relevant to them - so additionally covers page
table locking as this is so very closely tied to VMA operations (and
relies upon us handling these correctly).

The document tries to cover some of the nastier and more confusing edge
cases and concerns especially around lock ordering and page table
teardown.

The document is split between generally useful information for users of mm
interfaces, and separately a section intended for mm kernel developers
providing a discussion around internal implementation details.

cases, DAMON academic papers[2,3] could be better to be read and cited. 
However, there is no clear guidance for those.  Add a paragraph for DAMON
academic papers on the kernel documentation for DAMON.

4835f747d3 alloc_tag: support for page allocation tag compression 
Implement support for storing page allocation tag references directly in
the page flags instead of page extensions.  sysctl.vm.mem_profiling boot
parameter it extended to provide a way for a user to request this mode. 
Enabling compression eliminates memory overhead caused by page_ext and
results in better performance for page allocations.  However this mode
will not work if the number of available page flag bits is insufficient to
address all kernel allocations.  Such condition can happen during boot or
when loading a module.  If this condition is detected, memory allocation
profiling gets disabled with an appropriate warning.  By default
compression mode is disabled.

66efef9b1a mm: pgtable: introduce pte_offset_map_{ro|rw}_nolock() 
Patch series "introduce pte_offset_map_{ro|rw}_nolock()", v5.

As proposed by David Hildenbrand [1], this series introduces the following
two new helper functions to replace pte_offset_map_nolock().

1. pte_offset_map_ro_nolock()
2. pte_offset_map_rw_nolock()

As the name suggests, pte_offset_map_ro_nolock() is used for read-only
case.  In this case, only read-only operations will be performed on PTE
page after the PTL is held.  The RCU lock in pte_offset_map_nolock() will
ensure that the PTE page will not be freed, and there is no need to worry
about whether the pmd entry is modified.  Therefore
pte_offset_map_ro_nolock() is just a renamed version of
pte_offset_map_nolock().

pte_offset_map_rw_nolock() is used for may-write case.  In this case, the
pte or pmd entry may be modified after the PTL is held, so we need to
ensure that the pmd entry has not been modified concurrently.  So in
addition to the name change, it also outputs the pmdval when successful. 
The users should make sure the page table is stable like checking
pte_same() or checking pmd_same() by using the output pmdval before
performing the write operations.

This series will convert all pte_offset_map_nolock() into the above two
helper functions one by one, and finally completely delete it.

This also a preparation for reclaiming the empty user PTE page table
pages.


This patch (of 13):

Currently, the usage of pte_offset_map_nolock() can be divided into the
following two cases:

1) After acquiring PTL, only read-only operations are performed on the PTE
   page. In this case, the RCU lock in pte_offset_map_nolock() will ensure
   that the PTE page will not be freed, and there is no need to worry
   about whether the pmd entry is modified.

2) After acquiring PTL, the pte or pmd entries may be modified. At this
   time, we need to ensure that the pmd entry has not been modified
   concurrently.

To more clearing distinguish between these two cases, this commit
introduces two new helper functions to replace pte_offset_map_nolock(). 
For 1), just rename it to pte_offset_map_ro_nolock().  For 2), in addition
to changing the name to pte_offset_map_rw_nolock(), it also outputs the
pmdval when successful.  It is applicable for may-write cases where any
modification operations to the page table may happen after the
corresponding spinlock is held afterwards.  But the users should make sure
the page table is stable like checking pte_same() or checking pmd_same()
by using the output pmdval before performing the write operations.

Note: "RO" / "RW" expresses the intended semantics, not that the *kmap*
will be read-only/read-write protected.

Subsequent commits will convert pte_offset_map_nolock() into the above
two functions one by one, and finally completely delete it.

f7c80fad6c SLUB: Add support for per object memory policies 
The old SLAB allocator used to support memory policies on a per
allocation bases. In SLUB the memory policies are applied on a
per page frame / folio bases. Doing so avoids having to check memory
policies in critical code paths for kmalloc and friends.

This worked on general well on Intel/AMD/PowerPC because the
interconnect technology is mature and can minimize the latencies
through intelligent caching even if a small object is not
placed optimally.

However, on ARM we have an emergence of new NUMA interconnect
technology based more on embedded devices. Caching of remote content
can currently be ineffective using the standard building blocks / mesh
available on that platform. Such architectures benefit if each slab
object is individually placed according to memory policies
and other restrictions.

This patch adds another kernel parameter

    slab_strict_numa

If that is set then a static branch is activated that will cause
the hotpaths of the allocator to evaluate the current memory
allocation policy. Each object will be properly placed by
paying the price of extra processing and SLUB will no longer
defer to the page allocator to apply memory policies at the
folio level.

This patch improves performance of memcached running
on Ampere Altra 2P system (ARM Neoverse N1 processor)
by 3.6% due to accurate placement of small kernel objects.

maintainer-profile.rst for DAMON separates the links and target

Linus Torvalds
fbc90c042c - 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.

   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.

ce15e8fe05 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.

efeacc2cb6 Docs/mm/damon/design: fix two typos 
Patch series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements".

Fixup typos, clarify regions merging operation design with recent change,
add access pattern snapshot example use case, and improve readability of
the design document and subsystem documents index by
reorganizing/wordsmithing and adding links to other sections and/or
documents for easy browsing.


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'.

437881bc1c 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.

3fe17dd096 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.

because there was no place for such unsorted documents.  Now there is
